When you know, you know
Years ago I remember reading a story that went something like this: The manager of a factory was in need of hiring someone to work the assembly line of his factory. So he put out an ad, collected some applications, and began the interview process. Several people came in to interview for the job. And…
Goat heads
Goat heads Life is full of surprises isn’t it? Some surprises are good, even welcomed. Other surprises, not so much. I like surprises that include friends and presents and cake. But the kind of surprises that include a trip to the tire store to fix a flat, or the kind that include draining the bank…
Wrapping it up.
I don’t know about you girls, but I have a lot of purses. I have them in several colors. Brown, black, white, red, blue, teal, and peach. I have them in several different styles. The kind with multiple pockets, the kind with a loop to keep it closed at the top, the kind that have…
Somedays…
Car trouble. It’s pretty much the worst. It’s never convenient. It’s always expensive. And it is down right upsetting! One of my grown kids is wrestling with some car trouble right now.

A series of words
Words are a big part of our lives. Words shape us. Words influence us. Words can wound us. And words can heal us. The words we speak to others can impact them in big ways. When I have a close relationship with someone, the words they speak to me can influence me greatly. They can…
Seeing clearly
For a number of years, I worked at a school. I have some fun and cherished memories of my time there. All the kids at the school where I worked were small, preschool through just second grade. One of the things I especially enjoyed about that age group is the funny things they would say!…
