They Won

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on April 9, 2019. Posted in General, LOVE. 5 Comments on They Won

Every article begins with the story of How They Lost. The defeat, the humiliation, the unprecedented collapse. But, last night, one year later, the story was of How They Won. In another time and long ago, I went to the University of Virginia. I was young when I arrived, only seventeen years old. I wanted to go to a BIG, GOOD school,...

Dogs in the Bed

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 25, 2019. Posted in General, LOVE. 2 Comments on Dogs in the Bed

I have a history of unhealthy, deranged harassment of the dogs in my bed (we’re talking canine dogs, not human ones). For little Providence—sweet, gentle, patient Yorkie Providence—it was the Middle of the Night Companion Call. Everyone in the bed would be sleeping. Snore, snore, snore. Except me. My eyeballs shone in the...

Bone Folding

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 21, 2019. Posted in General, GOD, GRIEF, LOVE, Writing. 2 Comments on Bone Folding

As I talked about in my earlier post, I am creating one thing of beauty each day of this Lenten season. Technically, Sundays aren’t Lent. (For what it’s worth, neither is Holy Week). Yet, I wanted to do my beauty thing today, so here it is. We march on toward Easter. <3

The Beauty of Lent 2019
