The Clock Or The DoorBell

Bread Crumbs

Bread Crumbs This morning I dug through my journals, a collection of my personal prayers, favorite Bible promises, and miracle stories. I picked up the oldest and fattest journal. Inside was a wad of folded papers. After twenty years I was curious as to what they were. I was awash in mixed emotions as I unfolded

Wasps On A War Path

Wasps On A War Path The wedding celebration was ready to begin. We scanned the seating arrangements and found our assigned table. I was delighted to find that my chair was beside two little girls ages two and four. It was more than I could resist, I reached out and brushed the cheek of the

Bandaged Babies

Bandaged Babies It was a cold winter day. The plastic windows snapped in the wind and the fire in the woodstove crackled and popped. It was too cold to play anywhere but by the fire. An upturned block of firewood stood by the woodstove where my dad had sat warming himself after a cold day of
