Let the Little Children

I love my job. Really. I am privileged to work in a Christian environment with a group of wonderful people. But the best part of it is the kids. We have 17 kindergarteners. It is a delight to see their eyes light up when they get excited. They are always wanting hugs and saying they… Continue reading Let the Little Children

Six Feet Under

Often, I have heard my sister say when asked how she is doing, “Well, I’m on the top side of the flower bed!” I agree with her most days, although there are a lot of days when I know, I KNOW!, I’d be much better off in the flower bed because my soul will be… Continue reading Six Feet Under

Cakewalk

There are many euphemisms used in the English language when we speak. Many we say and never know where they actually come from or who said them first. Yesterday listening to the sermon at worship, our minister used ‘cakewalk’ which put my mind to wondering where in the world that term originated. I always thought… Continue reading Cakewalk

A Little Lighter Today!

We love to watch the TV show The Office. I suppose we’ve seen every episode many times. In one episode the character, Dwight, feels like he’s missing out on knowing what is happening in their office, so he moves the water cooler next to his desk. As people gather around it, he asks, “What’s the… Continue reading A Little Lighter Today!

If you grew up in Nashville and are at least 50 years old, you might remember a swimming hole called Cascade Plunge.… Continue reading Take the Plunge

Stranger Things

There’s a popular show out these days called Stranger Things. We began watching it once, but I don’t like scary and eerie shows. So when in one episode, the wall looked like there was a person trying to get out, I was done. There are a lot of strange things and people in this world… Continue reading Stranger Things

Scary

It is said fear is a learned behavior and can be overcome. I think most of the time we don’t remember how or why we became fearful of something. It’s the time of year we see more scary things in stores. But one thing I see all year long is a skeleton head. What is… Continue reading Scary

Wash Your Hands, Please!

There are a lot of things for which I’m thankful. So many things we take for granted everyday that we don’t even think about for which we are deep down thankful! Take toilet paper for instance. I am really thankful for toilet paper. That may sound weird, but if you stop and think about it,… Continue reading Wash Your Hands, Please!

Just Another Day

Today is my birthday. I woke up 52 years old. When we are kids, we get so excited about birthdays. I guess it’s the presents and attention we hope to receive. At what age do we start not wanting to celebrate birthdays? Maybe it’s not that we don’t want to celebrate. Maybe it’s the ‘been… Continue reading Just Another Day
