Do you ever wish that your mom was an alcoholic when she was pregnant with you? I do because then I’d have an excuse for some of my problems. If she at least did something to screw me up that’d be awesome because I could say something like “Yeah, I’m this way because my parents beat the stuffing … [Read more...]
Is it Luck or God?
This morning I was driving to a small country church where I was filling in for the normal pastor who was away, and while I was casually driving and talking to myself (I was rehearsing what I was going to say; I’m not my own best friend) I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw red and blue flashing … [Read more...]
A Truth About You
Today I had an ‘oohhhh’ moment. Oprah calls them ‘aha’ moments, but my response is more ‘oohhhhhh’ because to me “aha” is more of an “Aha, I knew you were up to no good; started making trouble in my neighborhood.

The first chapter opens by describing how the dog, Haatchi, as a puppy was found curled up bleeding on a busy railway track in London. It was discovered that … [Read more...]
Facing My Fear
The other day my mother came running in very upset from gardening. She is the most gentle and kind woman in the world (no exaggeration), so if something has upset her I become super brave and will do anything to defend her... and then I found out she saw a giant snake... bravery gone. Crazed … [Read more...]
How Do You Respond?
This week I had an experience I would’ve rather let someone else have. It’s one of those moments as an observer is hilarious, but to the person experiencing it, nasty. I was walking from my backyard to the front of my house, something I’ve done many times, but this time was different... and not in … [Read more...]
