No Idea Moses had no idea that God was on a mission when he encountered the burning bush on the backside of the desert. God’s purpose was two fold. He wanted to deliver His people out and in: Out of the fiery furnace of slavery (Deuteronomy 4:20) and into His presence. Again and again […]
“Make me beautiful!” she announced as she plopped into the black vinyl, revolving chair at the upscale salon. Smiling, a glimmer of hope flashed in her tired eyes, as she shoved a picture ripped from a magazine into the stylist hand. “I want to look like this!” The stylist began to work her magic. An aromatic […]
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 […]
I’m always surprised by how cold mountain streams can be …especially in July. I’m always surprised and delighted because July can be really hot even in the mountains. Our oldest grand-daughter, Karyn was with us. Coontree Picnic Area was an unscheduled stop for us.
Clay toddled away from his dad’s reach as he chased the wagging, furry tail of the neighbor’s golden retriever. But Clay’s curiosity dissipated into fright when the friendly dog greeted Clay with affectionate licks. As Clay backed away the dog nuzzled closer to be petted. Clay turned and ran crying to his daddy. He buried his […]
I discovered the most amazing bargain on flowering plants. They were such a great price that I filled the back of the truck with Knock-Out roses, Marigolds, Geraniums, Petunias. Even Dahlias and delicate Touch Me Nots were piled and tucked around tools and wood, things that WERE on our list to bring home. I didn’t really […]
He Sets a Table For Me Those words alone are enough to grab my attention. I love, love beautiful table settings. On numerous occasions I have stood on the back porch and envisioned turning the old stump at the edge of the clearing into a table. I can see a wooden table top for the […]
If spring is a date on a calendar, spring has arrived… but it is obvious that the weather hasn’t checked the calendar lately! At least where I am right now. The trees don’t even have a fringe of color… they are still stark naked…pronounced “neck-edd” in southernnese. But this southerner isn’t in the South and its […]
Don’t cut it down in winter. I know every naked tree looks dead… Especially when standing beside Evergreens wearing emerald overcoats. Even worse are the naked trees amongst those wearing fiery red or pumpkin orange ponchos that flap in the wind. But if your only indication that the tree might be dead is the […]
There once was a woman who swallowed a fly. The nursery rhyme asks… “perhaps she will die.” And everyone gasps, “Oh my! Why?” But when I say, “There once was a woman who swallowed a lie.” No one gasps or even asks. A lie is harmless our actions imply. Besides, “Why should I pry?” […]
Work My stacks are calling me. My cluttered closet is screaming, so I shut the door and look in the other direction. We want to totally finish the cabin. Wayne’s here to work and I’m here to hear. Study. Pray. Get ready for upcoming meetings. But the wood pile screams about picture frames and rustic […]
