Throw The Anchor!
Bill and Tom set out for another fishing adventure. High hopes were in the air that the fish were biting this time. These two had a reputation for returning home empty-handed from a day of fishing. But it didn't stop them from days of laughter and celebration of...
Solemn Sacrifice.
"What are you giving up for Lent?" "I don't know. We don't usually give things up for Lent. What are giving up?" "I'm not sure but it's fun to see if we can make it the whole time." Growing up, our church didn't really promote giving up anything for Lent. My friends...
You Are What You Eat.
Did you know flamingos are born with gray feathers but turn pink because they eat a lot of shrimp and other food that contains alpha and beta carotenoid pigments? These pigments cause the color of the flamingos' feathers to change to pink. I guess it is true what...

Kindness Act Day Six!
"Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail, can keep the postal workers from delivering our mail." We've heard the saying. We've believed it. And truth be told, we've come to expect it. No excuses. The postal service has an important job to perform and they take it...
Kindness Act Day Five!
I pulled into the driveway 3 hours past my normal arrive-at-home time. Tired. Cold. Wet from rain. I actually took a deep breath and laid my head on the steering wheel dreading to go into this piled house that needed a good cleaning. My life had been crazy lately. ...
