Last year my billboard was a Bible verse. “Jesus wept.” John 11:35. I think it is still relevant. I’ve worked it into the next installment of my story. Thanks for reading. 💕 The chase Evie’s heart was pounding out of her chest. Sweaty hands gripped the steering wheel. A big black suv gotContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Sunshine Valley
Platonic relationships Evie sighed, “I have been told all my life that men and women can’t just be friends. As our society continues to change, it’s okay if your ‘friend’ of the opposite sex has a different sexual orientation from you. People still frown and judge. I am aware that there is a whole schoolContinue reading “Sunshine Valley “

Preventing the flood: The Story of Noah Bible Stories for Grown Ups A child’s view: I would bet there aren’t many children (especially in the Bible Belt) that haven’t heard the story of Noah. A lovely little story about a man God told to build a boat. He did. Got made fun of in theContinue reading “Monday School”
God, Chico and Me
I think it’s safe to post this poem on my blog since it’s been over a year and I haven’t heard back from the contest I submitted it to.

Winter Season
Make it right The next Sunday, Oscar and Esther did go back to church. After the choir sang their songs, Brother James stood behind the pulpit with his suit coat unbuttoned and his left hand in his pocket.

Testimony Tuesday on Wednesday
God’s lessons are all around us. We sometimes don’t know how to interpret what he’s saying. Or perhaps we know but we choose to look the other way. I know I do. Brush off an experience and say, ‘that’s not me’. There was a time in my life that I questioned how people could spendContinue reading “Testimony Tuesday on Wednesday”
Winter Season
New church Esther and Oscar were cleaning up the kitchen after dinner. “One of the teachers invited me to go to her church, what do you think?” Oscar asked. “What did she tell you about it?” “It is a Baptist church and they have a new young pastor. She says that he is full ofContinue reading “Winter Season”
