Kick Me When I’m Down?

Zechariah 3 I must be a very lousy person who has nothing good in life by which to identify myself with. If I start thinking of some worthwhile things that I've accomplished, then a thought arises to humiliate and excruciate me. I'm reminded of how I've failed miserably in my interactions with others, and I … Continue reading Kick Me When I’m Down? →

A Party Pooper?

John 7 There are some people I just prefer not to be around, but circumstances require that we intermingle from time to time. During this time, I know I will need to put on kindness, be slow to speak, and to keep a polite emotional distance. Once, the head custodian told me that a Christmas … Continue reading A Party Pooper? →

Caged and then Adopted

I adopted a cat a few years ago from an animal shelter. The shelter had pens where they were keeping animals caged. I know that the animals had to be hating their captivity. I saw the cat that I wanted, picked up the adoption papers at the desk and home we went. The cat I … Continue reading Caged and then Adopted →

What’s that Voice I’m Hearing?

1 Samuel 3 The people I run across are hearing something and even suggest that I be more attentive to that same hearing phenomenon.

The Light of the Lamb

I make a constant effort to maintain peacefulness, meekness, and gentleness in my tone of voice and actions.

If I did, I really believe that I would be the one hauled off in a "padded wagon" … Continue reading The Light of the Lamb →

Children are Brainy

Aren't children something these days? They know everything and are so cute about putting adults in their place, me anyway. They keep me without words and without any response. They leave me thinking, "where did that come from?" They are so unnaturally knowledgeable, and their behavior is so unmanageable, be it for the good or … Continue reading Children are Brainy →

Should I Rejoice and Mourn?

I know I should rejoice with those who rejoice and to mourn with those who mourn. With sincere people that is a really sympathetic thing to do. I do it all the time, when something good happens to somebody I smile and congratulate them, and when they are facing something difficult, I offer my condolences. … Continue reading Should I Rejoice and Mourn? →

Mask Mandate, Chip Mandate

I was looking at my "stats" to see how many different countries I could see and there are a lot from all around the world. From what I read in news articles and other news broadcasts there are many forms of governments.

Harley Davidson and Jeremiah

I owned a Harley Davidson motorcycle and attended the local motorcycle rodeo two years in a row. I was definitely breaking some unplowed ground. I was welcomed warmly, and a topless woman sat next to me, accompanied by her man, of course. They showed me around all the hottest spots and showed me where the … Continue reading Harley Davidson and Jeremiah →

Tormented With Pain

Luke 16:22-26 I don't know how many more health care appointments I can survive. At the age of sixteen, I broke my arm and it ended up being 6 hours and three hospitals later before a cast was put on and pain medication prescribed. Sometime later, I went to a low-income dental clinic to have … Continue reading Tormented With Pain →
