Here it is…the day you’ve waited four years for. February 29th–that extra day that keeps us up to date with the orbit of the earth around the sun. That means you have an extra day to get caught up on those items you’ve been putting off, like going to the gym (remember that resolution?). I… Continue reading Happy Leap Day Y’all!

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
Happy New Year Y’all…um Y’all reading this in China that is.
Don’t you just love how small the world has become with the internet? I know I do. Who knew there were two new years in the world? Now you do. The big question becomes: How are you going to take advantage of it? For those of you who didn’t make any resolutions now you still… Continue reading Happy New Year Y’all…um Y’all reading this in China that is.
A Covenant From God
A few days after Abram won the battle to get his nephew Lot back home he dozed in his tent. God appeared to him in a dream. “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I will protect and reward you.” Abram’s deepest emotion surfaced in his dream. “Lord, I’m still without a direct heir. A boy born to… Continue reading A Covenant From God
A Promise Followed by Waiting
“Do you think we’ll ever get to Canaan, Uncle Abram?” Lot looked from the full moon to Abram. “I have a feeling your grandfather has found his place here, Lot. Why else would he name it after your father?” “It’s as good a place as any, I suppose.” Lot walked back to his tent. Abram… Continue reading A Promise Followed by Waiting
Have You Lost Any Fridged Digits This Winter Yet?
Fridged Digits…it must be a term I made up while I survived too many Michigan winters growing up. Spell check doesn’t have the word fridged in its records. It’s apparently not from Michigan. I lost track of the number of times I had tears in my eyes while I ran water over my hands to… Continue reading Have You Lost Any Fridged Digits This Winter Yet?
A Warning Followed by Consequences
Cain looked at his brother with contempt. Abel’s bloody hands were raised in worship. Cain lifted a melon over his head. “This is from my field. I till the soil. It’s all I have. Why isn’t it enough?” God’s voice was clear. “He gave the first and best to me.” The melon was hurled to… Continue reading A Warning Followed by Consequences
Happy 1/11 Day Y’all!
Yep, it’s one of those wacky day posts I haven’t done in a while. “1/11” isn’t an actual special day from what I can tell. I just like the fact that there are three ones in the date. Sounds wacky enough for me. Let’s see where it takes us. The official day for this date… Continue reading Happy 1/11 Day Y’all!
