Caveat lector: Let the Reader Beware!
This may be a bit gross for some prim and proper people, but I feel it must be said!

But shockers of all … Continue reading Caveat lector: Let the Reader Beware!
2025
January 1 "O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with … Continue reading 2025

When God’s Answer Hurts!

I gasped as soon as I noticed! … Continue reading When God’s Answer Hurts!

A Pig’s Snout
Every excursion to the farm in Newport, North Carolina, brings an up-close adventure in pig life where the smells are strong and distasteful!
