When everything in your world starts rocking at once, you wonder if there’s something bigger going on that you just don’t know about. After all, perhaps Satan and God are duking it out over you like they once did over Job. There doesn’t seem to be anything biblical that supports the idea that God would […]
This past week, I had a chance to spend a few days in upstate New York where I grew up. I’ve visited there through the years, though not often enough, and this time I realized that some pretty significant changes have ocurred. Either the town has changed or I have! It seemed somehow out of […]
My parents became Doug and Beverly Moore on January 21, 1946. They were incredibly young and courageous. At tender ages, they had to learn about life and marriage and raising children. It was not an easy job, but it was one they were committed to protect and build on. It’s amazing to me to […]
I’m working on a new book called Thanks for Being You! I thought I’d share a poem I wrote for the book because it’s such a reminder of the kind of friend I always hope to be and the kind of friend I know you all are. It goes like this: The Tough Times […]

Halloween is a fascinating howl-i-day and one that has grown like the great pumpkin in a field over the last several years. It offers a kaleidoscope of complex interpretations for the sinners and the saints. I’m more of a “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!” kind of person so I […]
I’m getting ready to move again. Sure that doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it’s the fifth move since I came to Florida in 2010. In not quite three years, I’ve bounced from one house to another, always looking for a home, a place to hang my hat(s) and stay put. I’m starting to […]
It’s my youngest daughter’s birthday today. Grace is 24. It hardly seems possible. I still remember seeing two tiny toes sticking straight up in the air from a bassinet long since put away. She’s an adventure in grace and as a mom, I couldn’t be prouder of the woman she is today. She’s always been a teacher […]
