I found Saturday blessings in a cup today. When I was a young boy, Saturday blessings happened every week. That’s because it was the first day of the weekend away from prison…I mean…school. I don’t know about you, but there was something special about Saturdays. They were filled with endless possibilities and imagination. And once I was old enough to ride my big-boy bike, it … Read the rest…
The sad demise of Saturday morning cartoons Have you noticed how Saturday morning cartoons got pushed aside for more “educational” and “financially viable” programs?

You can be strong in grace. But not just any grace. The meaningful things in life don’t come easy. I hope that doesn’t burst any bubbles for you…because it’s the cold, hard truth. Even if it seems like someone else has it easy in life, I promise you they don’t. They might have some parts easier than you, but the things that matter most won’t … Read the rest…
Grace To The Humble Do you envy people when it seems like they have a lot more than you? Guess what they might not have more than you. In fact, they might have much less, and they might not ever have as much as you. Looks can be deceiving. And what you see in this world doesn’t last forever. But grace lasts forever.
