There was a bumper sticker back in the 70s and 80s declaring “God is my Co-pilot!” Maybe there are a few antique cars that still have it out there.

You know what the storm I’m talking about, Hurricane Dorian. This time I found a piece of God’s strength more powerful than the force of nature. Continue reading “Weathering the Storm”
In America the game is always on. I grew up being taught by family and media; Work or play it is all a game. You just need to know the rules and play to win. Continue reading “Christmas Game Losses”
Today my mind is on Christmas seasons that were downright awful. In my fifty-odd years I’ve seen great, good, boring, awful, and painful Christmases. There are Christmases so boring or bad I can’t remember them. Continue reading “Awful Seasons”
I have been challenged to review and think about my dreams. What were they? Am I on track? Have things changed? Where do I want to go now? Continue reading “Dream Challenge”
