Jaguar was a beauty in spite of/because of her brokenness

April 25, 2019 Walker Moore

Today, I had to say goodbye to an old and trusted friend. We met years ago, when I was a neophyte in the ministry. My traveling days were just beginning, and all I had was a new Bible and an old suitcase made of cardboard. It was just a cloth-covered box with a handle, nothing…

April 18, 2019 Walker Moore

It isn’t having grandchildren that make me feel old these days; it is the knowledge that I am married to their grandmother. These last few years, adding the role of grandfather to my life has brought me some of the best days I’ve ever had. Many grandparents tell me to enjoy this phase while I…

April 11, 2019 Walker Moore

On the day River the Peacemaker entered this world, my wife and I had Titus the Honorable and Cohen the Goodhearted staying with us. The weather was beautiful, so Titus got out his little bicycle and rode around the backyard while Cohen watered Grammy’s flowers. Before long, Titus came to me, his expression serious. “Poppy,…

Lessons in the basement of a Baptist Church

March 28, 2019 Walker Moore

I grew up in a small country church, when we first started attending this church it had one large room called the sanctuary. The seats were long wooden pews that would bend like a horseshoe as it went from one side to the other. Directly below it was the basement. Most of our Sunday Schools,…

A Friend who is better than James Taylor

March 7, 2019 Walker Moore

I have only been to three secular concerts in my life. In the late ’60s, I attended the first. Two bands played back to back: The Mamas & the Papas and Gary Puckett & the Union Gap. If you grew up in that era, you will never forget these groups. As a hormonally imbalanced, pimply-faced,…

Attempting to circumvent the Whipped Cream Monitor

February 21, 2019 Walker Moore

I never had to have a whipped cream monitor before. But since my grandsons have come into my life, I have been assigned one: my wife. A whipped cream monitor has only two lines, “Whoaaa, that’s way too much” and “You can catch germs.” My grandsons like hot chocolate; well, they don’t like it too…
