She hears the thunder in the distance, looks out the window to the north, and the sky has darkened, with distant flashes of lightning.  It’s not raining yet, but she walks out onto her protected deck—hair blowing from gentle wisps of wind teasing her long hair as if to provide a harbinger of things to come. Her eyes are scanning the panorama that displays an ominous and powerful force of nature co Read More

Fly High Now by Adrienne B.      If there is such a thing as a prelife planning session in a supreme heavenly place where each spiritual soul must map the purpose and events of their human life, then I must have been there against my will.  If I did find myself sitting around a crystal golden conference table amongst the advisory angels, I probably was not an active participant.  Read More

He avoided the crowd at the Amphitheatre services, because well, he didn’t need the attention, even here.  He was relieved that he didn’t see the Free Palestinian prot Read More

I couldn’t help it. I had to post this beauty one more time. It brings back fond memories, for sure, and it will massage your soul, and let it soar with high majesty and comfort. Go ahead. Take a deep breath, and it will sprout you strong wings, if you dare to allow it, and you will fly with the freedom of an eagle, soaring with strength and power, and sometimes, you drop like a rock, but then, it Read More

For some reason, I’m feeling a little nostalgic today. The rumor is that this is an old photograph of the members of the Varsity Cross country team representing a certain U.S. Military Academy some time ago I realize very few of the massive throng of Carson readers have personally met the author, but I wonder if anyone can find Carson in this ancient photo?
