LEROY
LEROY Our flight was delayed an hour and a half at the Dallas airport, so we wouldn’t arrive home until after midnight. We decided to venture around the concourse to find something to eat. We had Dickies BBQ on the way out a few days before. Not in the mood for Dickies again, the onlyContinue reading “LEROY”
MEMORIES
Something I noticed about my mom in her last years battling Alzheimer’s and other health problems was her ability to remember things that happened long ago while forgetting the simple things in the present.

TALK
Good Morning! Hope you’re all having a good one so far. I woke up feeling like I might be trying to “catch” something; headache and achiness. It feels like a good YouTube tutorial day. A post I read this morning reminded me that years ago I was quiet as a young person but in ChristContinue reading “TALK”

MERCY
Today at the grocery store, I was standing in the tea aisle when a man walked by with his frail wife pushing the cart. He politely said, “Excuse me, ma’am,” when he went in front of me and then impatiently and not so nicely asked his wife, “Is this what you want? WHAT?”. I’ve saidContinue reading “MERCY”
