A guy I know committed suicide yesterday. I didn’t know him well, but it makes me sad all the same. I hope God is merciful and gracious and loving, but perhaps He isn’t, since we’re made in His image and most of us aren’t any of . . . → Read More: Perhaps

After All Of This
By Susan Werner
I would like to think
There’s something
After all of this
When life’s final kiss

I apologize for the depressing tone of my writings over the past week, but I can’t pretend to be in a joyful frame of mind. I mentioned to my partner that I might not write about certain things, but he (being a psychology major) felt that it might be therapeutic. Hopefully, I’ll be back to “normal” . . . → Read More: Worth Living For
