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”
The face of loneliness
Yesterday my chapter of Winter Season was one of my main characters being lonely. Loneliness has been called an epidemic. The other day, while shopping the coffee aisle, scanning for a bargain, this flustered woman says, ‘“I can’t find the Coffeemate”. So I helped her look. They had little containers but not the big oneContinue reading “The face of loneliness”
Winter Season
Lonely Oscar tossed and turned in his bed. There was no sleeping. The day that his brother shot Esther kept playing in his mind. They hadn’t said goodnight to each other or gave each other a good night kiss. He couldn’t stand it. His call, it went unanswered. He wouldn’t let the night pass inContinue reading “Winter Season”
Savage flu shot
When you are the passenger in the back seat, it’s so hard to hear. Add hearing loss into the mix; the words just – find lives of their own. This happens to me more often than not. Topic of conversation? Can’t remember. Resulting remarks. Oh I remember. Savage flu shot. The laughter that ensued wasContinue reading “Savage flu shot”

Oscar looked at both of them, “we didn’t call her if that’s what you’re thinkin’ .” Bell was still smiling. She held up her cell phone, “I can prove it.” For the firstContinue reading “Winter Season”

Friendly ear Bell was sitting on the couch watching t.v. When the doorbell rang, she jumped out of her skin. She wasn’t expecting company. She had her p.j.’s on and was settled for the night. When she opened the door, there stood Oscar, soaked to the bone. “Oh dear Lord, get in here. You’re gonnaContinue reading “Winter Season”
Winter Season
The visit They had a wonderful Labor Day holiday. One that he relived over in his mind when class got boring and the day got long. He came home to find Ess in the kitchen; which wasn’t unusual. He liked it actually. The smell of food cooking. Even though it had been bland. That wasn’tContinue reading “Winter Season”
Winter Season
Dinner Chet and Bell pulled up. “Hello you two love birds.” Bell called to them. They got in the car and drove away to a celebration dinner. Chet and Bell were the first two people Oscar told, other than Esther. Who doesn’t tell their best friend about their bride to be? Oscar was extremely happyContinue reading “Winter Season”
Winter Season
Tongue click She rubbed her fingers through his hair, “feeling better?” “Yes, I always feel better when I’m with you.” A car was approaching them. “Oh dear lord.” He thumped his forehead on her shoulder. “Is that tongue click?” “Good guess.” “How do you want to handle this?” “With as little interaction as possible.” SheContinue reading “Winter Season”
