When I bow my head

There is a song by Trace Adkins "All I Ask for Anymore" that has struck a chord. When I was 24, I lost my dad to cancer. Growing up, you never consider that the people you love most may not always be there. Still, I had heard the word "cancer" the first time when I was just 18. A part of me always knew we were living on borrowed time.

So now, I have family of my own. And much like the song, the things I pray for now are simple. Keep family safe. Let everyone stay healthy. The prayers are so simple and yet, when you think of it, such a huge request. Safe and healthy. If you have that, everything else just seems to fall into place.
