Warm coastal areas are a perfect environment for mold and mildew. Even the best-built buildings can have spaces where these little fungi can get a foothold and grow, despite efforts to keep them clean. But other buildings with leaky window frames, poorly sealed concrete walls, inadequate insulation, or site flooding can be eaten up with … Continue reading Holiness
As I write this, it’s a drizzly, dreary first day of January on the Gulf Coast. Although I’m still dealing with a few technical issues, I can finally write blog posts again for my WordPress site. That being the case, I’ll show you the current state of my garden. I’ll start with the top photo … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: January 1, 2022
I haven't posted anything new here for about six months. (Have you missed me?) It wasn't my choice. I was unable to bring up the page for writing a new blog post.

Just look … Continue reading The Reluctant Disciple and The Homeless Woman

But through the eyes of faith, and as a metaphor for greater things, it’s a big deal. Last week I was kvetching about looking … Continue reading Praise Report: Lost, but Now Found
They say, “The only sure things in life are death and taxes.” I have to add one more: change. That’s so huge, and I don’t know how “they” missed it. It may be disconcerting sometimes, but nothing stays the same in this world. Get used to it. I’m sure you can quickly rattle off many … Continue reading Ch Ch Changes (apologies to David Bowie)
