Good morning... "If you could have one superpower, what would it be?" the ice-breaker question asks. What superpower would you choose? Like a kernel of corn, my best answer pops in my brain. If I was given one superpower, I would choose to possess the power to shrink or to expand the moment at hand, on any given day, [...]
Good morning... As we savor this Sunday, some college football fans wake elated, others wake frustrated, yet all of us wake up to witness the presence God.

Good morning... "Aging is really, really hard," 92 year old Betty Skinner admits as we share lunch in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Her eyesight has dimmed. Her hearing is weak.

Good morning... This post will reach us after 8:00 am when fresh morning messages are normally scheduled to grace our inbox at 3:00 am. Why? Why is this post late? Because sometimes it is difficult and time consuming for me to put words to God's new morning light dawning from within me. Today is one of those late blooming sunrises. [...]
Good morning... Nosegay. When is the last time you heard the word nosegay? Tickling my attention, this weird word appeared in our recent post God's Message In My Dream.
