Elkanah sat at the table after serving everybody. He looked at his favorite wife. “Hannah, why aren’t you eating? I’ve given you twice as much as anyone else. Don’t let the food go to waste.” Peninnah snickered. “I don’t know why you throw the food to a dog like that. She’s only eating for one.… Continue reading A DEDICATION REQUEST

Dumb They Called Me
It’s time for my annual spoof of a classic Christmas song. This year The Little Drummer Boy gets a make over. Don’t expect much humor this go-round. A spiritual contrast is more the order of business this year. Feel free to share this with anyone you think will benefit from the message conveyed here. I… Continue reading Dumb They Called Me
A PLEA AND A PROBE
Isaac walked to his rock overlooking the valley he called home. He didn’t come to try to count the herds of sheep or goats. The cattle were of no interest today, neither. Instead of sitting on the rock to study his surroundings he fell to his knees and placed his forehead against the stone. His… Continue reading A PLEA AND A PROBE
Modern Technology Sure Adds to My Confusion
There are times I long for the good old days. Not because they were necessarily good. Nor because I was old then. Neither because they only lasted a day. Simply because things were simpler then.

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!
I am now a magicmatician!
I have video proof that I just added a new title to my resume of life skills. I’m officially a magicmatician. Don’t believe me? Watch for yourself and see if I’m wrong. You’ll also see how sugar is like the Holy Spirit. Taste and see for yourself. Keep smiling. Wade
My observations of the 2015 Maranatha Christian Writers’ Conference
Somebody told me before I came to Maranatha that this was considered the best small conference for Christian writers. I confirm that recommendation. One of the best things about attending conferences is meeting people. Running into old writing friends is always a joy. Gail Gaymer Martin insisted she get a picture of the two of… Continue reading My observations of the 2015 Maranatha Christian Writers’ Conference
