To the citizens of Chattanooga --
Ever since the news first broke of what happened there yesterday, my heart has been breaking for you and praying for you!!!
In 1991 I was introduced to you as I was going through on the way to Cleveland, TN (long story that I'd rather not share at this time). Since that time, I have loved everything about your city -- the scenery (hence why you're called the Scenic City), the people, the attractions, the radio and TV stations...I loved it so much I came back in 1999-01 and again in 2011.
When news first broke of the tragedy, like the rest of the nation I cried because outside of my home town and state, I have an affinity for Chattanooga. Why would someone do something that heinous and demonic in a town like Chattanooga? Thankfully, your officers saw to it that the person responsible made it to his eternal judgement while the ones that gave their life stood at The Pearly Gates and gave the ultimate salute to our Lord.
I will always have a place in my heart for Chattanooga and its people. God bless Chattanooga!!!

Having a sad...
This weekend, my youngest niece and nephew (my sister Stephenie's two kids) are here with us...spending some time with MeMe (my mom) and Pop Pop (my dad) and celebrating my brother Jeremy's 31st birthday.
While it is nice having them here and loving on them and having a great time with them, something feels missing. As much as we love our cousins and their kids, and I'm sure Jeremy feels the same way...I kinda wish I had some littleuns of my own so my niece and nephew can have cousins of their age (7 and 4 almost 5) to play with.
And as much as I was looking forward to getting married and having littleuns of my own in the beginning of adulthood...right now at this stage it would be something of Abrahamic proportions. And before you ask...no I wouldn't mind having an "instant family" or once I get better financial footing, fostering/adopting.
And since this will probably be the first that my family has seen or heard of something like this from me, I realize that everything that has happened (being engaged before, that 7 week shamockery of a marriage, etc.) will probably try to factor in to any future relationships if I let it...but I won't.
Now that this is out of the way...I'll go enjoy the rest of the weekend with my niece and nephew.
