They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I have been absent from writing. I’d like to say I was away on some noble task, but the truth is, I just didn’t make time to do it. My reminder is set for every few days. There is no excuse. There is no reason …
Morning Coffee
Sometimes, my ratio of creamer to coffee, or coffee to water, or perhaps, all little of all three seem to be perfect! It's as if all in the world is in harmony. It is a great way to start your day. Much better the spilling your bag of coffee, stumping your toe or finding a …
Rest
Sometimes, we go and go and then go some more. We push on, strive to complete or just doggedly keep pursuing some goal that seems to stay out of reach. We can all agree, this isn’t the best way. Rest. Some have a hard time allowing rest to find a place in our lives. Rest …
Stormy Weather
We just made it through a very stormy night. We were in a level 4 risk out of 5. Watching the news this morning, we dredged the bullet on this one, with damage both South and North of us. The disciples in Jesus’ day found themselves in a storm. My pastor recently preached on this …
Lessons I Should Have Learned From My Grandfather (and Some I Did)
My childhood has many memories with my grandparents. Most Sundays, we spent the afternoon with them. Each summer, I would also spend time with them. My grandfather was a simple man. He farmed and built his own things around the house. In fact, I still have several boxes and other things he made. They aren’t …

Time Is Important
You make time for what is important to you. Plain and simple, you will find the time or make the time for what or who matters to you. Think about what it says to a child who asks you for something, when you put your phone down, turn to them and then give them 100% …
A Straight Path: Don’t Get Lost!
An old overgrown and seldom used or isolated path can invoke fear or anxiety. Maybe worse is a trail that isn’t marked well. Getting turned around on a city trail is way different than losing your way in a remote wilderness area. Life is full of winding roads, unexpected detours, and paths that seem to …
(Throwing Copper) Live: I Alone
I was listening to some older music and found “Throwing Copper“ by Live. I hadn’t really heard anything from this time in a while and got reacquainted with Live, Bush and several others from this time. Back to Throwing Copper and Live. I Alone is a song from that album and a line from it …
Who Is Terry Fox?
Terry Fox isn’t a household name. At least to me he wasn’t. Terry died in 1981, but not before he made a name for himself. The Terry Fox Run has raised over $850 million dollars for cancer research since 1980. In 1977, Terry discovered that he had a malignant tumor in his right leg and …
Weathering The Storm
Georgia is bracing for another round of bitter cold temperatures. The next few days are slated to start out in the teens and 20’s. In fact, beginning this morning through next Sunday, the beginning temps of the day will be below freezing. In many Northern states, this is nothing new and you may scoff at …
