August 1, 2016 ribbonrx Comments 0 Comment

I’m going to be doing this challenge I found on Pinterest for the month of August. Fasten your seat belts. You’re probably going to learn more about my illnesses than you want to. Most of these will be pretty short, so I may be double-posting with some other longer posts on some days. Day…

Why?

Why?

As yet another month of 2016 begins and the summer ebbs on, I am left to reflect. Sorry, it’s just something I do late at night, and it’s late at night here in northeast Ohio. Or actually, really early in the morning. My previous post July-A Month in Review was a reflection on all…

2012 was the year my health started its journey to hell in a hand basket. I’ve talked about all of my other chronic illnesses on the blog so far, but have left this one for last, I think because it’s actually the one I think about the least; I’ve had it the longest, so…

In 2004, at the age of 19, I felt called by the Lord to sponsor a child through Compassion International. I had no idea where to start, so I hopped on the website and started looking for a child to sponsor. It wasn’t long before I came across little Heybi, a 9-year old child…
