In the Cocoon-overcoming my fears
Anyone who has known me since the tornado on January 23, 2012, knows the movement and sensations of everything crumbling on us transferred to driving anxiety.

You aren’t there or there. Rest here. Where you are.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 We worry. Have such anxiety. People can’t function, can’t sleep, […]
