Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed Until your love broke through I’ve been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me Until your love, until your love, broke through Today’s Daily Gen-X Photo is taken from a 35mm slide and features young teenage girls in a Sunday School class...
Today, my daughter Bridgy was an altar server for the first time. I posted a picture on Instagram to commemorate the occasion. Church has been a part of my life since before I was born. The older I get, the more I enjoy it, but I still get nostalgic for the past. I miss how church used to be, or...
These two photos provide a nice comparison and contrast between Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers as we all appeared when dressed for church. The first photo is an original 35 mm slide image that was taken in the 1950s. I recently purchased it and have no other information about it. The second picture is...

There are a lot of funny church signs throughout Oklahoma, some more humorous than others. Some, are just plain offensive. This one really isn’t funny and it certainly isn’t offensive to me, but I thought it was interesting. This is a rural outskirts of Oklahoma City. For all practical...

All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel. –Book of Judges According to yet another study by the Pew Research Center, Generation X and Generation Y continue...
I left you today. And I’m certain when I did, I chipped a tile From the Mosaic The fractured Bride of God. It seems I had no choice For 25 some-odd years, I’ve watched The same man Silver hair and a gold horn He played it like me But, safer, And, you know, I didn’t. I fancied myself bombastic Like...
Growing up as a preacher’s kid, Wednesday night prayer meetings were a regular stop on my Generation X childhood. It’s because of this that a huge piece is missing from my cultural memoir: Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, which were televised on Wednesday nights. My father pastored...
My father pastored small churches across the south central plains of America. Sunday mornings were his time to shine. I watched him get ready like some little girls watch their mothers. He’d shine his shoes, and sometimes, mine. He’d shave and trim his mustache. Then he’d iron...
