“I form the light, and create darkness.” Isaiah 45:7 Happy Sunday, Folks. Only one day until the April 8, 2024 Annular (ring-shaped) Total Eclipse! My son’s family of 4 has traveled from central Maryland to a cozy HOA campground in the rustbelt.

Advent and Stones?
As with much that God has for us, things are not always as they seem.
A Thanksgiving Re-Tale, Retold
Thanksgiving 2009 has become the fixed north star on my timeline by which I recall, and in recalling, attempt to measure, weigh, and value God’s immeasurable, infinite and priceless faithfulness to me . . . .
A Thanksgiving Re-Tale, Retold
As the day unfolds in your own Thanksgiving time-space continuum, and as you determinedly brace yourself for too much turkey, you may already be anticipating the butterball leftovers that will stuff your lunchtime “sammiches” tomorrow. It is in the spirit of savory seasonal leftovers that I recycle an already several times told Thanksgiving re-tale. AContinue reading “A Thanksgiving Re-Tale, Retold”
