Like many people around the world I get caught up in looking forward to what a New Year will bring, hopeful it will only be good and no stress. There’s a word peculiar to those who call themselves followers of Christ – testimony. Did I… Continue Reading “Soul Stamped…”

Thunder rumbles loud. Barely noticed by those beneath the grey sky. Our noisy world hardly hears a siren, an explosion, a cry for help. Hearing only what is important at the moment. The phone call, the broken printer, the angry client. But thunder rumbles for a reason, song… Continue Reading “All Things…”

It’s been a long, hot summer – and not just here, and not just the weather. Here the usual relief of afternoon downpours often haven’t happened. Then there’s the flooding in Louisiana – and we count our blessing of not too much. There’s the… Continue Reading “Have It All…”

It happened again. Most people don’t realize it takes two years (at least) from the time a pineapple top is planted till it flowers and grows a pineapple. I’ve grown a few, then last year a thief gnawed one clean off the stem and… Continue Reading “Pineapple Bandits…”

When my daughter was little and had something really important to tell me she would climb up beside me, move my hair, and whisper her news. Whisper moments were precious and I listened carefully. I’ve noticed in a crowd it’s not the noisy conversations… Continue Reading “Whispers Are Louder…”
