I smelled the terribly treacherous beast known for its bright orange color and terrible, nut gathering habits. MUST. GET. SQUIRREL. My nose sought out the ground as I followed the […]

The Lesson of The Cold: An Indian Story.
The snow crunched as my moccasins covered the frosty ground in footsteps. Silence filled the woods where I walked. I stopped and listened. My dog, Mowli, pawed at the ground then froze with me and listened to sounds only a dog could hear. But I was listening to the silence. The woods were deathly still, […]
One Waterfall, a Million Atoms, and a Very Mighty God.
Today’s story, article, essay, whatever you feel inclined to call it, is nothing like what I’ve normally posted except, I guess, my gemstone poems. It is a post all it’s own. And it’s about God, this world He made, and just how shocking they both are! <> Have you ever been seriously shocked? Like so […]

Another Day in the Amazon.
In the last post I wrote about a missionary in the Amazon rainforest. Like you might expect, it was raining. And the story continues today as we find out more about last week’s missionary. The hot, Brazilian air filtered through the open windows as fans spun furiously in a vain attempt to cool off the simmering afternoon. […]
Raindrops in the Amazon.
Rain. It dripped over the jungle leaves bending them under its weight. They released the droplets one by one creating a steady, rhythmic dripping. The jungle animals played a band of natural instruments that sang through the afternoon air. A bug crawling up the wall of her bamboo hut caught her attention as it’s color brightened the wet, […]
