God Don’t Make No Junk!
You are fearfully and marvelously made. How can I tell you that? Well, the Bible tells us that in Psalms. We’re also told that God has uniquely made each of us and knows us by name. The unique comment being proven by science through the recognition of DNA, that is unique to each of us. …

Another Day
I’ve always been an early riser. And that does not mean that I don’t sleep in. I often get up between 3:30 am and 4:00 am and read. Pray. Drink coffee. Ponder. Write. Years ago I read a life impacting statement addressed to people like me who ‘are not good sleepers.’ What does that mean? …

Let it Rain
I love when it rains. I love the sound of the rain as it lands on the leaves in the woods that surround our house. I love that rain often changes plans for the day. I love to walk in the rain and smell the new freshness of land washed clean. I awoke last night…
