Whatever…

     Over the last several years many things have happened that I’ve had no control over – so when the little annoyances of life would crop up I found myself saying ‘Whatever’ – sometimes with an exclamation point, sometimes this with a sigh… While it was… Continue Reading “Whatever…”

Resurrection…

     Our good friend and pastor in California recalled the following story when his oldest daughter was six… His wife couldn’t pick her up from school and had asked Larry to get her. Realizing he was running late he got over to the school… Continue Reading “Resurrection…”

On Your Mark…

     What? It’s 2015? Wait, wasn’t it just summer, just fall, just the holidays… In the whirlwind we can miss it… The uniqueness of each day gets lost in the 365 that turns into New Year… I’ve turned over the garden bed, turned over… Continue Reading “On Your Mark…”

Joy…Full, Joy…Full

     There is a song now 107 years old that starts off Joyful, Joyful we adore Thee, God of glory, God of love… With Christmas just six days away is our joy…full? Even in the absence of happiness, joy is to be our heart’s… Continue Reading “Joy…Full, Joy…Full”

Take My Breath Away…

How about an ordinary ocean wave, black bear, or geyser? Even in… Continue Reading “EXTRAordinary…”

The Anniversary…

     31 Years is a long time, a short time. Sweet are the memories – young years spent planning, child rearing years spent smiling, remaining years spent hand in hand… Last year the longest married couple in America celebrated their 81st anniversary – they… Continue Reading “The Anniversary…”

Pick Me, Pick Me…

    I volunteered to work once a week at the ‘pumpkin patch’ – to raise money for kids for camp. Pumpkin patches aren’t really something you see in south Florida – we just import the pumpkins and pretend we live where its fall. Heck, we’ll… Continue Reading “Pick Me, Pick Me…”

I Want My Mommy…

  Children tell it like it is… Like the little girl trying to keep up with her mom while she calls to her “Why can’t we go barefoot?” They were coming out the house, both in summer dresses – she didn’t understand why barefoot… Continue Reading “I Want My Mommy…”

Snakes…

Lying in wait he surprises every time… As I reached to open the mailbox, there he was coiled and waiting. He was harmless, a black racer, but to continue to reach for the mailbox door was out of the question. Backing away, I decided to check… Continue Reading “Snakes…”
