Yesterday morning I was issued a citation for failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, where I honestly did stop!  Now I’m not saying that I paused long enough to have breakfast or to enter into a lengthy dialogue with my children – it was more like a “blink and you’ll [...]

When my daughter was three or four years old, she loved to “help” me in the kitchen.  If I announced that I was making cookies, she would get a chair and push it over to the countertop, ready to join me in the process.  She loved measuring flour, cracking eggs (always an adventure) and stirring [...]

The other evening I was sitting outside on the front porch, having a visit with my friend Sylvia, when our conversation was interrupted by the arrival of a tiny, four-legged creature greeting us with a series of loud barks.  We looked up to see a miniature Chihuahua, whose ears seemed twice the size of its [...]

I was sitting in my backyard yesterday afternoon – soaking up a bit of sunshine, listening to the soothing sound of the man-made waterfall that my “Household Hero” built last summer, and contemplating the greatness of God.  In my mind, I kept going back to an image that I read in the writings of John [...]
