Well, the time has finally come to say goodbye to my Facebook account. I have realized that social media is what is called in the medical profession, a sucking wound. Medical Definition of sucking wound according to Merriam-Webster : a perforating wound of the chest through which air enters and leaves during respiration. How does… Continue reading So Long, Social Media
We are only in mid-May and it seems like I have walked a million miles. I’m exhausted, confused, and trudging through life. I’m not complaining but just wondering what God is telling me and transforming me for. I started this year in a cyclone of grief after losing my dad last fall. I felt God… Continue reading What Are You Telling Me, God?
Yesterday was a very powerful and impactful day for me. I partnered with my good friend, Tunya to meet and greet the homeless in our community. There was an opportunity to meet some homeless people in a neighboring community and we needed to bring something to share with them and spend time with them. I… Continue reading The Homeless Have Names
Have you ever heard of grace described as “favor towards the unworthy”? It seems as society gets more demanding and unforgiving I reflect on grace. Grace or as I like to say Giving Real Appreciation Changes Everything! This morning I got up early and drove an hour in thick traffic for a very important meeting.… Continue reading Grace Upon Grace Upon Grace
I recently took a short tumble down the stairs in our home. Let me rephrase that, I took a very ungraceful slide down our carpeted staircase. I wasn’t hurt more than a bruised bottom and a few rug burns on my arms. If you have had a rug burn you know they can be very… Continue reading Where Does Your Band-Aid Need to Be?

Hi Laura,
I was truly blessed by hearing about your ministry at the recent Chamber of Commerce meeting in Allen, TX. Being just a guest and hearing about the difficulties you experienced losing your loved one and the experiences you had dealing with family members, friends, and others really choked me up. By the Grace of God you learned to overcome these difficulties and develop the Grateful Gratitude box for others was heartfelt! I really appreciate your business ministry and what you are doing for others since experiencing such a tragic loss.
I have also been in a very difficult situation myself with a loved one who was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). CJD is a very rare brain disease that strikes one out of one million people worldwide. There is no cure or treatment with an average life expectency of only 7 months. My wife has lived 15 months with the disease and has been in a comotose state for a whole year. Following the Chamber od Commerce meeting last Tuesday she came down with pneumonia and is expected to pass soon.
You gave me a sense of peace hearing you speak. I continue to pray for her to pass on with no further pain. She is a Christian woman and it is undescribable to even tell you about what family members can do to each other in a dire situation like this.
Please keep me in your prayers and likewise I will certainly be praying for you and your ministry.
Regards,
Joseph
