The Greatest Title that I was Not Prepared For
There is no question that the greatest title I have been assigned outside of son of the Most High God and husband to your mom is that of ‘dad.’ I desired for my Southern kids to call me ‘daddy,’ but quickly realized that my personality and temperament lend more to the ‘dad’ acknowledgement. And I…

Trust the Fog
It will clear and the vision will be beautifully revealed. “”Please sir, the weight is too great for my branches to hold. Please put some braces under them to help support my fruit as it grows to maturity.” The apple tree said to me as I looked at the broken branch dangling from its trunk.”…

What I love about grapefruit.
My daughters and I love grapefruit. We like the large ones with pink centers. We love the citrusy taste offset by the sweetness of a little sugar (Stevia for me the diabetic). We love them cold from the refrigerator. The exhilaration of the sensory blend of smell, taste and temperature delivers something very satisfying…and they’re…
