I read this story a few years ago. I do not know who wrote it. It is not original with me but at this time of Thanksgiving I think it is so appropriate. “One afternoon a shopper at the local mall felt the need for a coffee break. She bought herself a little bag of […]
In today’s controversy about teaching black history, I strongly believe we need to know our stories. We need to understand that we all do not come from the same background, do not share the same experiences. It is only as we are willing to learn from one another that our country can be what it […]

Preoccupied – (of a matter or subject) dominate or engross the mind of (someone) to the exclusion of other thoughts. Reflecting on that thought I realize there are a few things that […]
Reading a friend’s blog today got my mind thinking about how fast this year has gone by. How fast my life is going by. As I thought about the years already past (76) and wondered how many years lie ahead of me, I thought of the story in the Bible of Enoch. In the genealogy […]
