Flower of the Day Challenge, December 9, 2018
I loved this lone bloom. It seemed to be holding on to the very last. Sometimes, that's what we feel like when troubles come. With faith, we persevere unto our change comes. Holding On! Posted for the Flower of the Day Challenge from Cee's Photography.
A Train Ride Home: Friday Fictioneers
I sat listening to the sound of the train as it moved down the tracks, taking me closer to the place that I swore to never return. The clickety-clack of the train sends me into a trance, as I think back to the last time I was on a train, escaping from a place I... Continue Reading →
Saturday Mix: Opposing Forces
Traveling across water, it seems to me to separate the world into different peoples. But when I touch down on land, I am amazed at the smiles that so often greet me. I find that our shared humanity will always connect us in wonderful ways. Written for the Saturday Mix: Opposing Forces from Mindlovemisery's Menagerie:... Continue Reading →
Jazz and Christmas Music: It Was Swinging!
Last night I went to Symphony Hall in Nashville for the first time since moving nearby. I love the symphony, but it is a chore to drive in Nashville, for it is growing like weeds, and the traffic is horrendous.

Doors of Every Color: Thursday Doors Challenge
The doors of these changing rooms for tourists and beach lovers at the beach near where we stayed in Alicante, Spain were too beautiful not to photograph.

100 Word Wednesday # 99
Mark stopped running! The teasing about his faith was too much today. He thought that he could stand tall and declare his beliefs, in spite of the heckling and being called "Jesus-Boy" in such nasty tones. He's not ashamed of Jesus, but the only reason he wears this jacket with "Jesus Saves" on the back... Continue Reading →
Let Our Lives Inspire Others
I believed that I had no useful purpose in the world. I worked for the local telephone company, and all day long, I answered people's complaints with their computers or printers. While I knew that the work was important, I felt like a cog in a machine, not someone offering a uniqueness perspective to people... Continue Reading →
