I still derive most of my income from driving trucks, eighteen-wheeler semi’s mostly. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve come up behind a vehicle traveling slower than me. My inclination is to pass them when it’s safe to do so. More times than not the other driver speeds up before I can… Continue reading If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier

I don’t know much about the future, but I do know this.
Holy “What day is it?” My life has gotten extremely crazy lately. Hence the Monday blog post on Wednesday. I don’t know when I’ll finally get another Friday post out. Prayers are appreciated. My poor female mailman has gotten quite the workout carrying my 900 books into the apartment complex’s office last week. I put… Continue reading I don’t know much about the future, but I do know this.
Did the time change affect you adversely? Not me
Here we go again. The federal government has enforced another forced hour-less of sleep on most of its citizens. A show of hands now…how many of you slept through till your normal time to wake up and showed up to church an hour late? I see that hand. The people most affected by this slight… Continue reading Did the time change affect you adversely? Not me
Sprig haz Sprung id Dort Tekas
Ahhh…the smell of pollen in the air. Spring has arrived early in North Texas this year. El Nino has been kind to us while other folks are still digging snow, with angst and vulgar vocabulary.

A DECLARATION AND A REQUEST
When the three men finished eating they stood. Abraham stood and followed them as they walked eastward. Jesus stopped. The others did, too. “I must explain to Abraham what I’m about to do since he must pass down My requirements of righteousness and justice to the nation I have chosen through him. Every nation shall… Continue reading A DECLARATION AND A REQUEST
A PROMISE AND A DENIAL
Abraham stared at the heat waves rising from the plains. His head nodded. “A nap would be nice, but the tent’s too hot.” A bead of sweat rolled down his side. He rubbed his arm across the area to stop the tickle. He swatted at a fly buzzing his right ear. That’s when he noticed… Continue reading A PROMISE AND A DENIAL
Happy 2/22 Day Y’all!
So, what’s so special about three twos on the same date? Some of you want to know. I don’t know either. I just noticed it and decided to write a blog post about it. That’s all. Last month we celebrated 1/11 day, so I thought 2/22 day needed some recognition, too. No, I just checked,… Continue reading Happy 2/22 Day Y’all!
A REQUEST FOLLOWED BY ACTION
Abram strolled around one of his flocks of sheep in the cool of the morning. He tried to remember the size of his herds when he first entered Canaan. It felt like a lifetime ago. In many ways it was. Ishmael’s birth changed everything by giving a legitimate heir to hand this all off to.… Continue reading A REQUEST FOLLOWED BY ACTION

THE LOST ARE FOUND
“What have I done to deserve any of this? First, you take me from my home. Then you drag me to a foreign land. Now you force your husband on me. Now that I’m carrying his child you treat me even worse than before. I can’t take much more of this.” Hagar stared into Sarai’s… Continue reading THE LOST ARE FOUND
