Salvation

Over the years, I have slowly come to realize that salvation is not something someone else can give you. Salvation has nothing to do with religion. Salvation is about finding yourself and becoming what you really want in your life. Salvation comes from a higher power who inspires each of us to find a way to save ourselves. Often our salvation comes as a result of bad times.

Recently, a close friend has been having some major trials. I have tried to reach out to him, but he saw it as meddling and he lashed out at me. Even though I cannot help him find salvation, I pray that he will find inspiration to change his life and find peace from the trials that he is going through. I really do, my friend.

Here, There, Underwear, and Everywhere

Chiggers...

Until you have had them, you have no idea how miserable their bites can be. Almost three weeks after first getting them, they still itch, though not as much as they once did. Most are in areas that do not show, but my arms are like a battleground.

Rooting out the underground came with a price to rid my yard of the evil vines and weeds. Evil won the battle for my skin. But hopefully we are winning the war for the yard.
