Young twins were buckled in the back seat of their dad’s car. “Where are we going, Daddy?” came a little voice from the back seat.

They were on skateboards… little guys…two of them one was maybe 8 and the other looked to be about 6 years old. It looked like they were mostly talking… but it was where they choose to have their conversation that annoyed me… They were jawing right in the middle of the road. I was in […]
Clay toddled away from his dad’s reach as he chased the wagging, furry tail of the neighbor’s golden retriever.

He had frightened a turkey hen with her chicks that were feeding on the hillside. Motionless, he watched the chicks scurry under their mama’s wings. […]
Prayer Training Keira always offers the same foot first when I offer to help her get her shoes on, as she goes out the door. I haven’t learned her habit so I always offer the wrong shoe. It’s a habit that her mom started very young, left foot first, then the right foot. The routine makes […]
And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 NAS It is only mentioned in Luke. And Luke doesn’t comment. He simply states the fact…no room. Nothing more. I want more information. How many […]
