JOY IN THE ELEVATOR

It happened in an elevator in January of 2017. I came home from church today dressed as normal.  When I entered our apartment building I saw an African-American lady in the lobby with her beautiful chocolate-colored poodle.  I don’t know her name but I’ve said hi to her in the past.  We got on the […]

JOY WITH THE PIZZA DELIVERY GUY

Last night I finished a busy but rewarding week of work.  As I was driving home on the freeway I decided to reward myself by buying a pizza.  When I checked my Papa John’s phone app I delightfully discovered that I had qualified for a free pizza.  That made the idea even better. I ordered […]

Joy at the Toll Booth

A Toll Booth Missionary Opportunity in 15 Seconds! I pulled up to the toll booth on the Dulles Access road yesterday on my way to Herndon, Va.  I couldn’t help but notice a small picture of Jesus sitting in the window facing me as I pulled up.  The artwork looked Mormonish, so I paid my […]
