“Whoa, that’s quite a bruise. Looks like a belt buckle hit you pretty hard,” said Holey Wellworn.
“Belt buckle?”
“Yes, it left quite an impression on your heel.”
As Holey’s comforting touch eased Jym’s pain he realized he lay crumpled in a chilly, scummy water puddle. His last recollection was swishing luxuriously in a warm, soapy clothes washer.
Now he was…where?…was this the post-life secret?

After many years I’m finally coming out of the imagination into reality!
Let me introduce myself. My name is Cochran Cornell. People refer to me as cantankerous, but I cannot understand why. I’m not difficult or irritating! How can I be considered mean-spirited? Why, I’m most often like Grover (more…)
This piece was written about my granddaughter when she was three years old. She’s now ten. It’s amazing how much less I know as we both get older. Will I ever reach the age of wisdom?
My mother once told me that as a person gets older they realize their knowledge is minimal. It’s funny, but my granddaughter, Jordan, taught me the same thing.

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 46:4 Even in your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. (NIV)
DEVOTION: I look in the mirror and see yet another gray hair, and I quickly grab an old towel and my bottle of age-fixator. Then I apply (more…)

During this phase of my life my title is photo/journalist, author. My laptop is a tool for writing and research. It has become a necessary tool, allowing me to work at home, in libraries, in courthouses.
