The Love of God
By Brenda Jackson
To what can you compare the love of God? Should we dare to compare it to the love of our life? Or even with the love a mother has for her child? We dare not! God’s love holds no bars to any love that anyone has experienced.
The Possum Whisperer
By Kathi Macias
I’ve worn a lot of hats in my life, but I never thought I’d wear one that read “Possum Whisperer.” But following a bizarre encounter in my kitchen, the name seems appropriate.
My husband, Al, and I had just stepped outside onto the patio when we spotted an ugly, furry creature streak past us and into the shrubbery. We looked at one another and spoke one word: “Rat”.
Bear Prayer
"Keep praying, honey," my father told me as we sat at the campground picnic table. It was the longest prayer I think I ever prayed. Out of the corner of his eye, my dad had seen a black bear come near our tent, just as I had begun to say grace over our hotdogs and macaroni salad. He knew as long as I prayed everyone in the family would keep their eyes closed, and thus remain calm and safe. Eventually, the bear left and daddy allowed me to finish my prayer. My dad knew just what to do to keep everyone calm in the face of potential danger, and our Heavenly Father knows, too.

"The British are coming! The British are coming!""Batten down the hatches!""All hands, man your battle stations!"Warnings which echo through the ages. A similar cry rings throughout my household once a month.
Clutter
One of my big projects this year was organizing the clutter in our butler pantry/office. I've read a humorous article about clutter, illustrating how our messes tend to run our lives. We think we are mastering clutter, when really we are just making piles of it, or moving it from one place to another. Everyone has a certain amount of clutter, whether it is a junk room, a junk closet, or a junk drawer.
