Actions and Consequences
Several years ago—actually, almost 3 decades ago—one of my sons decided to cut his hair, an act in itself not an issue. His naturally wavy, long, thick chestnut brown hair was cropped off… again, not an issue. What came next was! Whether the action was self-perpetrated or he fell victim at the hands of a far-too-willing friend, I have no idea. What I do know is that his beautiful hair that any woman would gladly pay mega dollars for became straw-like, thanks to the contents of a...
Read MoreThe Not-So-Little Black Book
The notorious little black book has often surfaced in movies, books, and in the breast pocket of some male wannabe casanovas. The book supposedly holds names, phone numbers, and quite likely, some other pertinent information. I must confess that I, too, have a black book! It’s just not so little.

In some ways it was like sitting in a rocking chair: something to do, but getting...

It’s hard to believe that January has already come to an end and I can’t help wondering…How many individuals have already “come to an end” with their month-old New Year’s Resolutions? I also can’t help wondering…Why? Is it due to procrastination? Laziness? Has a person simply lost interest? Or is it from setting too high an expectation? Rather than face failure, perhaps it’s easier to simply ignore what has become self-inflicted misery. Either way, I refuse to...
Read MoreFor Unto Us a Son is Given
Throughout the year—and especially at Christmas—I love to listen to Bethlehem, Galilee, Gethsemane. A powerful song! And no one better than Russ Taff to sing it! Earlier this month I was reminded of that song through a portion of When God Whispers Your Name by Max Lucado and I’d like to share this quote and the song as my Christmas gift to you! Be blessed! If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have...
