We Thank Thee

Together Time


Inviting friends
Anticipating family
Traveling the highway
Passing your brother
A house full of family
Cuddling a baby
Gathered together
Cooking potatoes
Baking green beans
Eating turkey
Drinking wine
Hugging good-bye
Till next year
Bon appetit!

Thanksgiving is bittersweet for me because my Dad died three years ago on this day.  We held a short memorial service that was led by an old friend of my Dad's.  They had been friends for over 50 years.  It was good to be together and to share in this memorable holiday.  Life always goes on!  And time never stops!  So make the most of everyday!  Take care!  :)

Roar!!!

Harlan Cohen

Dad's Expecting Too!


So I was in the bookstore recently and started reading bits of this book as some guys I know have been or are all becoming fathers...  This was a pretty interesting book.  It gives you insight into the male mind and what goes on in their brains when the little ones start showing up.  No more bun in the oven after a certain point, you know?  Life does go on.

Baby Tanka

Diaper Days


A red-faced baby...
crying in surprise because
out he popped with angst.
Diaper days are here to stay.
No more sleep for you?  You say!

This tanka is dedicated to my siblings who lately are having baby after baby it seems.  I get to babysit and play just like any doting aunt would.  However I also get to share in the loss of sleep at times.  And letting go of always getting my homework done, etc.  However it's not all baby's fault.  Work keeps me busy too!  And what a year this has been!

Strike a Pose

Deer Again


Yes Dear!
I know Dear!
Oh Dear Me!
What did I do Dear?
Don't Dear!
Be a Dear!
It's been ages Dear!
Why Dear?
Again Dear?
Deer Again!

You know what they say, the third deer's the charm.  No, but really dear!  Have a good night all!  Too many deer in the house.  And it's late!  Yawn!  Got to get those ZZZzzzz!!!

Plain Jane


You've all heard the story of the ugly ducking turned into a swan?  Well, this book is about a plain Jane that turns into a swan but with a twist.  I heard about this on the radio today.  We all have to grow up and face those difficult teen years and obviously Jane is not any different.  But see how different she is.

Heath Adamson

The Bush Always Burns


Heath Adamson is someone that had dealings with the occult prior to meeting Jesus.  Why not find out about his story?  What are you dealing with?  Drugs?  Occult?  Do you really know?

Bill Scott

The Day Satan Called


Halloween is done and gone...  however not so demons.  Have you ever encountered one?  Well, Bill Scott has and he wrote a book about it. 

I remember talking to someone at church one time and she told me she used to be a witch.  She told me that she can't watch Harry Potter any longer because she sees pentagrams floating out of the movies when she does.
