Hope

I have this routine: when I awake in the morning I make my coffee, and check out the news. I have considered it a relatively peaceful way to start my day, but what am I thinking?!? Seriously! Is there a news organization out there that only writes about happy, beautiful, heroic, uplifting, romantic, and touching stories? I promise you, if there were it would be the most sought after from this lady. I have PLENTY drama and negative insanity in my own world. I think that in addition to getting off Facebook (for good) this upcoming 2012 new year, I will change things up a bit in my morning routine. Perhaps I will read the Bible instead. Maybe I will spend that time hand writing (yep, I said it) a letter to someone that I love. Or maybe I will take that time a pray for this nation, 'cause it is certainly heading in the wrong direction on so many levels. Whatever I do, I intend to pursue peace, and joy with tenacity. I suppose that news is news, good or bad it has it's place of reporting. This world is crazy that is evident. I, along with so many others need HOPE. My story is sad but it will not be defined by the sadness. No, my life story will be defined by what comes out of the ashes, what the fire proves worthy, what God brings for good...

The Pensacola News Journal posted an article too.

Thank you for your courage Rick!

I have so much to say. 
Now is not the time. 
This is a well written, short story of the insanity that my family has been walking out. 
I long for justice for all who have been broken as a result. 
May God grant me that desire.
