I’m Going to Prison…YIKES!
As a Christian you do your best to stay out of trouble. But you also want to do all you can to please God. Sometimes doing the right thing can land you in jail for the right reasons. I guess this all started over a year ago when Marcia said she might want to buy… Continue reading I’m Going to Prison…YIKES!
I’m a Wanted Man
Some days there just isn’t enough of me to go around. Being rather small in stature that shouldn’t surprise those who know me well. Last week was one of those times everybody wanted a piece of me…or all of me if they could. The Apainter Paul won a bid to paint the interior of a… Continue reading I’m a Wanted Man
A Mid-month Newsletter-ish Post
For the record I just completed two consecutive uneventful weeks. No, boredom hasn’t set in yet. I think it may occur about August 15th after the way the first month and a half were to me.

As I was seeing my rear view of the past twelve months slip away… Continue reading The Last Week of 2017 was Interesting
Called to Fail
Where am I? Who is that sitting on a throne? His robe is incredible. It’s filling every part of the floor. Those beings over the throne…who are they? Why do they have wings…six wings on each one? They’re using two to fly with, but why are they covering their face and feet? The seraphim spoke… Continue reading Called to Fail
Thank You Father
Gratitude, gratefulness, thanksgiving…all themes with the same goal. Appreciation for what we have over desires for what we want. Sounds good, so why is so hard to keep it in practice? Just some thoughts to ponder during this holiday week. I’m sharing another poem I wrote a couple of years ago for Thanksgiving. It doubles… Continue reading Thank You Father
The Fruit of the Spirit Prayer
Today I’m sharing with you the compilation prayer that ends the chapter of the Fruit of the Spirit from my book 100 Prayers of a Writer. I’m very pleased how well this prayer came together.

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
