I love the word serendipity.  What a funny sounding, weird word!  Even more, I love the serendipitous moments of life.  I am talking about the moments in life where when you least expected it, a grace or benefit comes your way.  I have experienced serendipity in a variety of settings.  I seen it happen in… Read More »

I noticed over the past few days that I was experiencing some rather unexplained feelings.  I have been feeling a bit anxious and moody.  Usually I am pretty good at “diagnosing” my inner feelings, bring them to the surface and take the appropriate steps to resolve the feeling of unease.  This skill that I just… Read More »

I have never attended a Tupperware party.  However, I was really impressed with their little toy that was designed to teach very small children how to match shaped objects with corresponding slots with the additional bonus of reinforcing hand/eye coordination.  You know…putting round pegs in round holes, etc. I remember how impressed my son was… Read More »

Its been an interesting time at the Itawamba Christian Church building the past few days.  The reason for the extra “fun” this week had to do with a rather unpleasant odor.  As the week progressed, the odor became more pronounced and several attempted to not only identify what was the source of the smell but… Read More »

My schedule has gotten a bit busier this week and I expect it will so for the next 2 weeks.  The reason for this increase in activity is in anticipation of taking some time off in September.  Camille and I are currently planning to be away for about 10 days.  We anticipate connecting with some… Read More »

Last week, Camille and I were making our weekly trip to the grocery story.  Masks were on and as we proceeded to the grocery carts I noticed a rather unnerving site.  I noticed that the grocery carts that were supposed to be available to customers, you know the one’s which were supposed to be sanitized… Read More »

When I was 14 years old and in 8th grade I wanted to be on the Track and Field team.  Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I wanted people to think I was a good athlete.  The truth is that I really wasn’t that crazy about it!  I decided that I wanted… Read More »
