Applause
Here is part 2 of 2 Skating the Skate, Running the Race. In my last post I wrote about the disappointing loss in the final event of men’s figure skating in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Jeremy Abbot had won it before, in fact, he had won that event three times. He has what it …
Skating the Skate, Running the Race
This post is about figure skating, the skater, and the results. The next post will be about the grandstand participants. So, this is part 1 of 2. This has been the week of U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The two top winners in each category represent the United States in the World Championships. Of course, it …
Thank you!
When I opened my mail box this morning, it was stuffed with comments! I thank you from the bottom of my “coffee can” heart! I also thank those of you who reblogged. You are exceptionally kind. While I do express my heart in these blog scribblings, that is exactly what it is: scribblings. I am far …
Coffee Can Theology
The coffee can is storage for multiple items; its diversity is far reaching. My mom had a print by a Tennessee artist, Lee Roberson, called Home Sweet Home. A robin is building a nest in an old Maxwell House coffee can. God’s creatures even find uses for those discarded cans. My dad had a line …

When the Lights go Out
302 words takes about a minute to read. I hope this will be a minute used wisely as you read this. Yesterday a snow storm hit an area of the country that does not deal well with snow. I used to live in Sevier County and understand. The Great Smoky Mountains are scenic and draw …
Teeth, Dentist, and Wisdom
The Shepherd’s presence in the dental office. This morning I made a visit to the dentist. Now, I really do like my dentist; he is a very nice guy. He really could advertise gentle dental and hold true to his advertising. I just really don’t put going to the dentist at the top of a …
Observing Hank Hamster
After hamster sitting Jack Hamster for my grandson, I decided to get one of my own. Meet Hank! I suppose this will be the first of many posts about Hank. He is just a baby and he has absolutely no compunction about letting me know that I am not his mommy. It will take me …
