N: Is There Such Thing?

With the A2Z blog that I'm doing each week, we have reached the letter N. It begs the question: 


How nice is too nice? Maybe the better question would be, “Is there such a thing as too nice?” Well, yeah, if it’s disingenuous, but I don’t think sincerity can be too nice.

I don’t think I’m in the minority here, but I’ve been

Weekend-spiration:

I had a blog for this Far Side (by Gary Larson) cartoon all written and buttoned up, but I just can't use it. See I looked at this and focused on the bitterness of the comment. I know Christians aren't always viewed with smiles and welcomed greetings, but focusing on that just isn't my thing.

That doesn't mean it's not truth. Jesus told us that we would be hated because He was hated. It it what it is.

But I don't want to dwell in it.

I'd rather talk about the picture itself, birds traveling in their little design, sort of like the bumper art on so many of our cars.

There, that's where I want to go with this post! Those little fish bumper stickers that you see on people's cars. I have a friend that has 2 big fish and 3 little fish representing their family. Stinkin' cute idea, but my bumper isn't big enough for my family. And I have a friend with 7 kids - forgetaboutit!

People: Characters in Skin

Beautiful Sky Ranch, in East Texas, provided my summer occupations during my college years.  I remember meeting a guy down there … I wish I could remember his name . . . I’ll just call him Cole, but I don’t think that wasn’t it. 

Anyway, before I met Cole, he was described to me by one of my friends. “He’s really cute, and he talks kinda slow, and when he says, ‘How are you?’ he really means it.”
