A Scatter-shot Blog Post From a Scatter-brained Life
I don’t know about y’all, but 2016 has begun in a whirlwind for me. That’s what I get for being stuck between multiple careers at once. Driving and/or painting goes from 5-6 day a week to 2-3 days the next and back again. Somehow the bills are getting paid. The manna is just enough as… Continue reading A Scatter-shot Blog Post From a Scatter-brained Life
A Judgement Followed by an Action
Noah walked out of his tent to get some fresh air. His steps never felt heavier. He stepped on his shadow to the river. He steadied himself against a tree. When his knees hit the ground he looked up. “You know I never wanted children, God. This world is no place to raise a family.… Continue reading A Judgement Followed by an Action
Have You Lost Any Fridged Digits This Winter Yet?
Fridged Digits…it must be a term I made up while I survived too many Michigan winters growing up. Spell check doesn’t have the word fridged in its records. It’s apparently not from Michigan. I lost track of the number of times I had tears in my eyes while I ran water over my hands to… Continue reading Have You Lost Any Fridged Digits This Winter Yet?
A Warning Followed by Consequences
Cain looked at his brother with contempt. Abel’s bloody hands were raised in worship. Cain lifted a melon over his head. “This is from my field. I till the soil. It’s all I have.

Road rage set to a classic Christmas carol: Honk, your semi’s in my lane.
I was pretty sure my days driving in heavy traffic had settled me into a place of complacency. So, as a test, I decided to set up my camcorder to check on myself. When I broke into song I thought that was a good sign, until I heard the words. Please pray for me as… Continue reading Road rage set to a classic Christmas carol: Honk, your semi’s in my lane.
The fields are white for harvest, y’all!
On a recent west Texas delivery route I experienced two incredible things. One of them I hadn’t seen in quite a while. The other one I had seen, but not at such high temperatures. What can I say? I had too many long miles in the truck that day. The times are short for us… Continue reading The fields are white for harvest, y’all!
