Things to think about.
Her surgery went well. The tumor was benign. We had prayed for that. We had hoped for that. We even dared to expect that. But we knew it could have been otherwise, so we thank God for an answer to prayer and the result we had been hoping for. I don’t always get what I want. I don’t […]
There is a roll of insulation in my attic. It’s sitting there, packaged nice and neat, doing almost no good at all. Still rolled up tight in it’s original wrapper, it provides no insulating value. And it’s been that way for two years. When I bought it, I fully intended to take it to the
Thanksgiving at Mom & Dad’s house always has great food and exciting (usually loud) conversation. This Thanksgiving we got into an interesting conversation about creation and time. The earth is millions of years old? The earth is a few thousand years old? Genesis is literal? Genesis is allegorical? Seven days or seven eons? How long did

Flies! I hate ’em. They really know how to mess up a lunch at the park. Buzzing around, landing on my hamburger, gnawing on my fries, sipping on my straw, they drive me crazy! Where did all these flies come from anyway? I can only assume they’ve been breeding on the junk thrown in the
I was in an upscale shopping center. An out-door mall of sorts with parking in the middle and shops on each side. The parking lot was full of BMWs, Mercedes, and Lexuseseses. (I’m not sure how to pronounce, much less write the plural of “Lexus.”) I even spotted a Jaguar and a Porche. Clearly, not
