West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan
When a writer has several hours behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler there’s too much time and not enough to think about.

Spiritual journeys don’t need a lot of geographic space

Yep, you guessed it. I’m dried up on ideas to write about so I dipped into the Zany holiday grab bag and came up with a winner. Take Your Pants for a Walk Day should be very self-explanatory, but I know too many folks will come up with excuses not to take their pants anywhere… Continue reading Happy Take Your Pants for a Walk Day!!!
THE DELAY
As a group of six women with babies approached Matthew he glanced back at Jesus. Jesus was smiling at a man holding his mat. “Go. Your faith has made you well.” He looked past Matthew and smiled at the women. Matthew stepped aside and escorted the ladies to the Rabbi. Jesus held each of the… Continue reading THE DELAY
I can add a new title to my professional resume. I R a painter.
The financial road God has me on has taken yet another unexpected turn in my life. He’s had me on a strict manna diet the past few months. That means I have just enough income to cover my bills each month. I’ve had some spending money for a few added items, but very few. In… Continue reading I can add a new title to my professional resume. I R a painter.
