Where am I? Who is that sitting on a throne? His robe is incredible. It’s filling every part of the floor. Those beings over the throne…who are they? Why do they have wings…six wings on each one? They’re using two to fly with, but why are they covering their face and feet? The seraphim spoke… Continue reading Called to Fail

Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
Jonah awoke with a sharp pain on his leg. He reached down and groped his right shin. He pealed off what must have been a section of octopus tentacle. “Lord, how much longer must I suffer like this? I’m sorry for running. I know it was foolish of me. Nobody can win against You. Please… Continue reading Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
The Holidays are Hard
A writer’s life is fraught with challenges. Like properly using the word fraught in a sentence to lead off a blog post. If God chooses you to write for His glory don’t expect an easy life.

Stress is Spelled M-Y L-I-F-E
Thursday I drove from Ft Worth to Amarillo. I’ve done it several times and lived to tell about it. So, what made it so different this time? It was 86 degrees when I left Thursday afternoon.

Gentle Voice
Elijah opened his eyes. A hand was on his shoulder. “Get up and eat this.” He looked to his left. A small cake and some water sat on a rock. When he turned back to the man nobody was there. He sat up, ate the meal then laid back down. Another hand on his shoulder… Continue reading Gentle Voice

God vs god
King Ahab stepped out of his chariot and approached Elijah. “So, there’s that troublemaker.” Elijah shook his head slowly. “I’m not the troublemaker. I’m just the messenger. You’re the one worshiping other gods. You know better than that. Call all the people of Israel together on Mount Carmel. Make sure all 450 prophets of Baal… Continue reading God vs god
October 2017 News from a Starving Writer
The good news is I made it through September with my bank account in good standing. The bad news is I don’t know how far into October that standing will stand. I’m in the throws of Starving Artist Syndrome…or stopped truck driver conundrum…or both. Yeah, both of um. Either way my bills are looking like… Continue reading October 2017 News from a Starving Writer
A Dr. Seuss-ish Post
I have some opening lines in my head. They seem a bit like something Dr. Seuss would write so this could get interesting. I guess I’m letting y’all into a writer’s brain for a change…this writer’s brain anyway. Here goes… What if a dog and a frog sat on a log? Would there still be… Continue reading A Dr. Seuss-ish Post
Lessons from the Toddler Whisperer
Another summer with the toddlers has closed for the Toddler Whisperer. Since I never had children of my own I get my grandfather fix during the summer months. More firsts were encountered. More lessons learned by this old man. God directly answered one of my emails at the very beginning of the summer. When I… Continue reading Lessons from the Toddler Whisperer
