It is late. The house is quiet and still. Everyone is snug in their own beds. This lately is my favorite time. I pray, I cry, I reflect, and gather myself together. I can take off my momma and wife armour and breath. I can show weaknesses and gather in strength for tomorrow. Our [...]

Cold, colder, coldest, really cold
