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 AFTER CHURCH

Jan. 25, 2015 After Church Yesterday after walking out of church, I was almost to my car when a young lady who was walking by my car started talking to me.  She said she had been invited to “that church” sometime in the past but hadn’t gone.  So I re-invited her. Then I told her […]
