With Each Passing Moment
The first winter and spring of living in Oklahoma have trickled away. I say spring, even though it’s still only May, partly because it’s half-way through, and partly because most of the winter was so mild it felt more like spring then winter. Not all the winter was mild. We had snowfall one weekend in… Read More With Each Passing Moment
The Last Cousin’s Story?
We were supposed to get together at the end of the year, and that never went through. I do have a story for the last set of rules, but have heard of no other contributions. Is this the end? Is it a lull? Is it a parting of ways and directions, with writing to form… Read More The Last Cousin’s Story?
Cousin Stories…Slowly

Who are my enemies? Those who hate the LORD, who are His enemies. All humanity is either on the… Read More Psalm 139:21-22

“People in the Car” Results
At the end of May the “People in the Car” inspired stories were shared. Sorry it’s taken so long to get them up–I know at least one person is impatiently waiting. Here are the stories from that set of rules given to me so far. The People in the Car (Sleeping Princess sequel) by MJ… Read More “People in the Car” Results

It’s not just the promises and blessings… Read More Singing Statutes
