Onword and Upwords by Dennis Brady

  • Loyalty

    I had an opportunity to teach Will a small lesson on loyalty. We used the fantastic Great Clips app to schedule our haircut appointments. Only 11 minutes to wait. Perfect! We were about 5 minutes away. We arrived and Leah… Continue reading

  • Hacked

    So last night I just pulled up to Harris Teeter when I got a call from an 800 number. I don’t normally take these calls, but my spidey senses were tingling over this one. I answered. It was Wells Fargo’s… Continue reading

  • Get In Line

    Once God sets something in place no man can get in the way. God anointed David as the next king to one day replace King Saul. It would be a while before it became official. In the meantime, David slays… Continue reading

  • Voice To Text

    I woke up yesterday morning struggling with a particular issue. I don’t mind telling you what it was but Sandra says I’m too transparent. She wins this round. Anyway, I tried turning it over to The Lord since He says… Continue reading

  • A Life Lesson From My Friend, Arthur

    I have a friend. Yes, at least one. We’ll call him Arthur. Arthur Featherstone, specifically. He just underwent knee surgery. The second in a year. Two knees. Each was bad. The boy is rough on his body. He commented today… Continue reading

  • Corn Beef

    It was not the wisest or healthiest decision to buy it in the first place. Impulse shopping is rarely a good idea. Especially when it comes to canned corn beef. But it was one of my “what the heck” moments… Continue reading
