What if Your blessings come through raindrops and what if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know that You are near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life Is the […]
An angel

In an empty sanctuary She began to play slowly…reverently Just her… her piano and…her God What she could not see was the aging gentleman kneeling in the shadows What a pity she didn’t know that her music soothed the man Transported him from trials and worries…and the stuff best left unworried about His eyes closed […]
One great mom
August 8, 2019
We were in line last night at Sweet Tomatoes near The Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree. Suddenly, there was a crash near the cash register as a seven year old’s plate hit the floor. I watched to see how the expectant mother would react. She passed with flying colors. There was no anger and […]
Stress

‘If you put your nose to the grindstone rough, And keep it down there long enough, You will soon conclude that there are no such things, As a brook that babbles or a bird that sings. Three things will all your world compose Just you, the grindstone and your darned old nose.’ Unknown

Encouragement
June 3, 2019
We love watching the women’s college softball World Series each year. The enthusiasm of the players and their rabid fans is something to behold. Tonight, one of the announcers was talking about a hitter who was in an 0 for 26 slump. She said the player was ‘taking a long trip on the trouble train.’ […]

‘If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain If I can ease one life the aching or cool one pain Or help one fainting robin unto its nest again, I shall not live in vain I shall not live in vain Love seeketh not itself to please nor for […]
No regrets
April 22, 2019
Many friends are unaware that a much younger cowboy finished second when auditioning years ago for the part of Jethro in the hit TV show The Beverly Hillbillies. When the casting director broke the news to me, she suggested that I hustle over to Lot 19 to see if they were still hiring for Gilligan’s […]
Tranquility
March 27, 2019
There’s a time for Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, and rock to the max music. But…if you want a dose of tranquility, it’s tough to beat Bill Douglas and The Ars Nova Singers. ‘My love is like a red, red rose that gently blooms in June My love is like the melody that sweetly plays in […]
A Challenge

You’ve probably seen news reports with pretty alarming pictures of sink holes in Florida. It occurred to me that people should be on guard for ‘conversational sink holes’ that can put a damper on your day. Will Bowen is a pastor in Kansas and wrote a best selling book called A Complaint Free World. In […]

A very young cowboy has taken author Julia Cameron’s advice and writes Morning Pages each day. They are three pages of streaming thought and the habit is a great way to start the day. Every morning, a part of the writing centers on gratitude and looking beyond the daily, inevitable trials and inconveniences that flow […]
