Ketchup
Funny word, ketchup. Tomato-based sauce used around the world. And then there’s its alternate, catsup. Different word, same meaning. Then there’s “catch-up” - as in being behind, then catching up with others, or the target quantity, or similar. Today is Saturday, but I’m at work for a few hours to catch-up. More work than hours …
Super Power?

Sunday Night Football. As a kid I watched a lot of football. I like the game. I like watching, too. But so many other things have rushed to the fore over the years, decades, I don’t watch so much. Just not the time. But Sunday night I tried to watch. Tried for a bit. Tried …

Dishes and laundry and honey-do: chase. Dream of a race, gun goes off, I can’t run fast enough, slow off the line, sloth-like: …
Dark and Light
Like each day, this year, dark and light. Just when the darkness seems endless, a glimmer in the distance, hope. Faith helps. Sometimes. Other times not so; much too much it seems all the struggle and challenge and unexpected twists. Run through, stay true, to the path, the course, the way. The Way, and they …
Courage, Strength, Trust
These traits emerge anew. Found in words from Psalm 33. I discovered the verse via my cousin who lives in western New York. I think I need to read the whole psalm; thanks for the inspiration, cuz. “Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.” - Psalm 33:20. So simple; …
Story Telling
Do you like to tell stories? Like to listen to them? Both? Listening to my daughter tell a story recently, it occurred to me... If you’re a parent, listening to stories is a key skill for the vocation. The more you listen to your kids, the more stories they tell, the more you learn about …
