Construction Ahead

I could see “under construction” signs for miles. They had been posted for at least two months before the construction actually began. I enjoyed driving down this particular road because there was always less traffic. However, I knew all that would change once the construction project started. There would be slow moving traffic, more noise, […]

Have a Seat

Have a Seat

I was seated in an office on the fourth floor that had a beautiful view of the landscape below. The entire wall to the outside was made of glass. After a few minutes, the lady I was waiting on came in and sat behind her desk. As l was complimenting her about the view, I […]

Don’t Mop Me In

I really had a taste for some banana nut bread all week. I decided to stop by this little coffee shop I know. They really have some great banana nut bread that tastes homemade. As I walked up to the register to place my order, an employee began mopping the floor. I hoped that I […]

The Missing Bank Deposit

My eyes bucked a few times as I replied, “What do you mean you don’t see a deposit for $3,000?”   “No, I don’t see your deposit for $3,000,” the banker responded.   My eyes bucked again. I had made a deposit at the bank for a relative. They instructed me that once the check […]

What a Job

The other day, I noticed something that was quite funny to me.  A security guard was sitting in a chair under a shade tree sleeping. Yes, sleeping on the job, right in broad daylight. It was obvious that he had been asleep for some time. His head was all the way back on the chair […]

Oh No, Stopped Up Again?

Trickle, trickle, trickle. That’s how the water was slowly draining from the sink in my bathroom. It seemed like it took forever for the water to drain out. I needed something to get rid of whatever was blocking the water flow. I went to the store and purchased a liquid drain opener to clear up […]

What was That?

What was That?

My friend was telling me today about a very unexpected experience she had on her way to meet me. Not long after she entered the freeway, she heard something fall off of her truck. As she looked in her rear view mirror, she saw paper after paper flying up in the air and landing all […]

Don’t Let Go

This Week’s Scripture “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on the earth.” (Deuteronomy 28: 1, NIV)   I was in the store when I heard a mother tell her son, “Hold […]

Moving Day

This Week’s Scripture “On this night the Lord kept His promise to bring His people out of the land of Egypt…” (Exodus 12:42, NLT) It is exciting to me to watch people moving into a new or better place. I noticed as I opened the window blinds, a U-Haul moving truck in the driveway next […]

Return Receipt Requested

I tried many times to contact two people that owned money for an item that they were renting from me. However, they refuse to respond or surrender the property. What was my next step? Well, after they would not return my phone calls, I sent them a letter with a “return receipt request” and another […]
