Lord, Have Mercy!
I’ve heard people say “Lorrrd, have mercy!” as a quick retort when yet another “I can’t believe it” circumstance happens. In reality, that is what we should say, rather pray, anytime we encounter a roadblock, a rock landslide, “rocked my world” or rock crazy situations going on in our world. The rock-solid mercy of God…
Seen Any Rainbows Lately?
Yesterday I blogged about clouds. Today, it’s rainbows. This first rainbow was just near my residence in Austin. A mere short-lived rainshower brought that one. Then, a couple of weeks ago, my daughter’s family and I were in Corpus Christi at Port Aransas where we boarded a big fishing boat. It was pouring down rain.…
Lord, Have Mercy
As sure as the sun rising in the east is me saying those words when I’ve broken something, said something I shouldn’t have, heard about devastation or someone’s plight. Those are my “go to” words without even thinking. I say those words often – particularly when I don’t have adequate words to say otherwise. “Lorrrd,…
Bring on the Cheese!
My 13-year-old grandson is here with us for a few days. I have to share him now. Big cousin Payton gets his time. Quite a comparison between Nana’s and Payton’s uptown apartment where the guys have their gaming fun, rooftop lookout, nerf gun wars — guy stuff! But Bryson was ready for Nana’s “chill-place” where…
A Filet Knife Can Sure Slice and Dice
All that blood! On our fishing trips, I am the designated cook. It’s my pleasure. I love rustling in all the fisher-people for their next chow-down. My son, Larry, is the fish-filet-er. He uses the sharpest filet knife to get the perfect, boneless filets for our big fish-fry. It was that knife that was laying…
In the Sight of God and These Witnesses
Right in the middle of church yesterday, the pastor said “Please be seated. We are having a wedding now. And, up came a lovely bride, handsome groom, their two attendants, and on the front row behind the couple were their children. The pastor said “They were married seven years ago, but today they want to…

You’ve Got a Friend in Me
With six grandchildren, I’ve watch many animated movies and among my favorites was Toy Story. “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” is the theme song. Maybe we should use it as our own theme song: You’ve got a friend in me. You’ve got a friend in me. You’ve got troubles, and I’ve got ’em too…
A Love That Lasts a Lifetime
Day 291 of Photo Insprations — A Love That Lasts a Lifetime I had that kind of love with my sweetheart. We were going to grow old together. We were already planning a big famly vacation to celebrate our 50th which would have been in 2016. But my Sweetheart slipped out of this “heaven on…
