The cowboy way
I have found in recent years with the barren desert I find on television I tend to gravitate towards the tried and true westerns that dominated the film screen and the television screens.

Why can’t I find you?
Have you ever went where you thought something was and when you got there, I golly, it wasn’t. I am amazed at how this phenomena can plaque our thoughts and erode a day into loss of effectiveness. I know I put it there. That’s my safe place. When was the last time I used it? […]
Writing yields thousands of words
The written word was forced upon me as a child. How many spelling tests did I endure in my early years of schooling. I was so frustrated by them in first grade they gave me my first lesson in character. I just couldn’t seem to get the spelling into my head, so I would slip […]

Tarry a little longer
I recently sat in the pew for a funeral listening to the preachers and speakers as they focused on the amazing life of a friend, colleague and co-author – the late Ringgold Mayor Joe Barger. We spent nearly a year working weekly creating his autobiography – Testing the Metal of Life. One line from the […]
Sometimes a statement is just that
Conversations have always been a two-way street. One person says something, another returns.
