We haven't the money, so we've got to
think.
Samuel Rutherford
I'm thinking today. I might as well be, because I sure don't have any money to go out and spend. In fact, I'm sitting here right now looking at a huge check for thousands of dollars that our builder is going to pick up later this morning [...]
I mean, it's not a big celebrity sighting or anything, although Bobby Valentine's interview the past couple of days ranks right up there, but I've just come from my infamous "Site Meter" where I was checking on the hits overnight and came across a couple of interesting ones.The first was from the city of Madrid, [...]
"One of the best things I've found about blogging
is meeting people like you who will be a listening friend with no
strings attached."Charlie Whitfield I just pulled out my word/phrase for the day from my fruits of the Spirit post (here),
if you remember, and it is "Be quiet; lead a quiet life." I Thess.
3:11. That sounds easy [...]
I don't know how many of you readers are also bloggers, but I think you all will agree that blogging is a brutal discipline. It's tough to keep up with writing blog posts all the time and even tougher to keep up with reading others' blog posts. And I find myself falling behind more and [...]

You know - things like grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Bologna (okay, make that baloney) sandwiches and hot dogs. Tom comes home for lunch every [...]

Let's talk trash today.No, I don't mean the current fad term "trash talking." I mean talking about trash. As in cans. Trash cans.Tom and I seem to generate a lot of trash. (As opposed to garbage, which we differentiate from trash. It's that generally wet and slimy refuse from food, etc, while trash is more [...]
The huge sign plywood sign was the most prominent feature of the place. It was painted white with the words "LOST and FOUND LOUNGE" hand lettered with broad strokes of black paint and set out by the four lane roadway outside Waveland, Mississippi, one of the most poor and devastated areas hit by Katrina.It was [...]
We didn't go in, of course. But I kind of wanted to. I was curious
whether it lived up to its name that if you came in lost you could be
found.I thought it would be an excellent name for a church.
Wouldn't you think so? Now think about it. Those who are lost looking
for their way home. [...]
[Note: This was my very first "Wind Vane" story the day (on March 1, after two weeks of blogging back in February 2005) I changed the name of my blog from "Meandering Footprints" to "Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles (thus the first comment from then following). It is from my would be book, so [...]
