He majors in miracles!

Is that really what I saw? So many times we see things others don’t or vice versa. Some may look at the same object or scene and see entirely different images or circumstances. Art, especially abstract, can create all forms of visual thoughts to many different observers. What I see may make no sense to […]

Pot luck or faith

Find a penny pick it up… What does luck have to do with anything? There must be something to it since so many people wish you good luck, call you a lucky duck, aren’t you a lucky one and you seem to have the luck of the Irish. May luck be on your side. People […]

Blessing upon blessing

Blessings For a man who has two daughters, five grandchildren and recently a great granddaughter, this Proverb resonates with me. Grandfathers were originally referred to as old men.

Write Them Deep Within Your Hearts

Technology vs. Paper Technological advances are impressive and surprising to me. From time to time, I stop to see the new cell phones, new computers and new tablets. But that’s it, no more than just admiration and amazement. I am one of those living beings who still insists on reading the printed book or taking […]

Friend a Father!

Friendship Recently, as I left a coffee meeting with my friend, Kevin, I thought of how grateful I am to have such a friendship, and how randomly it began. Five years ago a mutual friend in North Carolina called and told me his friend (Kevin) was moving to my neck of the woods, and asked […]
