Are We There Yet?

Hello World!

Hello world. I’m glad you’re here. I hope that here you’ll find a place where you can grab a cup of coffee, or tea, or hot chocolate and sit down for a minute or two. I hope you’ll find the kind of place where friends can gather for conversation and catching up, a place where…
Seeing

As we begin a new year, I cannot think of a better book to start with. The story of Theo has renewed my confidence that there is hope for us yet.
Take Care

“What have you done with my wife?” Kent’s looking at me in amazement, completely perplexed by my behavior. Tonight, I’m way out of my lane. I’ve made a decision to take care of myself.
His Name

People use his name to curse, bless, vent when things go wrong. They use his words to pick and choose what they want to believe, or prove, or discard. Some devote themselves to showing contradictions in his teachings, his words, his life. But all of them know his name.
We all have stories

We all have stories. We all have a myriad of facets, little pockets and rabbit trails in our lives and in our pasts.
What if?

Do you, like me, sometimes feel like you’re hanging onto the end of the rope wondering if your hope, your dream, is worth it? Do you wonder if He even hears your prayers? Are there things in your life that need a miracle? What if?
The Wardrobe

We could use a bit of enchantment in the awfulness of this world. We could use more good stories. C. S. Lewis believed that good stories encourage us to make the real world a little bit enchanted. Seeing The Wardrobe for the first time helped me believe it too.
Good Boy

The first time I saw him, I thought he was the skinniest living dog I’d ever seen. His Snoopy nose can pick up the slightest scent. On a walk he always wants to check all the messages and leave a reply. He’s a good boy.
American Idols

Nothing wrong with pursuing our dreams. Nothing wrong with fame, money, and recognition. But idols? When you go there, the waters get a little muddy. Depending on your POV, point of view, things can get skewed.
Time Zone Challenged

After traveling eighteen hours through four time zones in two flights with a ten hour layover, all during the change to Daylight Savings Time, I think my time zone challenged brain has given up on me.
A Run At Love

If you’re looking for a good Valentine read, grab a cup of tea, some of your favorite chocolates, and cozy up with A Run Love by Toni Shiloh.
