If Chickens Could Talk
It was a beautiful spring day! The front door was left open to enjoy the breeze. I was in my office at one end of the house while Gabriel and his grandmother were mixing up homemade bread in the kitchen at the other end. The sun was shining brightly, the enticing aroma wafted on the breeze, and all things seemed right with the world.
Then it happened!
All of a sudden, the distant squawking of a panicked chicken grew rapidly in volume until, in just a matter of seconds, it seemed like I Continue reading If Chickens Could Talk

That’s My Dad!

The Flower
As the little seed began to sprout, she found herself surrounded in darkness. Only a very thin slit of light broke through the barrier above her head. Whispers filled the darkness. “She doesn’t belong here!” “Who does she think she is?!” “We are the weeds and this is our soil!” “The flower must not survive!”

I considered the human experience and I thought about the impact we have had on God’s serene creation. From the constant noise of Continue reading Window Watching 2
Seedless Watermelon
Fresh fruit! The best! Recently, I stopped at a local fruit stand to get some peaches. Off to the side, I noticed several watermelons laying in a wagon of hay. I asked the man if he had any that were seedless. He pointed to the small, dark green ones and I picked out the largest.
Later, at home, my anticipation of the sweet, convenient thrill of SEEDLESS watermelon drew me to the counter. I reached for a large knife and the initial cut made that wonderful popping sound as the Continue reading Seedless Watermelon

Without Pressure from the wind,
a kite never flies.
Without straining for the goal,
runners get no prize.
Without sand to irritate,
a pearl could not grow.
Without effort from the hand,

The Compromise
The hunter raised his rifle and carefully took aim at a large grizzly bear.
“Wait!” shouted the bear. “Let’s talk about this. Can’t we compromise?”
“Compromise?” asked the hunter. “Why should we compromise?” Continue reading The Compromise
