Whose Woods These Are

I suppose this post is a bit silly, but sometimes I can’t help myself.  Anyway, as I thought about it on the way to work this morning, I couldn’t help but sing the Michael Frye song:  Jesus, Be the Center.   With apologies to Robert Frost . . . Whose woods these are I think […]

Now That’s a First!

If you have ever spent much time in an airport, you know that just sitting and watching the people can be one of the best ways to pass the time.  The airport is full of all kinds of people, coming and going.  It’s the perfect spot to sit and watch the world waltz by.

The Hostess

The Thai Cuisine restaurant was a great place to eat.  I discovered it years ago right after it opened.   They had good food at a good price so I went often.   I told others about it.   After a few months, the place got busier and it became harder to get a table.  They had a thriving lunch-time

My dog has devotions with me almost every morning.  I wake up and drag myself down the hall to the living room where I sit in a chair.  In that chair, I read my bible and talk to God.  Most mornings, before I even get there, my devoted dog has already made her way to

A Mile or Two

A Christian co-worker had a wreck.  Somebody hit her from behind.  The guy that hit her pleaded for her to let him fix it without turning it into the insurance.  He had his own shop, he said.  He could fix it, he said.  She agreed, and left her car by the road.  He would send

Tired, Overwhelmed, and Grateful

Tired. The end of a long day at the end of a long week. Overwhelmed. Always more to do than there is time to do it. Grateful. He doesn’t want better performance, just better fellowship.

Lady Liberty

I saw Lady Liberty smoking a cigarette while standing by the road.  It wasn’t exactly the Statue of Liberty.  It was more like a grizzly dude in a costume that was a really bad caricature of the Statue of Liberty.  I think he was supposed to be catching my attention and pointing me in the direction of a

The Battle I Never Fought

I have to post a short update on the hornets nest story . . . Today, the hornets’ nest fell out of the tree.  It was empty.
