Let’s start by noting that this is Part 2. If you aren’t aware of what is happening, or if you are late to the table, have no fear. Just stop and click here: Exit to part 1 If you have completed part 1 GREAT! Thanks for playing along. It is my hope that my words are […]
For anyone who isn’t aware, I’ll explain what I’m doing here. Recently, I posted an informal poll to see if my readers would be receptive to the idea of me posting a “serial novella” here. I received all positive responses, so I sat down and began to write. The following are the first words of […]
I was asked if I would be writing an Easter story this year. I thought for a minute and replied, “I suppose I should.” That was four days ago, and at the moment, it is now Easter Sunday morning here in South Mississippi and I’m looking at a mostly blank screen. But not to worry, […]
He Maketh No Mistake by A. M. Overton My Father’s way may twist and turn, My heart may throb and ache, But in my soul, I’m glad I know, He maketh no mistake. My cherished plans may go astray, My hopes may fade away, But still I’ll trust my Lord to lead For He doth […]

During pensive moments, often, the overwhelming urge arises to try to glance at the scoreboard. An ineffectual act to be sure, yet I think it is part of the DNA that makes up my DNA. From one day to the next, I wonder about the score, and more importantly, consider the clock, knowing fully that […]
I was driving home tonight alone in the dark. Void of the lights of town, a bright and mostly full moon shown above, and absolutely NOTHING was to be found on the radio. This is nothing new. To me, radio as a music delivery system is less than a generation now from being a thing […]
In light of the holiday, I guess it would be a great opportunity for me to write a little something about Thanksgiving. To the believer, I’d say that this year, especially, we need to take time to really, really, give thanks to The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for his many blessings. Not the cursory thanks given […]
