It’s been a while since I tickled the keys of my laptop on this site. All October I thought about it since it was Domestic Violence Awareness month. To be honest I just didn’t want to think about that topic.

There is a term found in The Good Book: Long Suffering.It means to stand with a person, place, or thing, or situation for a long time…to endure.It also means strength under control…because that is what it takes to maintain this quality.

I have been long suffering with the wrong things.
I endured abuse for several years.
I endured the low life that alcoholism brings for decades.
I have stayed in a run down converted apartment for a couple years rather than look for something better out of fear I couldn’t due to my lack of credit history.

But there are things that I have not suffered long through.
