I have been struggling with how to broach an indelicate personal subject with the polite words needed in a public platform such as this, but I don’t know if there is a delicate way to say that my cat Tony has fallen deeply, madly and inappropriately in love with me. It’s a bit startling. For both of us, I think. I get it, though, right? This is the first time he’s felt this safe and content with a human. He doesn’t know what to make of this happy feeling. He’s always retained his early lessons for feral cat survival:...

You know, Lord, grass is turning green in our corner of the earth again. It’s been said that grass is the least pretentious of this world’s everyday plants and the most important to mankind.

It’s been written that all the grasses, be they corn, wheat, barley, or oats are perfection, having eliminated nonessentials, but we know it is Your gift, Lord, unique to them. Stems seldo...

Our righteous deeds on this earth will follow us to heaven. The positions of authority that we are given in heaven and the treasures that we have stored up for ou...
