This morning I woke up, stuffed a 23-pound turkey and slipped it into the oven. No, do not check your calendars. And no, even though I am quite a few 24 hours down the road, I have not lost all sense of time. It is not Thanksgiving anyplace (except maybe in my heart). I just felt […]Read Post ›
My wife and I share the same interest in the history of the various wars fought throughout history. War is never a good thing. What is interesting are the strategies, the heroes, and the untold stories that we hear through some of the shows we watch. And how God used those wars in some way to further his […]Read Post ›
I recently spoke with a person who is a ways into recovery and doing pretty well. He looks at all the aspects surrounding his dependency issues and plans a strategy to deal with them. Then he goes out and changes what he can to make his recovery more secure. I commented how well he was doing and […]Read Post ›
A few days ago there was the upper room, an arrest in Gethsemane, a denial in the courtyard, a crucifixion on Golgotha, and a burial in a new grave. To some, all seemed lost. The disciples saw the Master they had followed for three years led away, tried and then crucified. Mary saw her son beaten, tortured and […]Read Post ›
(All quotes are from the Evangelical Heritage Version of the Bible) Good Friday. What a terrible scene. I can look at those people who were there and wonder why they didn’t do more to help Jesus. I can only shake my head at those who shouted insults at my Savior and wonder why they treated […]Read Post ›

I learned to pronounce so many different names including Oviraptors, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Protoceratops and Parasaurolopus. I read and was told how […]Read Post ›
Dear Anonymous, It has been a while since you started to send me emails about my blog posts. I am not sure how you found my email address but I now expect your responses shortly after I post something. At first I thought you were someone who decided their purpose was to push back against […]Read Post ›
This past Sunday God decided it was time to take back one of the blessings he had given to our family. Trey, our older dog had served the purpose he was put here to perform and to be honest, he was just unable to go on. I believe that blessings from God come wrapped in many different […]Read Post ›
I woke up this week to another Monday. I estimate in my life I have seen about 3,391 of these. And except for the ones I happened to have off, the first few minutes produce the same reaction, “So another week starts!” Somewhere inside of me I know I just should not be feeling that way. I look […]Read Post ›
A few weeks before Christmas, Time magazine began to make a weekly visit to our mailbox. When the first one arrived, I thought it was a mistake. And then the next one came and I noticed I had a year’s subscription and finally I realized someone had gifted me Time magazine for Christmas. I do not […]Read Post ›
