Do you remember the first time you flew in an airplane? I do like it was yesterday. Mostly because as I’m writing this on August 26, 2018 it was just yesterday I first defied gravity commercially. That’s right. It took until I’m 57 years of age before I actually flew. I knew I’d enjoy the… Continue reading My First Flight

Death is a Part of Life
When you grow up on a farm you learn two important lessons pretty early in life. The first lesson is that the work isn’t done until it’s finished, no matter what the clock says. I come across folks all the time who look at the clock and base that as to when they can quit… Continue reading Death is a Part of Life
Little Hugs From Jesus
My summer of toddlers 2018 is almost over. I think there’s one more week officially before the kiddos graduate to the next class…or down the hallway at least. There’s a part of me that wants to keep coming back every week for the rest of my life, but I know I need adult interaction more… Continue reading Little Hugs From Jesus
Clifford Rides Again, or is it Still?
July is a pivotal month for The Wade Webster. Has been for the past several years for many reasons. When I arrived home near the middle of the month there was a white sheet of paper stuck in my little clip fastened next to my door. My apartment number was written in marker on the… Continue reading Clifford Rides Again, or is it Still?
It Could Have Been Much Worse
I need to remember that any week leading up to a Kairos Prison Ministry event will be full of surprises and challenges. Last Saturday was the summer celebration event. Past Kairos inmates from any preceding Kairos weekend were invited to attend. Several of the volunteers who were at the weekend I was at joined others… Continue reading It Could Have Been Much Worse
Sometimes Clarity is Better Than Progress
There are three basic answers to prayer…so they say…Yes, no and wait. Since God isn’t One to be hemmed in by our parameters He likes to sneak in an exception once in a while. I think I received one this week…not this one. I suppose that could be interpreted as a no, but not really.… Continue reading Sometimes Clarity is Better Than Progress
This Year is Half Done Already
Six months of 2018 are behind us now. Has this year been all you hoped it would be so far? Not for me. Oh, there were signs things would be changing. A few hopeful sparks rose from the fire only to sputter out quickly. A partial inheritance helped for a couple of months. Now I’m… Continue reading This Year is Half Done Already
How Old Would You Be?
Satchel Paige didn’t have an official birth certificate so there was a guess made about how old he was when he entered the Negro League of Professional Baseball. He pitched until he was “59” years old. Some wondered how he was able to keep going at such a high level for so long. He said,… Continue reading How Old Would You Be?
Eek is One Step Closer
When my pre-writer’s creative mind came up with the idea for a mouse that thinks his name is Eek because that’s what people say when they see him I didn’t know I would be the one writing his story. It’s been quite a journey for me. This adventure began it’s next leg about ten years… Continue reading Eek is One Step Closer
I Was Part of a Miracle This Week
When the senior pastor of your church is also the chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary certain unique opportunities become available to you. One thing that happens is many seminary professors teach adult fellowships at that church. I have the privilege of sitting under the teaching of Dr John Hannah, professor of church history at DTS.… Continue reading I Was Part of a Miracle This Week
