Waiting Well

October 1, 2015 By Verna Bowman 14 Comments

Don’t we hate to wait? Especially behind the dear old woman who can’t find her wallet in the grocery line, parked tight in a traffic jam, reading old magazines in the doctor’s office, and hanging on the phone while listening to the elevator version of Hey Jude four times.

July 13, 2015 By Verna Bowman 8 Comments

There’s been much said about flags lately, so it brought to mind the white flag that represents surrender.  There are certain times when we are called to surrender.  Have you ever prayed a desperate prayer - one from the gut of despair?
