Finding what you are not looking for!

Last year I upgraded my phone to an iPhone4s. I took my old iPhone3g and gave it to Linda.
She took her old phone and put it away.
This past week, our daughter was having trouble with her phone. It seems the screen is going out and she having trouble seeing text and pictures.
So the logical solution is to give her Linda’s old phone, the one we put away… somewhere! Continue reading

What is your reason?

He came to church and sat on the back row.
Everyone shook his hand and introduced themselves.
He was a stranger; someone they had never seen before.
He stood quietly throughout the praise and worship. Continue reading

Repaired

On Friday an appliance repairman came to our house to do warranty work on the front-load washer.
This is the 3rd time a repairman has had to work on it and it’s been a different one each time.
This guy was really nice and thorough. Continue reading

Recognize the voice!

Wednesday night finished up a study of Galatians.
The book is about how the church(es) had heard the true Gospel message from Paul and believed it.
Then, as soon as he left, some others came in, added to and changed the message. Continue reading

From lying to laughter!

I couldn’t help but laugh.
Haylee walked into the living room with a bloody paper towel. I asked her, “What happened, baby?”
She said that she fell down and poked herself on something on the floor.
Over the next few minutes she admitted she had poked herself with a kitchen knife while cutting her some summer sausage. Continue reading

Only a mother’s love

I remember a few years ago I was in San Augustine when I notice a bird’s nest underneath the courthouse pavilion. As I stared at it, wondering what kind of bird had built it; I saw something move from within the nest. I climbed atop a table and gazed into, what I can only describe as, the eyes of the most ugly bird I’ve ever seen. Continue reading

An only (but not lonely) child

I am an only child!
I have no brothers and no sisters but I do have many cousins and there is one in particular that I saw quite often as I was growing up, her name is Donna.
At times we were inseparable as we played or got in trouble. She was just about the closest thing to a big sister that I’ve ever had and perhaps I was a little brother to her because she, too, is an only child. Continue reading

Happy Father’s Day

His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers. Mal 4:6
Today’s Morning Thought is a bit different. I was looking through some archives from 2003 and I found a poem I had written for Father’s Day.
Since Father’s Day is this Sunday, I thought I would repost it!

He left the house before I got up and was gone all day long.
At night I waited at the door for him to come back home. Continue reading

Real Milk or Canned Milk?

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. Continue reading
