If you knew me I would not be one you might label as obsessive compulsive or OCD. If I took a personality test I would probably score very low in those types of tendencies. But for some very odd reason, I am obsessively compulsive about a clean coffee maker. One might even label me a … Continue reading My coffee maker and me

Exhaustive Emptiness
“Exhaustive Emptiness.” I love the phrase. I only wish I had coined it. It came from one of my favorite authors, Max Lucado. It was in a recent devotional of his. Exhaustive emptiness describes those moments in your day when your spinning your wheels and you don’t see that anything you are doing is accomplishing … Continue reading Exhaustive Emptiness

They call me LaLa
They call me “LaLa,” but that is definitely not the grandmother name I intended to acquire. I wanted to be “Lolli” and I wanted Kevin to be “Pop.” However, through the years and beginning with our first grandson, Asher, my name has evolved into “LaLa” and Kevin’s is “Pop Pop.” The name “LaLa” is a … Continue reading They call me LaLa
Everlasting Father
The picture is faded because that’s what old Polaroid’s do. They place perfect memories onto imperfect paper. The paper can’t keep the images from blurring forever, but the memories can’t fade from our minds. What old Polaroid snapshots can do is stir up the memories. I call this week my dad’s birthday week. Three years … Continue reading Everlasting Father

Re-centering
We were immersed in a stimulating conversation. What it was about? - for the life of me I can’t remember, but it must have been deep and philosophical because it made me miss my exit. I heard the dreaded command from Gruzelda, (that’s what I call my car navigational contraption because at times … Continue reading Re-centering

It has begun. The first Sunday of Advent began Sunday December 3rd. The twenty four hour period came and went. It was a beautiful day. I got to spend it with a special little guy, Ezekiel Matthew Jones. He is nineteen months old and he lives in Pittsburgh. I don’t get to spend a lot … Continue reading THE CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL
UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN
“For unto us a child is born...” Isaiah 9:6 It seems such a strange way to save the world. Jesus came as a baby. He was born in the same manner as you and me. He wasn’t conceived in the same manner, but that’s another story for another day. This advent season I am focusing … Continue reading UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN
