Beautiful chance

Yesterday I was driving home from a Father’s Day celebration at my parents house, and I had about an hour as I drove to watch the fantastic evening sky. The sun was setting and the clouds were painted in a beautiful palette of colors. It occurred to me that we need to take more time […]

Hanging on

I love cats! “They taste just like chicken.” Ha ha. You’ve heard that joke too often, no doubt. But seriously, growing up – we had a cat in our household for a time. We loved that fur ball. My brothers and I, still being barely past puberty, would find the most impossible crevices and death-defying […]

A Loyal Friend

Let’s be honest – loyalty isn’t exactly considered to be the unpardonable sin in 21st century America. It would seem that people value and promote occasional calculated acts of disloyalty as needed for, say… a job promotion, a romantic interest, getting an “in” with a higher social group – even in the church community.

In or Out?
