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’

Under My Feet
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
With These Words
I’ve heard that it comes in threes. Death. So, I always wait to see who will be next. A family member? A friend? Who? This past week it was four. Four people I knew; some better than others. Death. The Bible says we will all face it. But there’s hope. So let me encourage you… Continue reading With These Words
To the Table
Being at private schools as a student and as a teacher, I have noticed how many songs we sing in chapel that can have difficult meanings. I’m not sure the kids know what all the words mean. One such song I can remember singing is called “His Banner Over us is Love.” Like most kids,… Continue reading To the Table
Promised Land
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
Hold Me
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

Drop It!
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!
Alarm!
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!
Getting There
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
