Pay Attention to Your Doodling

Is there something that you absolutely must accomplish before leaving planet earth? I had a lifelong habit of doodling until a friend asked, “What are you always writing?” My strokes were always the same but I never paid attention to “what” I scribbled. The marks on the paper looked like chicken scratch. I examined them by turning the paper around and discovered “BOOK” in seven different places.

Pride Leads to Destruction

This morning after reading a message from U S Senator Diane Feinstein about the shenanigans occurring on Capitol Hill, I was inspired to meditate on the book of Obadiah, the shortest book in the Old Testament.

Bliss and Blisters in Love & Marriage

Prologue I am delighted to share my story of love and loss during the Vietnam War era. Perhaps our marital relationship would have been quite different had the military draft not been a reality in our young adult experience. We’ll never know. Yet, on behalf of the 58,220 young men and women who lost their lives in combat and for other causes on foreign soil (per the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC), I felt […]
