Day 55

I don’t know what God is doing. I don’t know why the challenges are hitting the O’Gara clan so hard. Seems we get two steps forward in just to get knocked back five. What I do know is God is in control. He will bring us through this, maybe a little banged up, but through…

Day 54

The sun is shining and I’m alive. I live in a free country where I can believe and speak as I wish. Even so, I am never free of the consequences of my beliefs acted upon or my words spoken.

Day 53

A touch of fiction….. Shades of a purple, amber, and rose sunset streak the sky above the park. A meadow of neon dandelion stalks with bright yellow flowers sway in the evening air. A girl sits on a bench of iron and damp wood wearing a red coat, gray felt hat, and brown leather gloves…

Day 52

I want to see miracles. I want to see hidden jewels. I want to live in the sunlight. I want to feel the sweet soft summer breeze on my skin. I want to hear your voice from behind in my hair. I want to taste ripe berries and fruit of the season. I want a…

Day 48

Snow in Texas. Freezing temps in Florida. A world wide virus that is mutating. What is happening? Is God trying to teach us a lesson on humility, perseverance, and trust? You just think you are in control humans, however there are forces that are beyond your control. You are not in charge here. Hug your…

Day 47

What’s Love Got to Do with It? Everything The word Love is mentioned in the Bible over 300 times and 190 in the Quran. Hindus have five separate words for love. Hinduism has a beautiful story about the origins of love. In the beginning, there was a ultimate being named Purusha. This being was without…

Day 46

Sometimes I feel like I am floating in a sea hanging on a life preserver. I am not alone. Everywhere I look there is another author floating by on a boat, raft, kayak, or yacht. We are all clambering to get to the land of readers. Some maliciously pushing each other off their vessels and…
