Our Broken Heart is Still Beating

As much as I didn’t want to do it my budget told me I had to take the through-the-night delivery beginning Tuesday night. It was scheduled to depart near DFW Airport at midnight.

Where Has My Country Gone?

I love the United States of America. I love the fact we claim the most freedoms of any country in the world. I love the work ethic I share with most of our citizens.

LAUGHTER FOLLOWED BY A DISMISSAL

Abraham smiled broadly as Jesus approached. Jesus’s smile was just as big. “So, how’s that baby boy doing?” “He’s just finishing up another feeding.
