Love Isn’t Lazy
The fact remains true and indisputable that God saves us by divine kindness (grace) and not by anything we do to earn that blessing (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The Award that Wasn’t
Robin Claire nominated me for the “Reality Blogging Award” and I have expressed my gratitude to her. For reasons that only, as she calls me, a “quirky” person would understand, I have chosen not to accept. Awards and recognition and status make me uneasy. I have linked to her blog anyway, so please click on her name and go there and be blessed by her words, as I have been.

“I Will Not Forget You”
Where I work the earth turns to grime galore in the rain. The hiring company’s logo disappears from sight. The identifier our company uses requires constant cleaning to remain visible, at the cost of rag after rag, and a string of paper towels at the end of a shift to clean the magnetic signs before storage.

Persecuted for Doing Right
I just read on NBC.com the story of a 92 year-old Roman Catholic priest who was stripped of his priestly duties. He did not commit a crime. No action of his was illegal under civil law. His sin was not bigotry or ageism or even sexism. So why can he not act like a priest anymore? Read more…
