Time tube travel: Sitting swaying as life unravels. Slowly recharging to join the fray. Getting ready for yet another day. Watching people run to and fro, While I’m suspended in air, like a UFO Suspended in time, in silence. Pondering life’s mysteries. How complicated we make simplicity When...

†. Gen 43:18c . . It must be, they thought; because of the silver, replaced in our bags the first time, that we have been brought inside-- as a pretext to attack us and seize us as slaves, with our pack animals. That's actually a pretty good mob trick; it's in movies like Godfather, and in TV...

Instant milk, instant coffee, instant noodles, instant oatmeal, the list goes on and on. We pull into the drive-thru, expecting our order to be ready in one minute. Any longer is outrageous. Those red lights never go green fast enough. We live in an instant society. We want it, and we want it...

Hi everyone, I hope that you’ve been having a great week. I know I have, sort of. Getting up at 6 am each morning sort of blunts my enthusiasm just a bit. Anyway enough of the chatter, today I’d like to write about regaining the glory. Our key verse comes from the book of Samuel. The kingdom of...

The scooter! Oh yeah! Now how nifty is this little thing? You can fold her up and carry her anywhere. She’s really light. And for those who are a bit more crazy, you can do back flips, 360′s, and wheelies! Or if you’re like me, you can do a front flip – over the bars … Keep reading → Source
