Slip- sliding Away
I had just warned my son's friend, "Whatever you do, don't walk on the driveway, it's covered with ice." Winter had blessed us with a beautiful snowfall and everything had frozen overnight. Of course, 9-year-olds know everything, so off to the driveway we went. I remember reaching out for him as he started to slip. Then, my feet swooped up in front of me. Have you ever fallen in slow motion?




Pocket devotional: Meanwhile, back at the home ranch
Saturday mornings would find my brothers and I glued to the weekly episode of the Lone Ranger and Tonto. A gang of villains would fire their guns and stampede toward dusty little towns. Folks would scurry out of sight. Someone would flag down the Lone Ranger and Tonto. They would race in as their trademark tune would play. The bad guys would surrender, the townsfolk would rejoice.

Outside of my personal life is my extended family, the ministry and church family. ...




Pocket devotional: What if they’re right?
I dug through several dresser drawers before I found last year’s mittens. A quick inventory of milk and bread saved me the trouble of waiting in endless grocery store lines. I think that I was as excited as the kids while we watched the sky turn from a vivid blue to a shady gray. We sure had some drama during Winter Watch 2010. And it seemed that almost everyone had an opinion.
