Some people say that we are who we are because of our environment and genes, but things have happened to me that lead me to believe that there is a something more directing our lives on this small planet. There are connections that are hard to explain. Connections with the people we meet and the places we live and visit. When I paused and looked back on my life I found lots of things that seemed divinely directed. A lot of them were not necessary about me, but about others and I only playe...

When you tackle a job,when you take on the mob,do you give it your all,or put things off till fall?When you're feeling low and not really with it,dig up those old projects and push the limit,listen to that inter voice that says do a little better,get an early start and show everyone you not a quitter.Set a goal with steps that are quite small,take each one in stride so not to fall,getting older brings a sort of urgency...

Through the hole, Matthew heard voices in the distance. He whispered to the others to not make any noises, then he crawled into the hole.

Unexplained lights on the side of Blood Mountain were only the beginning of strange things that stirred up the residents of the small east Tennessee community. Matthew, Clair, John and Joann, the characters of "Drawn to Darkness", try to solve the mystery on Blood Mountain. ...

Did you ever wonder why we enter dark holes in the ground? Could it be an instinct from our distance past, or just plain curiosity? We once lived in caves and some still do. From the distance past we find that man has always used caves. For shelter or the safety of the rock that surrounds us close like our mother’s womb. There is a strange confront that we feel when lying in a tight passage or sitting in a dark cave passage. Maybe it is because of the quietness of the place and just being ...

Brian sat on the pew listening to his father preach, just like every other Sunday. The voice he heard did not sound like his fathers, a voice he had not heard before. "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" Brian understood that the "house" referred to him, and he stood up in the middle of his father's sermon and went to the altar. The ...

In 1984, while visiting relatives in Tennessee, they told me of their water supply, a pump house at the base of a large hill where they pumped water from a cave lake located below. A previous owner had used cinder blocks to block the entrance to a cave in the side of the hill and built a small dam to back up the stream flowing from the cave. As caving was my hobby, I became very interested and at once wanted to investigate this underground lake. This was too good to pass up. I persuaded on...

Looking ahead to see what the future will bring,finding that we're no better than when we began.Stumbling along in need of a song to sing,life is a journey that we struggle to plan.Looking ahead for another surprise,good or bad we'll take it in stride.Learning experiences to open our eyes,helping us with choices we must decide.Looking ahead for a better life,some place that we can call home.A place that's calm and free...
