Finding My Way Back

This is a story about an overwhelming feeling. A feeling, like a dark cloud that swirls around on a summer day just waiting to burst open.

Ribbons In The Sky

It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. An afternoon that just begged for two people to take a much overdue ride. I must admit that I had always loved taking long rides in the country. Especially on a day when the sky was blue, and the grass that never really froze was still a somewhat shadeContinue reading “Ribbons In The Sky”

Sunday, October 27th, deep gray, almost black sky, rain pelting against the windows, and me wishing I could stay snug under the cozy blankets until the storm passed. In the distance, church bells were ringing, beckoning me, reminding me of the time, as I slowly pushed back the covers, yawning, making my way to the coffeeContinue reading “A GOD MOMENT”

The windows that welcomeContinue reading “Stained-Glass Windows”

A TUESDAY RAINBOW

It rained again today. It was also damp. Damp to the point that it chilled me to the bone. I must admit, I didn’t do much except the normal everyday things. However, I did write, and I did pray. As the day went on, I thought about senior citizens who are alone and wonderedContinue reading “A TUESDAY RAINBOW”

I must admit that tonight’s story has been stirring for a while. Although it continues to nudge me, I have no idea why and how I am to write it. So, bear with me as I try to figure out the path this story will take. In my journey over the years, I have metContinue reading “AND THE ANGELS WHISPERED”
