As a young driver, sometime my friends and I would drive rather carelessly, as teenagers tend to do. It’s a wonder we’re all alive. We called it weavin’ and bobbin’ as we tried to get around slower cars. One of the roads I take to work is getting ready to be paved. It has been… Continue reading Weavin’ and Bobbin’

When I was a kid, my mom accidentally ran over my foot with the car. On two separate occasions! As the driver, my mom had listened for all the car doors to shut, but she didn’t know I was still getting in the car. I remember it felt as if someone had stepped on my… Continue reading Under My Feet

Some people in the church today complain about the song service at their congregation. Some like the older songs, while others prefer newer ones. Hopefully, most of the song leaders at congregations do a good job of intertwining the old hymns with the newer ones as we sing praises to our God and uplift each… Continue reading Promised Land

Growing up as kids, any time we got hurt, we would run to our moms or dads because we knew they’d offer the comfort and help we needed. We also knew they would hold on to us. Now as adults when I have issues, I want to talk to with others, and rightly so. But… Continue reading Hold Me

Today, I was blessed to go to a vintage marketplace with my two sisters. We had a blast looking for unique things in each booth, laughing and just spending time together. We came across one booth filled with blocks of wood with different words or Bible verses. Sometimes there were just words with a Bible… Continue reading Drop It!

It has been said, “If you have to ask if you can do or wear something, then you probably shouldn’t.” When I was working at schools, fire / smoke alarms always had to be tested, just like we should at home. We were warned and tried to prepare the students for the loud sound. They… Continue reading Alarm!

Do you pray for patience? For yourself? For others? I learned a long time ago not to pray for patience. I prayed for it once and had to wait two years for what I had asked God to bring me. He has a way of teaching us patience! This past Monday I started a new… Continue reading Getting There

Often times after we experience the death of a loved one, it seems as if time has stopped. We see everyone living their daily lives moving from even to event, but we are stuck in a time warp. We are stuck on May 25th or September 9th or whatever day is ingrained in our brains… Continue reading I Remember

One of the things I really love is gummy bears, soft and fresh that almost melt in your mouth. Ahh! But…I don’t eat them very often. They aren’t good for me because they have too much sugar. Often sin is like that. Something that feels good, looks good, comforts us but is clearly wrong for… Continue reading The Gummies

Technology these days is amazing in some ways. Take for instance eye glasses. Have you ever seen someone wearing glasses who goes outside and their glasses become darker like sunglasses? Amazing! The lenses go from clear to dark almost immediately and are called Transitions. I am in a transition right now. Perhaps we all are… Continue reading Transitions
