Never forgotten
On June 3, 2016 by Michelle LoveThe students and staff at North Lincoln Middle School will never forget you BJ. They retired your football number.

One Decision. The Beginning of the End…One Year Ago
On May 22, 2016 by Michelle LoveOne year ago today, BJ had a normal monthly chemo infusion visit to Levine Pediatric Hematology Oncology clinic.

The Weaver
On May 5, 2016 by Michelle Love“My life is but a weaving, between the Lord and me; I cannot choose the colors. He worketh steadily.

106.9 The Light – Everything Comes Alive
On April 12, 2016 by Michelle LoveJust wanted to share something with you… Music speaks to me often, and has throughout my life. Your station is instrumental in keeping my head above it all on a daily basis. God has used other ways as well to send me reminders and messages through the years. This particular time, I needed a sign, Read More
What’s the Plan?!
On March 28, 2016 by Michelle LoveHe didn’t save BJ. He didn’t heal him in the way we thought He would, or even thought He should. It’s been 3 weeks now. I’ve never been so broken or felt so lost. I’ve been sad, and distraught, and solemn and sullen. I’ve had fleeting moments of laughter with no tears, and laughter through Read More
3 Weeks of Wandering
On March 27, 2016 by Michelle LoveThree weeks ago today, BJ left us. For three eternal weeks, we’ve been trying to find our way through each day without him.
