I Saw Jesus Today

After my encounter with a homeless man in January, which you can read about here, I began to think about ways Jesus shows up in everyday life.

And Yet Another Crazy Week Was Endured

I kept reminding myself I moved to Texas to get away from winter weather. It still finds me ocassionally just the same. I went to work Tuesday expecting to drive to Shreveport.

Man Overboard

“Tarshish? Yeah, we’re going to Tarshish. What you need us to take there for ya?” “Just me.” Jonah watched the crew loading crates below deck. The captain looked at Jonah’s small pack. “You sure do travel light. You have family in Tarshish?” Jonah shook his head. “No. Just been hankering to visit that fine city.… Continue reading Man Overboard
