for the green that does not grow we break our backs throughout our lives the seed we must sow in order to make up for the green we lack some rob, cheat, and steal to get pictures of presidents so grand others will grind the mill and hope time will work a plan we haveContinue reading “Green”

Excommunicated
Excommunication! Manipulation. Silence. How dare you! You will need me. Silence. I can. You can. Manipulation. Do as I say. Not as I do. Manipulation. Moan. Complain. Be silent! Abandon. Need. Manipulation. There is a built in need in every child to have a relationship or bond with our birth parents. This need is deepContinue reading “Excommunicated”
Thankful Thursday
The Bible study group I belong to does a series called Thankful Thursday. This is my take on one story. You may totally disagree and that okay. My thankfulness today is the ability to learn. The Bible is the word of God. Sin and human nature tends to bend us in ways the word ofContinue reading “Thankful Thursday”
Broken Little Light
The last time I got my tires changed, I think the garage broke one of my tire sensors. It worked before. Not after. Now when your tire is flat, that little light goes insane. Right? None stop flashing? No worries. The last little bit I’ve noticed when I put my foot on the break, myContinue reading “Broken Little Light”
Honor thy parents
Being a Christian isn’t easy. Trying to find that right balance of honoring God with your life but at the same time not pushing others away from being curious about God or Christianity is delicate. I have no desire to tell you your life is a mess when mine is a different mess. I wouldContinue reading “Honor thy parents”
Getting to know
Dating is difficult at any age. It is especially difficult for me because I’m an introvert. The older we get, we know a potential partner comes with baggage: children, debt, ex’s, for starters. We hold our breath with anxious dread waiting for the crazy to drop. I let someone get in my head and convinceContinue reading “Getting to know”
Reading too much
I’m one of those people that over think EVERYTHING. You patted my arm, what did that mean? Are people just allowed to be friendly any more? Most people are not touchy as they walk out the door. We are (after all) in the south. “It was good to see you,” flowed from your mouth. I’veContinue reading “Reading too much”
A Rose in Winter
Withering like a rose in winter, the crown of red dries and turns to dust. A stem so feeble a gentle wind could break it. Spring growing rain. Heat of summer. A gentle kiss from young lovers. Admires eyes gazing at the perfection nature has made. All just fleeting memories. Was it ever young? WasContinue reading “A Rose in Winter”
Heads Up
The first thing I do when I get home is to take my dog to the bathroom. As we head out, walking down the driveway to the yard; a vehicle is driving past. Out of the corner of my eye, I see this black object flying straight toward me. The projectile wizzed by me. YeahContinue reading “Heads Up”
Land
I can’t land. Each time I try, here comes the fan. I can’t land. That looks nice and soft. Forget that plan. I can’t land. People, they might let me stand. I can’t land. A mountain top, far from man. I can’t land. Help me understand. I can’t land. Each time I get close; nope.Continue reading “Land”
