Numbered

You are the first thought of my day. How quickly You fade into the background, covered over by my busyness. I struggle to hold Your hand and walk with You as the day grows, time attacks me, I grapple to regain my hold. I can find no rest from this…

A Trashy Lesson

Recently, I was reminded of an encounter I had in my office with a young person a couple of years ago. (It doesn’t matter if this person was male or female because we all have dealt with mean, hateful people.) There was an inner sadness in this young…

Judge’s Stand

Time. I have been thinking a lot about time. Maybe because I am getting older, and reminiscing has become a favorite pastime. Many years ago, I was in the school marching band. We performed at all the football and basketball games. Occasionally we were invited to march in a parade…
