The Ride (a comedy of errors)
I didn't notice until it was too late. It happened last year. My son and I had flown to Alabama to visit family (after my father had a mild heart attack), and he and I needed a ride to the Birmingham airport. From Birmingham, we would fly to Atlanta, and change planes...
More Than…
What I give: Enough. What He gives? More than. When I'm fed up, I say, "I've had enough!" What He says? "I AM." What I offer? Just. What He offers me? More than. It's always this, Him giving more than, Him being more than. The equation-- it doesn't balance. No matter...
Morning-Bird or Night-Owl, and #857-870
I think if God didn't design it so that we'd have to sleep... I might not. What I mean is, I have days when I'd like to keep writing, or working on a project-- or whatever I'm doing, and I'd rather not stop because it is late and I need to sleep. I'd just like to keep...
Canoes in the Yard
"A ship in a harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." The source for the above quote is a bit unclear-- several online searches attribute the quote to several different individuals-- thus I can't quite say for certain who said it. Yet, the intention...

Strawberry Pickins and Weeds (and #822–830)
The day is ripe with promise. On Friday, we find ourselves free most of the day, and the kids request to go strawberry picking. I acquiesce. It is there in the fields with the low green plants, dotted with sweet red fruit, under a friendly sun, a vast blue sky, and a...
Out of “Grandma Mode”, and #814-821
I handled the camera with a bit of fear at first. I didn't even know how to take off the lens cap. After all, I use a small point and shoot, not a DSLR. I was afraid I'd push the wrong button and mess something up. Despite not owning a DSLR beauty, I still have been...
