A Romance In Passing

Outstanding colorful words with imagery dripping from every jot and tittle… I think I was breathing hard when I finished reading this piece.

I came across her as she was walking down some road in the dark, with the rain pouring off her face and back, and I demanded she just get in the car and out of the weather till she muttered “Pervert” and climbed in anyway. I’d never met someone like her; who looked at common sense, and then tossed it out the window like it was a sandwich wrapper.



I never got to the heart of who she was, but she ‘got’ me in her lucid moments, more than anyone else I’ve ever met, or that was my impression. Between her affairs with ‘Weed,’ and drunken nights of partying with other men she might come to me and tell me ” You are the only one who understands me” and I took that to be praise, or the sign I had strength, or was someone special or just plain stupid…

Prophetic Voice Needed (Today More than Ever)

[image error]There are too many angry voices today. I always taught my children, though I imperfectly modeled it, that an angry voice goes unheard. A bully can get short term results, but a voice of wisdom and peace will earn lifelong results. 


The voice of God’s wisdom from the truth of his word is peaceful and powerful. 


But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. James 3:17


“If our tone is angry, they will not hear the truth. God’s truth is what is important to be heard, not us. Therefore, we do not need to be a hindrance, but an asset. Through the power of prayer and the filling of the Holy Spirit, God will show us a way to speak His truth in love to our culture”


Great wisdom from Dr. Ronnie Floyd the Senior Pastor of Cross Church, immediate past President of the Southern Baptist Convention, and founder of the Cross Church School of Ministry.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Quote from this wonderful blog post:

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” Albert Einstein

January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau



On this annual day of commemoration here are a few associated books:


These are two wonderful gifts I received last Christmas.books



“The Holocaust Museum In Washington” This book was written by Jeshajahu Weinberg, the founding director of the museum. There are hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs throughout the book–photos of kitchen utensils, hair, shoes, forged documents, artificial limbs, and luggage and prayer shawls confiscated from the victims. Haunting and terrifying are photos showing charred corpses of concentration camp inmates, a starved prisoner in Buchenwald, a young Jewish partisan woman being hanged in Minsk in 1941, Danish Jews escaping to Sweden on a small boat, and Hungarian Jews arriving in Auschwitz in 1944. The book provides a well-rounded history of  the Holocaust, but I would still really love to visit this museum in person!
