FOGGY MOUNTAIN BREAKDOWN

I thought this picture of the rainbow was clearer and brighter than it looks above. I also thought I was going to write this post over a week ago. Sometimes things just don’t work out as planned. Last weekend, I was moaning (whining, maybe) about things breaking: the water pipes, the disposal, the blinds, theContinue reading “FOGGY MOUNTAIN BREAKDOWN”

ZOOM

Earlier this year, I don’t think I had even heard of Zoom. Now it defines my life. Zoom meetings, Zoom classes and webinars, Zoom hearings – sometimes two or more at once in different “courtrooms”- , Zoom birthday parties and reunions, Zoom church. About the only thing we haven’t done on Zoom lately is groceryContinue reading “ZOOM”

Happy Independence Day

I’m beginning to believe it as I am now talking to higher and higher tiers of people inContinue reading “In the Twilight Zone?”

Who Is God

Have you ever asked anyone, “Who is God?” I asked a group of third-graders that question and they suggested that God was an old man with a long beard like the famous painting by Michelangelo. I have also asked adults that question. Many have come up with the same image that the third graders did.Continue reading “Who Is God”

The Journey Begins
