Relative Peace

A 60-year-old man, atop a John Deere tractor, charged at his 69-year-old brother-in-law who was harvesting hay astride his own tractor. The collision resulted in a damaged tire and the tractor-crasher’s arrest. One law-enforcement official commented, “We’ve responded on prior occasions to calls because of differences between the families.” While it’s a bit unclear what the man hoped to accomplish by confronting and crunching his brother-in-law, the story shows that family feuds can escalate to ridiculous levels if they’re not resolved. Abram and his nephew Lot needed to settle a family issue regarding farmland because the area where they lived...

I Can, I Can!

As I’m driving down the road, I thank God for this old van. Like me, it’s in its last days, But it sings, “I can! I can!” It gets thirsty for water, Steering fluid and even oil. The air conditioner won’t work, And it needs a heater coil. It has a good foundation. The tires are holding up. It even has a cupholder To hold one’s coffee cup. The seats are very comfortable, And the windshield wipers swipe, So I can really be thankful, And I have ceased to gripe. Everytime I drive this van, I just pray a little...

Grant comfort to those long forgotten. Help them to make a new start. Teach us to care for the hurting in body, in spirit and mind. Make us a better people; teach...

Worthless or Priceless

Worthless or Priceless I was driving my son to the sheltered workshop for the handicapped where he works a few days each week. My seventeen year old car was cruising along while the Spring sun shined down. The trees were budding and flowers were popping up along the side of the road. I looked over at my son who was humming along to a song on the radio. He turned his head, smiled and said, ” I love you Daddy.” I smiled back and said, “I love you too son.” The green light ahead turned yellow and I slowed to...

The Glory of Spring

The Glory of Spring I opened up the door this morning and did a little jig. I smiled at the falling rain even though the drops were big. Those drops didn’t discourage me as they fell on the window pane, before the dawn of sunshine I knew there’d be some rain For now the barren gardens are floating in muddy gloom, soon they’ll house the buds from where the flowers bloom. We’ve looked forward to a grand awakening that is happily in the works, a burst of new life from where the bare tree limb lurks. The snow has all...
