This is the weekend that it all begins – or ends, depending on how you look at it. At 2 AM Saturday night, “spring ahead” by setting your clocks forward one hour. (I actually knew someone who set and alarm and got up at 2 AM to change the clocks. Personally, I do it sometime…

March!
“March bustles in on windy feet And sweeps my doorstep and my street. She washes and cleans with pounding rains, Scrubbing the earth of winter stains. She shakes the grime from carpet green Till naught but fresh new blades are seen. Then, house in order, all neat as a pin, She ushers gentle springtime in.”…
Ash Wednesday
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your fooduntil you return to the ground, since from it you were taken;for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19 New International Version (NIV) Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not…
Great Idea!
I’ve learned so much from my mistakes, that I’m thinking of making a few more. – Unknown
Speech Trouble
As I shrugged into my coat, I told my daughter, “I’m going out to fill the fird beeders.” She looked at me, smiling. “Fird beeders,” I repeated, unable to think how to say it right. “FIRD BEEDERS!” I tried again, then started to laugh, too. Jenna got up from the piano bench. “Do you heed…
Valentine Finale
Paying It Forward A smile’s not a smile till it wrinkles your face,A bell’s not a bell without ringing.A home’s not a home when there’s nobody there, A song’s not a song without singing. Love isn’t love till you give it away, Love isn’t love till it’s free.Love in your heart wasn’t put there to…
Still Valentine’s Day
Family & Friends In addition to Agape, we also have the gift of “Storge” (STOR-jay), Greek for familial love. (Quarrels happen, but we have each other’s back, right?) God has also given us “Philia” (FILL-ee-uh), the bond seen in friendships. “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Ah, Love! While we may not have “Eros” (AIR-ohs, Greek for romantic love) in our lives just now, we still celebrate; because without exception, we are the recipients of “Agape” (Uh-GAH-pay), the highest kind of love: God’s love – perfect and unconditional. So take a moment with the truth: You are loved, abundantly and forever,…
Stubbed
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! As I stepped out of the shower, I stubbed several toes on the rim of the tub. One in particular, really hurt. Realizing that even if it was broken, it would only be immobilized, I buddy-taped it to the next toe. It was a partial fix: That toe was still…
Special Sunday!
Tomorrow, Sunday, is special. Not only is it Super Bowl Sunday (important to many people), it is Groundhog Day (important to almost no one). But the icing on the cake is the date. 02/02/2020 is a rare, eight-digit palindrome! (Reading the same backward and forward.) The last one was 11/02/2011. Sunday’s palindrome is extra-extra special,…
