This is not just another copy of the Christmas Story. Read to the end. As I have been thinking about the meaning of Christmas and the surrounding celebrations, I wanted to share a thought about Joseph. First, this is the story from Matthew 1:18-25 This is how...

This poem is one that turned into something quite different from what I set out to write. It was written June 11, 2015. It is a story about a journey through life of a little girl who seeks what we all seek: Love returned to us. I like it and I pray that someone...

This is a poem written back in the late 90s for my Mom as a gift on Mother’s Day. I can think of no greater calling that that of being a Mother. Mom, I love you more than I can ever express and I know that you love me, too. In spite of my warts, you are my...

Have you ever heard these words? Why is it that we sometimes feel the need to “comfort” each other with a sentiment like, “It could be worse!” I don’t know about you, but I find very little comfort in knowing that my perceived disaster...
