When I was a little girl, one of my favorite super heroes was Batman. I can hear the theme song from the television show playing in my mind. The thing I loved about Batman and other super heroes was the fact that they rescued people from bad things. They fought for people and did everything they could to help them escape from horrible situations. I also wanted a hero to come and rescue me. I wanted someone to take me out of my circumstances, but no one ever did. Continue reading “I Need A Hero”

I knew that forgiving would set me free, but it would also set the other person free and I didn’t know if I was ready for that yet. Continue reading “Tug of War”
Every time I hear the theme music of Mission Impossible, I get excited. I know there is going to be a lot of action and intrigue ahead for the IMF team. I actually watched the television show when I was a young girl before Tom Cruise made it so popular with the movie version. Each time you watched the shows or the movies, the IMF team was given an impossible task to perform to save someone or something from happening. I loved watching them figure out the best way to accomplish their task and turning the mission from impossible to possible. Continue reading “Mission Impossible-Fighting to forgive”
