The Moon is Down.

And then — just between you and me —
I take a swallow of cold tea
and in the manner of the ancient Chinese
pick up my pen
and write down that bird I hear outside,

I am reading a poetry book by Billy Collins called, [...]

A good story.

They were there for breakfast, and they were there to cheer New York Jets running back Curtis Martin. And it was Martin who received the Athletes in Action Bart [...]

At OCF last Thursday, the speaker, Horace from Jersey Church, said, “I want to die with nothing left inside of me.” He was talking about really, really giving every part of you to God and how so many people go to church on Sunday and if you were to look at [...]
