  • Bad week and good news

    The other day a co-worker posted on Facebook that it had been the week from hell.

    We had all felt it. It was as if a black cloud hovered over us, raining down all kinds of bad.

    We had made mistakes. Tempers flared. Fingers pointed.

    Cranky people called, which didn’t help our own crankiness.

    We scowled. We skulked. We wished we were anywhere but here.

    It was one b-a-d week.

    One of my favorite children’s books is “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day,” by Judith Viorst.

  • Measuring the worth of a bird

    I’m not a huge fan of birds.

    One time I told someone birds are the reason God created BB guns and sling shots.

    Kidding. Just kidding. Don’t send me letters.

  • God takes over when GPS directions aren’t enough

    Which way?

    I am notorious for my lack of a sense of direction.

    Just the other day one of our photographers at the newspaper caught me going south when I should’ve been going north to an assignment.

    He laughed about it, as did I. But there have been many times I’ve given him wrong directions to an assignment and he hasn’t laughed.

    Even with a GPS and written directions I still get it wrong six out of 10 times.

  • Getting back to the garden

    When we first moved to Florida, our oldest daughter was 14 and not happy about the move.

    Being 14, she cried. A lot.

    One of her many places of tears was Sunken Gardens, the old Florida attraction in St. Petersburg. It’s supposedly the oldest commercial tourist attraction on Florida’s west coast and one of the first botanical gardens in the U.S.

    In 1903, George Turner, Sr., a plumber and avid gardener, bought the site, which included a shallow lake, 10 feet below sea level. He drained it and planted a “sunken” garden.

    “The Leader as Shepherd” is the topic of a Christian leadership conference May 19 in Bardstown sponsored by Nelson Baptist Association and the Kentucky Baptist Convention.

    The Call Conference is “for all Christian leaders and those aspiring to be leaders in the church,” said Matthew Spandler-Davison, lead pastor of Bardstown Community Fellowship. “We want to explore how a call to Christian leadership is a call to care for God’s people.”

  • A desperate letter from Lisa

    Sometimes I get letters or e-mails from people that make me want to spit tacks.

    I’m not talking about critical letters. (Those make me want to hide under my covers, suck my thumb and cry.)

    I’m talking about letters from people, from fellow Christians, who are sure God isn’t pleased with them and who are desperate for a how-to to help them get back on track, to finally be faithful to God.
