2026/02/04

You remember hearing and seeing the popular phrase, WWJD? “What Would Jesus Do.” If you do, very likely you also remember often seeing the mocking curl of the lip of someone in the vicinity. That sentence showed up everywhere and soon became trite and overused, and almost guaranteed to irritate anyone nearby. I can even remember hearing certain people as they would laugh and say, “WWJD … oh yeah, sure, me too. And I can give you a few ideas for your WWJD. But you probably ain’t gonna apprecia...

The night I didn't see coming

2026/02/04

Have you ever had something hit you completely out of the blue — something so unexpected it knocks you flat off your feet and turns your world upside down? That is exactly what happened to me on Jan. 21, around 3 a.m. I woke up with stomach pains. I thought it was maybe a virus. Within minutes, those pains escalated into something far more severe — something terrifying. I was on the floor unable to get up screaming for help. Thank God for a quick-thinking husband. Willie wanted to call an amb...

Reading myself into winter

Mother Nature has played quite a trick on us, hasn’t she? It is colder here than it has been in quite some time. I am wearing a lot of clothes today. I am just thankful that I have cold-weather clothes to put on. I am wearing a pair of heavy jeans, a turtleneck shirt, a heavy cotton sweater and a Sherpa-lined jacket. I also have on thick socks and high-top tennis shoes. I always wear my Ugg boots and a fleecy zip-up robe when I get out of bed in the morning, so I keep them handy. I have ...

A mirror has a tough job: To show you how fit, skinny or fat your body is. Your clothes have a tougher job, to make your body look good. Your body that is fit, skinny or … well, no need, you already have yourself categorized. A washing machine’s job is to clean those dirty clothes you’ve had on your fit, skinny or fat body. The water in your shower or bath is to remove the dirt from your fat, skinny or fit body. A mirror reflects the truth of our usually pretty sad situation. Clothes help us ...

As of 5 p.m. last Friday, qualifying ended for Alabama's May 19 Republican and Democratic Party primary election, meaning that, except for possible disqualifications, the fields are set. Apart from the gubernatorial election at the top of the GOP ballot, there is heightened uncertainty about who will represent their respective ballots in the November 3 statewide general election.

2026/01/28

Have you ever laid outside on a blanket or the hood of your car and watched the clouds drift by? I remember doing that as a child, staring up at the sky and letting my imagination run wild. Later, I found myself doing the same thing with my own children and grandchildren, turning it into a game of “What do you see?” I loved how one cloud could look like a poodle, another like a man rolling a bowling ball, or even an angel stretching across the sky. Of course, I knew they weren’t really those ...
