Taking time in the midst of life to look for smiles every day…..

Paul

Once again, I lost a blog while trying to publish, but I’m going to try and reconstruct because it is one I really wanted to share.
Facebook has been an amazing tool for communication and reconnection for me.  I’ve reconnected with old friends from school, with relatives (kids of nieces and nephews) who don’t even remember [...]

Not One Jot or Tittle

Matthew 5:18 – For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled.
Luke 16:17 – And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one tittle of the law to fail.
The above passages or straight [...]

Puny

It being Sunday night, I wanted to at least acknowledge that it’s time to begin my blogging week! 
Once again, I have the beginnings of what I refer to as the “crud;” therefore, I don’t have a lot of inspirational, encouraging, or humorous thoughts to share tonight.  I did want to make an appearance [...]

Be Ye Imitators

As often happens, one of the Power for Today devotionals touched my heart this week, and it has stayed on my mind.

A man told of having a heart-to-heart conversation with his soon-to-be-college-bound son one night.  The conversation closed with the son hugging the father and telling him he wanted to be a man “just like [...]

Love and Hope are Eternal

And they say love is not eternal!  Let me tell you, there has been proof recently that love IS real, withstands the test of time, and there is ALWAYS hope.
How do I know this?  Well……………
Josh and Reva.  Do you know Josh and Reva?  Long-time lovers, numerous times as husband and wife, breaking up, divorcing, marrying [...]

The Waterfall was Pretty and NOT on Our Heads!

Last night’s sunset wedding turned out real pretty.  I’ll try and share a few pictures this evening.  If anyone from Berclair congregation questions you about where we were last night, here’s proof we were at a wedding and not propped up in front of the TV!
Bre and Jeremy

Family Picture.  Sunlight was waning.
We were out again [...]

Brevity is the Key Tonight

Hi and happy Sunday evening!
At my usual blogging time tonight, we will be attending a wedding in  North Mississippi, so I will see you again tomorrow night.
The bride and groom want to get married outside in a park (I suppose) near a waterfall or a fountain or something.  The way our weather has gone the [...]

Smiles

1.  Kayleigh

2.  Kayleigh and Barney

3.  Kayleigh, Grammy (Rhonda) and Aunt Judy

4.  Lunch with Grandmama

5.  Grandmama (Doris) and Kayleigh  (Sorry, I don’t know how to turn it upright!)
I thought I would leave you at the end of this blogging week with pictures of some smiles.  Kayleigh and her Grammy (Rhonda) paid us a surprise visit yesterday, [...]

Oh My Goodness!

I’ve always sorta known this, but tonight it was reinforced.  Those folks in churches who come, sit through the class/worship service and go home without knowing the inner workings of what makes the classes and worship services take place may, just MAY, be the smartest ones!  Take responsibility for a couple of things, and you’ll [...]

Ain’t Technology Grand!!!

This will brief this evening.  We have flu all around us (just the seasonal stuff) and, while I’m not sick, I just feel kinda yucky.  My Hailey, who DOES have the flu, says she feels like a puddle of yuck! 
But today a smile came again through the avenue of technology, i.e., Facebook, when [...]
