Today marks my parent’s 49th wedding anniversary. My parents were little more than children when they met in the fall of 1960. A new school year had begun and the days were growing short.

My oldest son and I sit, flipping through magazines, in the eye doctor’s office waiting for our appointment. “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” plays on the radio. An older gentleman–once vibrant now on decline–waits. Confusion cloud’s his mind–making him angry. He is going from the light to darkness–dementia. It could be any of us…someday … Continue reading

Old Man Winter has returned to my part of the world. His chill breath blows cold, dropping temperatures to single digits and below. Ground frozen stiff is dressed in a suit of white, tailor-made in heaven. Drifts, smooth and white–glittering like diamonds–fringe snow covered roads and fence enclosed fields. Long translucent icicles hold tight like … Continue reading

I’m a planner by nature and I’ve often quoted this verse, however, as we start a new year and begin making our plans I believe it’s prudent that I add a caution. All these plans (goals) that we enthusiastly begin to schedule will quickly … Continue reading

Our culture seems to be obsessed with how someone looks. The more handsome, beautiful, youthful you appear the better. I’m not talking about being healthy, combing your hair, brushing your teeth, and presenting your best self. I’m talking more along the lines of self-worship…vanity. I was watching a show on television last evening where two … Continue reading
