A Choice for Now

In my last post, Choosing Between Good Things, I mentioned I might have to put my blog on hiatus. I've decided that instead of a full stop, I'm going to post on it when I can instead of posting regularly. As for a few other choices going on in life, I've got those...

Choosing Between Good Things

I have things to plan and work for regarding the future, and to do so I must figure out what things to give up in the present, if only temporarily. I don't want to give things up. I feel like I shouldn't give up some of them. But I do need to at least consider doing...

Horse Thief

This is a little story I made up a while ago. I've told it to a couple of little kids and they thought it was funny. There was a girl, and she was on a farm with lots of horses. She was standing outside eating an apple, and one of the horses was standing nearby....

Talking to Yourself

Anyone here ever talk to themselves? If you said no, I don't believe you. Whether you talk to yourself out loud or not, you do talk to yourself. It happens when you think, "I can hit the snooze button one more time," and, "I can probably do that tomorrow." It happens...

God’s Sense of Humor

God has many attributes: love, mercy, justice, righteousness, patience... and even humor. If you think God is this enormous being in the sky that looks down with a grumpy face at the world He has created, you would be mistaken. God loves us - that's why He created us....
