Day 39
If you follow the O’Garas and read our words, it’s no secret that we believe in God. We have a very open idea of who God is. We pray every day for God to bless us and believe with no uncertainty that God did bless us this week as we are going through the journey […]

Sometimes You Need a Little Time
I have taken a few days off from writing. Before my short break I had posted to this blog every day for 569 days. I was a little disappointed in myself for breaking my streak, but I needed the time to regroup. I need space to think about where my writing was going. By taking […]

Just One More Thing
Sometimes when you’re finished, someone wants one more thing. When you’ve had all you can take and just need a rest, you hear “Can you do just this one more thing?” Just one more thing has to be one of the most irritating phrases in the English language. Y’all I’m so done with just one […]

Don’t hide Your Awesomeness
Every human has a little something that makes them special. It may be something strange or unusual. Maybe you like to read weird books. No matter what your thing is don’t hide it from the world. Those who your thing irritates don’t count in the big scheme of things, now do they?
