Taking the Opportunity

Last updated on: March 31, 2022 at 7:06 am By Mark Williams

I just want to say up front, grandchildren are wonderful. But I also want to say grandchildren can be exhausting. But it is an opportunity for me to, well, take the opportunity. Read more

LAWN CUTTING DAY!!!

Last updated on: March 23, 2022 at 7:39 am By Mark Williams

LAWN CUTTING DAY! Tomorrow, Thursday, is Lawn Cutting Day. Sure, most cut their lawns on the weekend, but since I have been able to retire, I cut the lawn on Thursday, hoping to get it in the trash for pick up on Friday. It’s no small task-Lawn Cutting Day, or LCD for those of us making up the name. I change from sneakers to boots, cancel my bike ride, finding my ear buds for music- there’s a lot of prepping...

Music Can Get Us There

Last updated on: March 18, 2022 at 7:05 am By Mark Williams

Dad, uses all things for good. He can take a broken heart and not only mend it, but cause it to mend others. He can take us on a hike and we find a stream and there, we find peace. Peace, maybe we haven't had in a while. Read more

Sometimes, We Repeat Things

Last updated on: March 6, 2022 at 6:24 am By Mark Williams

Sometimes, we bounce. Sometimes, in that bounce, we don't bounce well. Its life. Sometimes, that bounce will hurt, and you might hurt for a while. Maybe it’s physical. A lot of times, it's a mental hurt. That third marriage you thought was perfect, wasn’t. In all cases, you need to let stuff heal. Patience is not necessarily a virtue of mine. But I am getting better at it. Abba has taught me patience. Read more

Floundering or Living Large?

Last updated on: March 4, 2022 at 11:42 am By Mark Williams

I think we all wonder if we, where we are at, are sometimes floundering. Read more

Sometimes, Abba Lets Us Bounce!

Last updated on: February 22, 2022 at 8:02 am By Mark Williams

Sometimes, Abba lets us, well, bounce! His protection seems like it might not be protection at all. But it is. He saves us from ourselves, and when we ask, Hey, where were you? He tells us He was there, and Oh child, it was going to be so much worse if I didn’t intervene. Read more

Where is God?

Last updated on: February 13, 2022 at 1:04 pm By Mark Williams

WHERE IS GOD? In today’s world, it is sometimes hard to see God’s hand, God’s perfection, His deliverance, His protection. Where is God? We find ourselves crying out, time and time again. We are fearful for ourselves, feeling adrift with no one to protect us. He is there. He is everywhere. A few days ago in Phoenix, in the middle of the night, someone had a nightmare manifest itself. So, they called those who handle nightmares-real nightmares. The caller told... Read more

Turn Four is Our Finest Hour!

Last updated on: February 10, 2022 at 7:44 am By Mark Williams

THIS COULD BE OUR FINEST HOUR! In life and in life’s partnerships, chances are one of the partners will go before the other, leaving the other behind to cope with the world-alone. Sometimes, if it is way deep in life’s seasons when one leaves, sometimes the other just folds up the tent and quits, leaving within months after their partner. That didn’t happen with me, but I can understand it. From what I’ve seen and experienced, for the second partner... Read more

I Don’t Want To….

Last updated on: February 6, 2022 at 7:07 am By Mark Williams

…DON’T WANT TO…. I voted with myself and have made a life decision about, well, the remainder of my life. I do NOT want to be an Olympic Winter athlete. First of all, let’s talk about the obvious. It’s cold. Everywhere is cold. Even in the venues which are contained inside like the arenas. Have you ever been to a hockey game? It’s cold enough to freeze your nubbins off. You need a parka to go to the... Read more
