Bucky the Goat

Bucky was our pet goat. We kept the brown and white, slit-eyed, non-horned bovine chained like a dog to a large wooden box in the woods, near our woodpile. The goat box was large enough for Bucky to move about comfortably inside. He had a trough built under a window that my step-father cut-out with [...]

Kissing Cousins

Snow was in the process of changing over to rain. Pellets of sleet mixed with snowflakes larger than quarters as the pearly white ground slowly started to fade, revealing a slate stone surface of the driveway.

Tongue Tied Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin was a member of the Wasilla Assembly of God Holy Trinity Church for twenty-years.
The political diva turned her back to the Holy Spirit just to run for office and changed worship venues. Obama did the same. We all have backslidden, but very few have committed the sin that cannot be forgiven– blasphemy of [...]

The Crow’s Nest

 
 

In the smart little town of Three Springs, college kids are hired to supervise a summer youth program known as ‘the playground’. It takes a village to raise a child and a playground to keep them busy. There is a baseball field, swing sets and lots of trees to climb. Limestone caverns are found near [...]
