These ninety-nine brief stories, reflections, and vignettes relate to varied experiences and interests. Originally written as weekly posts to Facebook, they deal with agrarian life and poverty in the early 1900s, baby boomers' upbringing and family life in small-town Northeast Texas, and pastoral and hospice ministry in the 1980s and 1990s. Reflections at times bear the marks of the author's own grief, healing, and renewal; and many individual posts retain here their devotional, inspirational character. Stories of rural pastoral care and the numerous posts on hospice work may be helpful to others who have experienced loss and grief, as well as to pastors, social workers, and healthcare professionals. As posted to Facebook, these episodes were written as if to be read aloud among friends; a reader may find it hard to resist doing just that.
