Great place to collapse Clint called in. Dillon rolled his aching body out of bed. What was he thinkin’ yesterday? Instead of Evie being kind to him, she should have kicked his hindquarters. Stupid man. Yesterday, it was 102 in the shade. Today, it was 110. Temperatures had steadily been climbing.Continue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Bible Stories for Grown Ups: The parable of the talents
I’m going to be perfectly honest here. Deep sigh, scratching my head – NOT another parable. Come on Jesus. We have a saying, “plain talk is easily understood.” When I was in school we had this teacher, if you didn’t know how to spell a word she would say ‘look it up’. I got inContinue reading “Bible Stories for Grown Ups: The parable of the talents”

Stupidest thing ever Dillon woke shivering. Almost to the point of convulsing. A blanket was being wrapped around his shoulders. “Here, you need to drink this?” He couldn’t hold the cup. His hands were shaking too bad. She gently took the cup from him, holding it to his lips. Continue reading “Sunshine Valley”
The sky is falling?
Help, the sky is falling. Don’t look up. The sky is falling. Rain. Sleet. Snow. Hail. Help. The sky is falling. Don’t look up. Might be a satellite. Might be a chunk of rocket. HELP! Don’t look up. The sky is falling. Okay, it’s straight line winds. A tornado. Don’t look up. The sky isContinue reading “The sky is falling?”

She didn’t want me Dillon had been dragging his feet for years over a hole in the fence. He owned the property beyond the break. The goats and cows didn’t seem to mind each other. The supplies had been purchased. Just hanging out in the barn where Teka lived. Waiting. HeContinue reading “Sunshine Valley “

He knew the DEA had 2 agents in Coal Town but he had no idea who they were. He hated this community being called ‘Coal Town’. Everyone goesContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”
The path
Life is full of paths. Perhaps you find it fascinating and wish to do the math? ~ One such path is the path of love. There is a need imprinted on our souls from above. ~ We spend our lives in hope. We find multiple ways to cope. ~ We fall into pools, shimmering. AtContinue reading “The path”

The alternative After Margaret got what she wanted to eat, Dillon packed up the leftovers to take to Pastor Sam. He would make sure it went to where the greatest need was. Most likely Coal Town. As he worked, he thought about what he had just said to his officers, ‘thinkContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”
Humanities rest
Since the beginning of time, humanity has turned on a dime. ~ Need to survive. Thrive. Emotions always in overdrive. ~ Wars, famine, civil unrest; brings out the worst. Brings out the best. Puts humanity to the test. ~ Humanity makes things; good and bad. The good, used for bad, humanity sad. ~ Does humanitiesContinue reading “Humanities rest”
