A Place Called Home
They had slowly crept out of the city. Soaked roads, sleet pounding down around the car. They had just filled up the tank; after all, they needed to get there. He loved the smell of gasoline; it promised power and speed ahead. And yet, it was fleeting.

When I Think About Her
When I think about her, I see the color purple (her favorite) all around me and I taste the sweetness of the Juicy Fruit gum she always had in her handbag. I could smell it before I ever saw it as the scent permeated the whole room. She had other mysteries dispersed in that bag, too...back then all the ladies carried decorated handkerchiefs wherever they went. Sometimes you could even see them stuff those squares into their pockets or their bosom for safekeeping. The fanciest ones, usually with lace, were the ones my Grandma would use when she met other ladies to play bridge.

God’s Light in a Storm
This past year has tested me in ways I never expected. After a devastating flood wiped out my apartment, I lost just about everything I owned. In the middle of election season, when the country feels like it’s split down the middle and everyone’s drawn their line in the sand, I got a surprising reminder of what community and God’s light really looks like.

Taking Care of Sweet Souls
Taking Care of Sweet Souls In life, we come across many people who accompany us along our journey, but among them, there are a few who stand out as truly special. The value of these sweet souls often remains unnoticed, until the moment they are no longer by our side. The sweet souls that fate grants us are precious gifts, bringing us true joy in the smallest of things and offering a sense of stability in life. However, there are times when a fleeting moment of sorrow or a misunderstanding causes us to distance ourselves from these sweet souls. But by doing so, we risk losing something irreplaceable. For such sweet souls are rare in life, and it is through them that we experience the true beauty of life.

Tales of Hearth
The snow had been falling steadily since morning, blanketing the small town of Willowbrook in a hush that only winter could bring. Each rooftop was capped with white, and the bare branches of the oaks lining Main Street bore a dusting that shimmered in the pale light of late afternoon. Inside the corner bakery, the air was thick with the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg, mingling with the fresh aroma of baked bread, apple cider, and rich hot chocolate. The warmth from the ovens was a welcome contrast to the biting cold outside.

The Language of the Heart
The Language of the Heart Words—so simple, so effortlessly spoken—yet they carry an immeasurable power within them. Like a master key, they can unlock the most stubborn doors of the mind when used wisely and at the right moment. On the other hand, words spoken hastily or insensitively can lead to silence, misunderstandings, and the permanent shutting of those very doors.
