If you read my writing you know that I am a big believer in “signs”. Almost a week ago I was discussing a movie with a good friend that she had just watched. I don’t know if she would have been compelled to go pay the big bucks at the local theatre to see this movie otherwise, but my friend [...]
Family, Faith, Friendship…and Frustration
On Tuesday morning I wrote a new post called “It’s a New Day – Again.” In that article I said, “I want to generate some thought or some conversation about topics that, in my opinion, are important…like Family, and Faith, and Friendship…” I am trying my best to focus and be POSITIVE. But this, my friends, is [...]
It’s a New Day – Again
My alarm was set to go off thirty minutes earier than usual this morning. Tuesdays are always early IF my oldest son gets up for his 6:45am Bible Study. He used to be “religious” about attending, but now he is sometimes too exhausted from sports or school work to give up that extra 30 minutes of sleep. [...]
An Easter Story :”Christian” or Follower of Jesus
Thomas Jefferson, one of our American founding Fathers and drafter of the brilliant Declaration of Independence said, “I am a real Christian. That is to say, a discipline of the doctrines of Jesus.” So what is the difference between being a “Christian” and being a follower of Jesus? I can see Jefferson, arguing passionately during the creation of [...]
It’s the End of the World…and I Feel Fine
“It’s the end of the world as we know it… it’s the end of the world as we know it… it’s the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine.” I don’t think REM was thinking about December 21, 2012 when they wrote that song… but on New Year’s Eve I [...]
Response: “Enough Already”… I Couldn’t Agree More
I knew that my latest post about Domestic Abuse and Violence was going to be controversial… People don’t want to think about other people’s issues. They don’t want to think too hard on something that they don’t understand. There are just some things that people want to ignore…should be left alone… swept under the carpet… put [...]
Tammy Atkins, You’re Not Alone…
Rodney Atkins Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges Last Thursday morning I was driving down the road, taking my kids to school, listening to a local County Music station hosted by a fellow named “Dollar Bill”. All of the above describes a typical weekday morning… but within about a three minute span of time I had [...]
Signed, Sealed, Stamped and Delivered… A Christmas Gift for You
A Christmas Message to You I should be in church this morning…but instead I am sitting at my kitchen table eating a bowl of dry cereal, munching on a few dark chocolate chips right out of the Ghiradelli bag and drinking a cup of instant expresso with a splash of peppermint flavor thrown in for good [...]
Tis the Season…”What’s Mine is Mine and What’s Your’s is Mine”
Whats Mine is Mine? I found myself driving North again last night. It is my typical every other Friday trek from Mid Alabama to East Tennessee. I had decided earlier in the week that I was just too tired to do it again. I had decided that instead of driving the 3 1/2 hours to [...]
