  • The shot heard all the way from...

    By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
    Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
    Here once the embattled farmers stood,
    And fired the shot heard round the world.

    The shot heard round the world was fired at the battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson penned the words above commemorating the beginning of our Revolutionary War.

  • Finding Christ in Christmas

    Christmas is just around the corner. Families and friends are planning for that perfect celebration as is so often portrayed in advertisements and in those beautiful cards we send and receive.

    The problem is that Christmases are not always all we hope for them to be.
    There are those Christmases that fail to live up to our hopes.
    Someone who could have been present chose not to be.

  • The man in the tree got me thinking

    In the poem, “Trees,” Joyce Kilmer spoke the truth: “I think I shall never see/A poem as lovely as a tree.”
    Of all the living things I see, trees are my favorite. I mourn when one dies, and I cringe when someone cuts a living one down.
    One of my favorite trees was a large mulberry that grew in the backyard of my childhood home.
    It had perfect limbs for a climbing boy, and climb it I did. From high up in its branches, I could see forever. Of course for a boy, “forever” was not as far as it is for the man the boy became.
