If the salary was the same, what job would you be doing right now and why?

It took me a less than a split second to answer this question. Regardless of whether the salary was the same, I’d go back 40 years and become a member of our U.S. Air Force, rather than have allowed myself to be talked out of it. The reasons are for God and Country.

I see you
Shrouded, but standing
Never for naught,
Reminding me
All I was taught to do
Admonishing
There is still more that is true

I pray for you
Storied…strong, be
Herald in healing,
I ask for thee
Glory, revealing the fight!
Unfolding
Until all know The Light

I am never going to tell.

I’ll talk circles around them when they inquire and railroad them as they pry. I’ll question their questioning, “Isn’t it obvious?” I’ll ask.

And should they speculate, I’ll lead them on, Westward, with the same come-hither look in my eyes that you gave me.

You taught me what I’ll teach them: Find the glory…find you’re gold.

This Cup

I’m learning how to cry in deep despair and pour my blessed hot coffee at the very same time

Pain and gratitude in the same cup, indeed

I’m becoming better at praying goodness for others at my broken heart’s expense

Love and sacrifice from the same vein, it frees

I’m deciding to live with the dread of the box I was put into and with hope that I’ll one day be free

Abuse and healing in the same lifetime, glory
