Forgiven, Never Forgotten
When Ellen’s granddaughter was grieving back at home in Cali, she moved to comfort herself by looking through a box of her grandma’s books. At the top was Bluebirds by David W. Frasure. It was a quick read and she called and told me it spoke to her soul, as…

The Pendulum
The word vacillate is lovely, isn’t it? I mean, you can visualize the word in soft focus — swaying back and forth as an impartial-ized pendulum, never wanting to slow for fear of landing on one side or the other. Dictionary.com states it as such: To waver in mind or…

Looking Out While In

Why, yes! It HAS been a while. That’s the great thing about writing a blog with which you have no intention of making money nor any care of whether it’s being read or not. Consistency? Meh. “These are the times that try (hu)man’s souls.” ~ Thomas Paine I was lying…
