Just Show Up – The Great ‘Alone’

By |2019-06-23T13:52:03-07:00June 23rd, 2019|Blog|

Nestled in among twinkling aspen trees along the tallest peak in Colorado is my blessed get away for the next 4 -5 weeks. What we lovingly call the McGraw Compound in Twin Lakes. One week ago I arrived on Father's Day. I drove non-stop from Sherman, Tx, a 13 hour drive, and listened the The [...]

Just Show Up – Healing After Childhood Sexual Abuse

By |2019-02-09T06:28:14-07:00February 9th, 2019|Blog|

I woke up this morning immediately wanting to write and now I am at a loss for how to begin. It is 6:30am and I couldn't sleep so I perused my social media sites (which I'm not very good at keeping track of in full disclosure) and I hit on Twitter. I never read through [...]

Just Show Up – Life After Death

By |2019-01-21T14:37:03-07:00January 21st, 2019|Blog|

Time has not been my friend. Only 28 days have passed since Dad's last breath and yet I feel as if I've lived through months of emotional turmoil where the days are excruciatingly slow. From the date of Dad's memorial service (January 4th), his sister, my Aunt Dee, was buried exactly one week later. To [...]

Just Show Up – My Dad’s Last Poker Hand

By |2018-12-18T09:12:59-07:00December 18th, 2018|Blog|

Dad's cancer is vicious and rapid. When first diagnosed within the first two weeks we were graced with time alone together he had said to me, "This is growing fast, Shannon, I can feel it." Regardless, Dad wanted to play the odds. He went to MDAnderson and heard that he had a 90% chance of [...]

Just Show Up – My Time in Prison

By |2018-11-18T20:39:22-07:00November 18th, 2018|Blog|

In full disclosure, because I have been so preoccupied with my father's heath, my own immediate family's health issues, and the survivor's I'm seeing in the ministry, I was not exactly excited to be leaving it all to go spend three days in prison. Well, I mean, who wants to go to prison? ;) As [...]

Just Show Up – Precious Life

By |2018-10-02T08:49:24-07:00October 2nd, 2018|Blog|

I know I should be commenting on the Kavanaugh situation (and I have been watching and keeping up with it) but, once again, LIFE has thrown something my way that is simply more important. Last week my father has been diagnosed with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. We are still waiting on the pathology [...]
