To categorize the past seven days as “normal” would be the farthest thing from the truth in describing the events of the week.

A package arrived for me last week.

Seeing the parcel near our front door, I honestly had to ask myself “Did I order something online?”

I did not recall doing so.

There are times when we all need a proverbial, if not a literal, kick in the pants to remind us of something we know to be true despite the voices in us and around us screaming to the contrary.

Sometimes the weirdest things seep through the stratosphere called “my world” and flow into my brain cells, often at a most unsuspecting time.

Such an instant occurred yesterday on my drive home from work.

The air is cool outside, escorted by stiff breeze.

It is a subtle reminder of what has been and what is to come. Out with the old and in with the new.

Life is brief.

We are told it is like a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow.

For a brief moment or two assume the world in which we live contains only you and I, both card carrying members of the species labeled, “male”.

Before we leave the starting gate we realize our universe is already lacking color without the species labeled, “female”.

However, we decide to go with the flow!

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.  But they delight in the law of the lord, meditating on it day and night.  They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.   Their lives never wither […]

Have you ever felt like your work day was a re-run of some old TV show you have seen dozens of times and really did not care to watch?

For whatever reason, mine started out that way until…

In each of our lives there are moments which we remember and appear to be frozen in time.

They are moments which are idyllic and picturesque as the peaceful waters of a serene shoreline.

Although we cannot summon to the present times gone by we can, via our memories, reflect on precious memories.
