Except when it comes to foreign films, I have never been a fan of subtitles. It always seems like so much more work to have to read and watch at the same time and to also ignore the spoken words in a language I do not understand. And then came Ice, our younger dog who, being young […]Read Post ›
Good morning, Lord Lord, you have investigated me, and you know. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You understand my thoughts from far off. You keep track of when I travel and when I stay, and you are familiar with all my ways. Before there is a word on my […]Read Post ›
I realize this is a little into Lent – well, over half way into the season. However, I have my reasons for putting it off so long as you will find out as we go along. So, I will just jump into this. Lent is a time– when a smaller group each year, I am guessing– […]Read Post ›
Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry. Disaster follows disaster; the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter in a moment. How long […]Read Post ›

I like to think I drive attentively and am aware of whatever is going on around tme. And yet, when I came to a stoplight and the license plate ahead of me read “ILMYW7K”, I was a bit distracted.

It’s Father’s Day! Every year as this day rolls around I stand in wonder. I am in wonder because I cannot understand what my heavenly Father was thinking when he decided to bless me with such wonderful children. He knew of all my shortcomings and sinfulness and still blessed me with the responsibility of being their father. […]Read Post ›
