For the joy?
Turns out, no matter how hard we try, we are like toddlers who think they are the center of the universe. Every time we answer in exasperation, make rude comments in the privacy of our car about the other driver, and when we would… Continue Reading “For the joy?”
Why the Celebration?

Easter brings visions of colored eggs, bunnies, chicks, spring, etc. Truly, what does any… Continue Reading “Why the Celebration?”
Comparison…
Things aren’t always what they seem. Today south Florida is holding a collective breath wondering what the hurricane passing by tonight will be like. But to look out the window right now – sunshine, breeze – you’d never know heavy rain and big wind… Continue Reading “Comparison…”
