Words of Joy
Selfless Love
I’d like to tell you about a woman filled with love; not the selfish kind of love where you say, “I’ll do this for you, if you’ll do this for me.” No…her kind of love was the self-less kind. It has no thought for itself and actually gives. I saw her love a grandson when she helped raise him when... »
Just Words
I love you She said, “They’re just words.” I love you As you argue – no shower – I took one yesterday You didn’t remember “They’re just words.” I love you When your Thanksgiving dressing turned out differently you insisted you have always made it that way. I ate it anyway and wondered. “They’re just words.” I love you As I lift the cup to your lips. “They’re just words.” I love you While grinding... »
Faith vs. Fear
Growing up it seemed a lot of my choices came about because of lack of confidence; choosing not to do something out of fear of the unknown, fear of change, fear of getting caught, fear of what others may think. It was only as I matured spiritually that the how and whys of my choices changed. If you are... »
Christmas Cravings
We all have cravings; chocolate, popcorn, potato chips, Mom’s apple pie, eggnog, candy canes, hot chocolate (yum), chestnuts roasting on an open fire. (Has anyone ever had a roasted chestnut?), or maybe a nice big juicy t-bone for you guys. There are even non-food cravings – videogames, bagging that 10-point buck; texting, and even pinching little babies rosy cheeks. Unfortunately there... »
Little Axe: What’s Not to Like?
Counterpoint to What I like about Little Axe: What I DO NOT Like About Little Axe - I don’t like all the “7-11 convenience dumps” alongside the road. Mattresses, fast food wrappers, bottles and cans - all tell visitors what we think of our community. - The up side to this is if you like to recycle you can gather tons of aluminum. -... »
Favorite Stuart Memories from Little Axe
By Joy Stuart Nix, daughter of Sunny Stuart, youngest son of Elmer and Doxie Stuart Family has lived in Little Axe since around 1920-1930 Drawing water out of the well and drinking it from the old metal bucket and ladle.

Beaver Pond Slideshow
Photos of the pond west of 180th on Hwy 9. Link to slideshow Lament of a Photojournalist From Maine to Utah and New Zealand we come, for learning and working …each and everyone. Hope against hope in want of award; the mere act of learning must be our reward. Assignments are many, lunch on the run; to the staff it’s just work …participants, pure fun. This way and that way all over the town; when a camera... »
What I Like About Little Axe
* I like that someone in my extended family has lived in Little Axe for over 70 years; so it’s always been home even before it became my home. * If my car breaks down, I’m generally within a ½ mile from a friend/neighbor for help. * I’m proud that the mascot for Little Axe is still the Indians. I’m honored to... »
Music of the Morning
Cottonwoods whispering good morning to the clouds Blades of Bermuda waving bye to the butterflies Incoming—sparrows at 90 degrees Man attempts to mimic nature’s melodies The ting-a-ling of a triangle The bellowing of a bass drum The bell choir echo But none can match The breeze clapping with the hickory leaves Or the croak of the bull frog tuba The tick-a-tick of the cicada percussionists And the tap…tap…tap from... »
For Dorothy
I sit and wait to hear the beat of the wings of angels. Sorrow and sadness and pain wait to fly to Glory. Remembering a hard life of toil, no wealth or grandeur to comfort and sustain me. Looking for the joy to replace the pain… the Son, to fill the darkness of despair. God grants each their individual gifts of service. Mine were family and home. Well done—Well... »
