Write Hope with a Story

Write Hope with a Story

At a recent trade show in Paris, Texas, I explained my love for words and discussed details about some of the 28 books I’ve written with a mother of two girls, who bought several copies. One of the girls, who must have been seven or thereabout, exclaimed, “You wrote all of these books?” Before I could answer, she shook her head and replied, “Doesn’t your head hurt?” 10/23/2024 09:01 AM

Tick tock, not Tik Tok

Whether you prefer “live and let live” or “live and let die” there is a lot of wisdom in knowing that one of the best personal policies you might have is to stay away from the gossipmongers and to not interject yourself into other people’s lives and problems. 10/16/2024 09:04 AM

A Song. A Trench Coat. And the Old Rugged Cross

A Song. A Trench Coat. And the Old Rugged Cross

The man stood near the street sign, wrapped in a trench coat, as I drove through the intersection, his eyes following me and mine gazing at him. I had plans to deliver some drinks to my homeless friends, who lingered in a group at the next corner, so I kept going. After much laughter and chatting, the group dispersed, and I drove back up the same street. That’s when I noticed a guitar case resting upright by the stop sign, waiting for someone to come back and claim it. 10/16/2024 09:03 AM

Letter to the Editor

I grew up a stone’s throw away from the Sulphur River in northern Franklin County. As a child I was always struck by how wild and untouched it seemed to be. With the exception of roads that crossed it out of necessity, it looked unchanged from centuries ago. 10/09/2024 09:03 AM

Community

There is a lot to be said about the value of community. Whether it be a resounding response to a local fundraiser, a meal chain for a family in need, or a local church making beds for kids, the word “community” around here hits just a little harder. 10/09/2024 09:03 AM

A moment in the parking lot

A moment in the parking lot

The bearded man stopped me in the shelter’s parking lot. His face seemed weighed down by troubles, or so it seemed, maybe those he could no longer carry alone. As he approached, he began to unload his story, each word falling heavy. He hoped I held the answer he sought—a bus ticket to another town. 10/09/2024 09:02 AM
