It’s Fine to Not be Fine!

Everyday faith

I’m going to be very real with y’all right now.

I found poop on my wall the other day. It had been there less than a week but more than a day.

Let’s visit a few important points about the sentences above:
1. I live in south-central PA and the “south” part of that statement makes it ok for me to say “y’all”
2. Also I like to drink out of mason jars. That’s southern. Right?
3. I have a 6 month old daughter
4. My life is a little chaotic at times
5. The wall is now clean


Read the rest over at Allume today and find out how I’m admitting I’m not “fine”? I promise there is a point to this story!

    {Kathy} Nothing like a little poop to make life real.  You have struck a nerve with my “fine” side.  Thanks for the reality check…and the humor.
