Living Chronically Blessed

The Collapsing of Straightforward How are you supposed to process cancer? I knew in my heart before he went into surgery that it was cancer. I’ve dealt with life-altering diagnoses before, but nothing has hit me quite this hard. Maybe it’s because I’m a Johnson, maybe it’s my trust issues, maybe it was the Holy…

It’s been a little over a year since quarantine started here in Kansas City. No doubt at times the challenges have felt soul-crushing and maybe there have been moments when the weight of it all has left me feeling trapped under its heaviness.
