Eyes Of An Angel

The story of this teenager has touched me in so many ways.  Clay Barnard accomplished in thirteen short years what a lot of people could never accomplish in 113… pure selfless compassion.
The Castor teenager lost his life yesterday while trying to save the life of a little dog.  Barnard’s family says he was the most [...]

Less than two months and counting.Â
I’m not taking this whole turning forty thing very well.  It consumes my every thought and no matter what I do, it won’t go away.  It’s like a bad blister on this butt we call life.
