Last night we were with some Christian friends in our small group Bible study. During our dinner conversation one woman mentioned a book she’s written in response to the trauma in her own life. All of us have bad things that happen to us by either our consequences or just because this life is hard.… Continue reading The Terrible Awful

You Serious, Clark !?
They’re coming! The holidays. The times when we travel to be with those we love who supposedly love us. Times when we may feel joy, laugh with each other, and eat until we are stuffed like the turkey on the table. But for many people it isn’t a time of joy. For many it is… Continue reading You Serious, Clark !?
A Thousand Words
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But sometimes all you can do is stare at it.
Slummin’ It
It’s hard to watch the daily news. It is all negative, even the weather. So many murders and people hurting. A lot of crime and murders reported happen in ‘the projects.’ Of course that isn’t what the news calls it, but it’s what I grew up hearing those certain areas of town called. It’s places… Continue reading Slummin’ It
Take the Plunge
Isn’t it funny what we remember as adults from our childhoods? Sometimes there are bits and pieces of memories, and other times there are full blown detailed ones. This is one of mine. 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
Missing Out
My 3 siblings are quite a bit older than I am, so when I was a kid, I played mostly by myself. Occasionally, we had cousins or other friends over, but most of the time it was just me. Back then, of course, playing outside was just about all we had to do. No TV… Continue reading Missing Out
Young and Dumb
As kids we take so many things for granted. No matter what any adult says about time passing quickly, we still aren’t paying attention. We sometimes go about selfishly living with no regard to others, our parents, money, and often even God. But one thing I really took for granted was my Daddy being around.… Continue reading Young and Dumb
Angels
Do you believe in guardian angels? Do you think there a specific one for you sent to protect you from harm as much as possible? One who is fighting for you? Have you ever had a ‘close call’ that looking back you could see? Maybe you even thought or said your guardian angel was watching… Continue reading Angels
Mr. President…
Have you ever thought about what you’d say if the President came to your house or you were invited to the White House? I have. I was reminded of it this morning as I read my daily reading in Daniel. In chapter 9 Daniel prays a long prayer. I think it applies to America today.… Continue reading Mr. President…
The Trotters
Eight years ago I worked at a pumpkin farm for the month of October. I loved it! I helped give tours to schools who brought their classes. We guides took them around the farm, introducing them to many things. One of them was the piglets. There were about 5 of them, and they were so… Continue reading The Trotters
