Backyard fruits
Usually a month or so after my blackberries ripen the fig tree starts producing. I checked on it this morning and they are starting to grow. I wait until they are dark purple.

Mr. Gray
In the late 1980s and early 90s when I attended College Park United Brethren Church in Huntington, Indiana, I admired the role of the ushers dressed in pinstripe sky blue suits who carried large wooden platters with brass rims and royal purple felted bottoms to collect the offering from the large congregation by walking down […]

Cue the Code
My inspiration for this came after reading Khürt’s post from 2015, Writing at 160 beats per minute.

I like warm and quiet coffee shops where I don’t need to put in earbuds to soften the noise level that is causing me to be counter productive. I especially like coffee shops where younger generations mingle where the music is not so loud that I cannot hear my friend’s expressions. The coffee must be […]

Dear friend…
My friend, Jesus Christ the son of God, has plenty of time to meet and hear your needs and wants. He is overjoyed when you seek him out. You only need to call on him and no fancy prayer is required. Not only when times are tough for you but also when days are carefree. […]

Hiking Badin Lake Trail in Uwharrie National Forest
Last week I drove an hour and forty minutes north to Troy, North Carolina, to reach Uwharrie National Forest. Along the way, all on back roads, I saw many old barns and houses I could have stopped to photograph. A friend had just hiked a portion of the Badin Lake Trail in the last week, […]
