Many times we read our Bible in a hurry. Then, we get busy through the day and forget to meditate on it. Later, we wonder why we did not hear any new truths that day or why we feel so empty. I like what Calhoun says on page 173, "Just as moving a prism reveals… Continue reading A Spiritual Scaffold

Thoughts While Drinking My Coffee
Technology is great, until it isn't. Machines do a lot of cool things, until they don't do what we want. Sometimes, things work so well, we forget they can't think for themselves.

Corona Scare: My 2 Cents Worth
The emails have been pouring in. One from the grocery store where I shop, one from my credit card company, yet another from a clothing store that I sometimes frequent, and one from the guide dog school where I got my first dog. All of them are basically saying the same thing; they want to… Continue reading Corona Scare: My 2 Cents Worth
