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 ›
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.

This past weekend my wife, the dogs and I traveled to visit one of our daughters and her family near Detroit. Originally, the plan was to attend a harvest festival on Saturday, but the weather was not cooperating. Instead, our daughter scheduled us for an adventure called Escape Games. Basically, your group is locked into a room where […]Read Post ›
Ok. So my wife thinks I can get crabby sometimes – well maybe a little more often than that. And since there is a little stress at the office, some of the case managers I supervise may also feel the same way. As a public service I decided to publish a list so it is not my fault […]Read Post ›
I think most people consider the last few weeks as quite an upheaval. After all there was Hurricane Harvey. An earthquake in Mexico More ethnic cleansing in Myanmar And of course who can forget Irma. Then we needed to […]Read Post ›
