Doggin’ Sin
The Boys treed a squirrel the other day. When I got home from work they were barking and dancing around the large cottonwood tree just off the patio. Two of the smaller limbs hung against the trunk, the obvious result of the bigger boy trying to get to the furry rodent.
By the way, “The Boys” [...]
Dependence Day
Yesterday we celebrated Independence Day for the United States of America. July 4th commemorates that day in 1776 when, as a people, we declared our independence from Great Britain. Our forefathers declared the right to “dissolve the political bands which have connected them” to Britain and claimed the right “to assume among the powers of [...]
Where’s the meat?
Yesterday I had lunch with a friend at a local hot spot. The place was packed and ladies were waiting for tables. This trendy café boasts acid-washed concrete floors and industrial lighting. The menu offers soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and hunks of desserts that are as big as hubcaps.
I ordered a “Turkey-Avocado wrap with spinach, [...]

Kill the oxen
When I was in seminary I met many people who had left everything behind to answer God’s call to ministry. One very successful, middle-aged businessman closed his business and never looked back. Others sold homes, quit jobs, and moved far away from family.
I thought about my fellow students this morning during my daily Bible reading. [...]
Clueless
Have you ever been wronged by someone who had no idea she had done anything? It may have been hurtful words or inconsiderate actions. But she was completely clueless. It’s happened to me. And I know without a doubt that I’ve done it to others as well.
I read a Psalm recently during my quiet time [...]
Exercise, I-Phones, and Jesus
What do an elliptical machine, an I-Phone App, and my relationship with Jesus have in common? They all require commitment, discipline, and determination. But more on that in a minute.
Tuesday I cancelled my gym membership. Not because I’ve given up exercising but because on Monday my husband bought an elliptical trainer. Since we already had [...]
I love them, I love them not
My husband and I have been sitting in the hospital all week. Wayne’s dad had a triple bypass and a heart valve replacement on Tuesday. Pappaw is still in ICU today but progressing.
We’ve seen a lot of nurses over the last four days. You can tell by watching which ones like their jobs and which [...]
The Bible and a Magic 8-Ball
I had a Magic 8 Ball when I was a girl. I often asked it for direction on vitally important matters.
Me: Should I tell Bobby I like him?
8-Ball: My sources say no
Me: Should I wear my purple, denim hip huggers to school today?
8-Ball: It is decidedly so
Me: Should I have a burger for lunch?
8-Ball: Concentrate [...]
Are you thirsty?
What do we drink when we’re really thirsty? Soda, milk, ice tea? We might reach for these things when our throats are a little scratchy, our mouths are dry, or when we just want something to drink. But when our bodies are dehydrated, when we need fluids, most of us instinctively reach for water. We [...]
