Dream Squashers

Posted on by Pat Holland

Leaves don’t hold all the  fall colors I enjoy. Fat, vibrant orange pumpkins. Rusty rakes and piles of brown leaves. The smell of leaves burning and the promise of hot dogs and marshmallows when we’re done, if everyone works hard. These are precious pictures that hang in the gallery of my mind when someone mentions […]

My Most Memorable Halloween

Posted on by Pat Holland

My most memorable Halloween wasn’t about a costume or even the best treat or worst trick. It was the year I discovered a very important truth. A Halloween alternative has almost always been part of my role as a Children’s Pastor. I planned the event. Recruited workers. Purchased supplies. Organized the set up, the event […]

The Ominous Evil Eye!

Posted on by Pat Holland

    An evil eye? Are you kidding me? Those are the sweetest, most precious eyes in the world! Can’t you see the light of life in those beautiful blue eyes?   But Matthew 6 tells us about an evil eye. “But an evil eye…” now that’s an interesting way to start a verse. I […]

Chained to Fear

Posted on by Pat Holland

She sat behind the steering wheel of her car with her keys in one hand and her purse in the other. She pushed the door lock for what seemed the hundredth time and visually checked the other doors, before she leaned her head back onto the steering wheel where she sobbed. Deep sobs. Painful, fearful […]

Eye C U 2

train your children using the Bible

It’s the first game we play with our babies, “Peep Eye. I see you!” Or maybe you say “Peek-a-boo. I see you.” Same game. Their response covers the spectrum from coos to hysterical laughter.  As they grow a little older they cover their eyes and peer through their fingers. I find it fascinating that young […]

Eye C U Hagar the Horrible

the real housewives of abram

My mom’s words were a warning, “I see you!” They still echo across the canyons of time. A stern warning that made me, as a sensitive little kid, stop what I was doing and want to run hide. Sometimes I did…hide …in the cluttered closet, behind the blankets and boxes and shoes or sometimes under […]

One Pie Only Mentality- So Blessed

  My daddy made the best “Sweet Potato Pie” ever. Yes, it’s a Southern thang and no, it’s not the same as a Pumpkin Pie–it is way, way better. He only made them at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Why do we save the most delicious things for only holidays? Just saying… Sweet Potato Pie was my […]

While the contest took place a long time ago, 1970 to be exact, the winning results are still with us. Two winning words that answer the question, “What are the best two words a company can use to sell candy? A wise man named Leon Weiss (I wish my first name was Weiss, then I […]

Got the armadillo syndrome

  I must have sounded like a crazy woman. And if my neighbors had rubbed the sleep from their eyes and peered out the window, I’m sure they would be convinced their neighbor was a crazy woman. There I stood towering over  the flowerbed with a bucket in one hand and a stick in the […]

You ALWAYS Lose When You Play the Blame Game

Posted on by Pat Holland
You always loose when you play the blame game.

We learn to do it early in life. Its one of those things we don’t need a teacher or a how-to book to learn it. It comes quite natural. They call it the “Blame Game.” I’m not sure why. It’s definitely not a game, especially if you are the one the finger is pointing toward. […]
