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 →
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 →
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. Although we could lightly afford the $100 price tag for the seat I chose near... Continue Reading →
My sister and I spent part of our childhood sharing a home with my mother's youngest sister and her three children. When my aunt would give candy or juice to her children, she would not share any with us. It was as if she did not see us or we had somehow became invisible in... Continue Reading →
These flowers seemed to be performing a synchronized dance! I could just picture them moving together in perfect rhythm with music! Posted for Cee's Photography Flower of the Day Challenge, December 6, 2018

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 →
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 →
These flowers were in the Municipal Park in Elche, Spain. They looked like mums, but may not be. They look as though God himself painted them that vibrant yellow that soothes our souls. Thank you, God, for the color yellow! What a gift! Posted for Cee's Photography's Flower of the Day December 5, 2018
This wall of flowers was so interesting to me as Douglas and I visited the Roman ruins in the middle of the city of Alicante, Spain. The Roman ruins are called Licentum Ruinas Romanas. The name of the flowers was nowhere to be found, but they were so beautiful that my heart just felt peace... Continue Reading →
