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

I lived out a dream last week
Have you ever had one of those dreams you wish you never had? You know what I mean…someone is chasing you and you can’t move your legs…or a T-Rex is about to eat you alive. Yeah, you want to erase it from your memory but you can’t. Being poor has it’s pitfalls. Driving an old… Continue reading I lived out a dream last week
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
I Think My Identical Twin is Charlie Brown
I’ve heard it said that everybody has an identical twin somewhere in the world. The longer I live the more I’m convinced my twin’s name is Charlie Brown. Apparently Charles Schultz watched my life story when he came up with the idea for this fictional character. If he didn’t he sure could have. You remember… Continue reading I Think My Identical Twin is Charlie Brown
ONE WISH FROM GOD
Solomon led the delegation to Gibeon after his speech and feast. He paused when they crested the hill. The tabernacle Moses built always made him pause. They spent the entire day offering burnt offerings to God. Most were commissioned by the king. Others he did himself. The total offerings by days end was one thousand.… Continue reading ONE WISH FROM GOD
IT’S YOU SIR
Nathan paused when he approached the throneroom door. “LORD, give me the strength to do Your work here.” He pulled the door open and walked up to King David. David smiled and cocked his head to the left. “Nathan, I didn’t expect you today. To what do I owe this pleasure?” “There were two men.… Continue reading IT’S YOU SIR
Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?
As I recall Phil said there was going to be six more weeks of winter on February 2nd. You know…that groundhog in Pennsylvania. So why are we in the 70’s and 80’s here in Texas already? I’ve even seen where it’s in the 70’s back in Michigan…and it’s only the middle of the month. I… Continue reading Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?
TESTING GOD
Gideon tapped the heads of wheat against the rim of the winepress. The pile inside looked like enough for about two ephahs. He glanced over his shoulder. I hope the Midianites don’t find me here. They shouldn’t since grape harvest won’t occur for a few more months. A minute later he looked around. He caught himself… Continue reading TESTING GOD
I don’t have a word for this year, but I do have a verse
Facebook can be such a time waster most days. When I have the time to waste it’s no big deal. Okay, I admit to spending too much time perusing what folks are posting. It is a good way to keep track of what my siblings and their kids are up to. That used to be… Continue reading I don’t have a word for this year, but I do have a verse
