How to Change the World
Hey friend, The speaking season continues to roll. I'm fresh off of a trip to Hatch, New Mexico and I may have left a piece of my heart with those fine people. It was a travel experience for the books, including a 2.5 hour tarmac wait, last minute gate changes and terminal runs, cancellations, and -- wait for it-- one flight where the pilot said,
I am my people! And some inspiration to boot!
Surprise! It's me! I know. Back in May I told you I was taking a hiatus and I'd be back in September. Missed that by about five weeks, didn't I? All I can tell you is that September was a total blur around here. The beloved farmer has been trying to harvest (amidst ongoing weather challenges) and I've been on the road every weekend of
Let me help you find your footing in this shaky world!
Ken Ken the Baby Friend’s expression has a lot to do with Honey, the all-important stuffy she’s clutching by the throat. The stuffy who was temporarily lost before he was found and led everyone to breathe a collective sigh of relief. Honey won’t always be able to provide the security Kennedy will need. We know this. You do too. We all know she’ll face days that
The Final Not So Final Chapter of Sierra’s Story
We're here! The final episode of Sierra's Story! Unless it isn't
Chapter 15 of Sierra’s Story and a Video Lesson with Shellie
Happy Thursday afternoon to you! Here in northeast Louisiana we're enjoying an uncharacteristic break in the stifling temps and humidity. It's much appreciated, too! Although it occurs to me that this revelation will not help to explain my appearance in the accompanying video. Oh, well, I had something on my heart I wanted to say to y'all face to face, or at least as close
Deep Diving with the Apostle John
I’ve been in a deep dive with the Apostle John this summer. I’ve explored his gospel start to finish and I need to level with you: John has nothing to say about deconstructed faith. John doesn’t speak to the idea of anyone using human understanding to take their faith apart and build it back into something more comfortable because broken church people have disillusioned them. John has
Chapter Fourteen of Sierra’s Story and a Mexican Chicken Remake
I had the folks up for lunch today, also known as Papa and The Queen of Us All. I wanted to see them before the beloved farmer and I pushed off in the morning for a little anniversary get-a-way. This sweet hunk of hard-working man has been my life-long love for 40 years come August 1st, and I still can't get enough time with him.
Looking for Home
I pulled over to the shoulder and checked for cars before helping this fellow across the road earlier. I’m sure he was grateful, but he was in far too big a hurry to pause for a decent pic. I hope his journey continues safely. Learned something new about box turtles recently. Did you know a box turtle will live it’s entire life within a one mile
About those impossible things…
Is it a squash? Is it a cucumber? Is it a squashcumber! Ding,ding, ding! We have a winner! I know. I’ve done my research. I’m aware that every expert out there says this can’t happen. It’s totally okay to plant squash beside cucumbers because they can absolutely unequivocally under no circumstances cross pollinate. Except they did here on the banks of Lake Providence. Feel free to spend the
Chapter 13 of Sierra’s Story with Shellie’s Thoughts on Fallen Man, Flags, and Freedom
Hey friends! I hope life is treating you kindly. This week's newsletter is going to be brief. That dislocated finger I told y'all about last week turned out to be a bad fracture. I'm endeavoring to type with said finger buddy taped to the next one and enclosed in a hand brace. Tomorrow morning I'll find out if surgery is required. God is still good.
