Leave Room for the Unexpected

It is good to fill every hour but better to recognize that God may have other plans, better to leave room for the unexpected. I do not know why the Almighty does not bother to inform us ahead of time, but we are usually caught flat-footed. We have phones for text and voice. Are the […]

The Universe Smiles

In my world, it seems like the universe smiles when I am bold, has a good laugh when I fall on my face, then has its heart go out to me when I get back up again. Is my world anything like yours? Lately I have been thinking of George Plimpton. He was known to […]

My friend said, “Let’s go to my neighborhood Irish pub.” We walked from his house and into an XXX-rated topless bar. I saw the neon lights […]

Hospitality Is Over

The birds get fed every Sunday. Three hours is all we can give them in the church auditorium. Some want to stay all day but Paul and I chase them away. As one of the homeless walks toward the church, Paul stops him verbally. “Mister! Hey! Mister!” Reluctantly the man turns around, not because he […]

Stainless-Steel Cutlery
