I thought about calling this post “Slippery Footing.” I think the title I chose fits better. I’ve had trouble standing lately. Not literally, just figuratively. About the time I think I know what to expect in my life the unexpected occurs. When the unexpected happens so many times a fella realizes it’s actually normal for… Continue reading Be Careful What You Stand On

2 Phone Calls
Last Tuesday I had an appointment at the VA hospital in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Those of you who know me well are wondering where this is going since I never served in any branch of the military. Those of you who don’t know me well now know that I never served in any branch of the… Continue reading 2 Phone Calls
October 2017 News from a Starving Writer
The good news is I made it through September with my bank account in good standing. The bad news is I don’t know how far into October that standing will stand. I’m in the throws of Starving Artist Syndrome…or stopped truck driver conundrum…or both. Yeah, both of um. Either way my bills are looking like… Continue reading October 2017 News from a Starving Writer
Prophet Training
Elijah’s hands were shaking as he left King Ahab. God’s voice was clear. “Go to the Brook Cherith. You will drink the water from it. Ravens will bring you food.

Not to fear, the Apainter Paul is getting some big painting jobs he needs help with. Last week we were painting an exterior in Frisco. We finished the back… Continue reading Jim passed this morning
I don’t have a word for this year, but I do have a verse
Facebook can be such a time waster most days. When I have the time to waste it’s no big deal. Okay, I admit to spending too much time perusing what folks are posting. It is a good way to keep track of what my siblings and their kids are up to. That used to be… Continue reading I don’t have a word for this year, but I do have a verse
WE’RE DOOMED
Joshua waited for his spies to return from Ai. “So, what do you think? Can we take it?” One of the men nodded. “Ai isn’t anywhere near as big as Jericho. We’ll only need two or three thousand men to wipe them out.” Joshua nodded once. “Good. That’s what I was thinking, too. Choose three… Continue reading WE’RE DOOMED
BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
Thirty one days after Moses walked to the mountains Joshua entered the Tent of Meeting and knelt down. God’s voice was clear. “Moses is dead. Prepare everybody to cross the river and take possession of the land I’m giving them. As I was with Moses I will be with you. Nobody will defeat you. Be… Continue reading BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
