There are times in life we face things not of our own doing or choosing.We are at the mercy of our own feelings. We look at things and still can't see what lies beyond. Sometimes those who are blind have the greater vision. The can touch what we don't perceive. They hear what others can't. Most people who are blind do not become the cynic, rather the acceptor of the spirit. To them rain is thirst. To them the ground they walk on is their foundation. They seek rather than retreat. They question life's hypocrisies. They are the true believers. While some turn their back on the truth, they welcome it. They show a strength that we cannot fathom. Meet Debra Lee Diggins, she is all of this and more. Join her on her journey-take her hand and walk with her.Sometimes the Bullfrogs Sing is a story of a young girl's transcendence from girl-child to womanhood.

Debra asked.Geneva stood up and pointed in the direction of the sounds that they were making. She replied in a soft, seductive voice, "That's them singing, singing to each other. The women singing to their menfolk, come on over, get to know me. Once you meet me, we're gonna get along real good."Debra replied, "Bullfrogs can't sing."Geneva turned to Debra. "Yes, they do, honey. You just have to listen the right way. Everyone in life, all God's creatures, needs someone special to spend good times with, so you can put the bad ones behind. Times so bad you get knocked down and don't want to get up."
