39 Years of Thankfulness

Today it has been 39 years since I took my last drink. When I had the idea to write this post, I planned to share how I stayed sober all those years. After staring at a very empty screen for over an hour, I realized I had nothing to write because it I didn’t have […]Read Post ›

Christ’s Love Compels Her

Today, after almost forty-two years of working for the same company, my wife, Diane, retires. Actually as we call it she laytires. She planned to retire a couple of years ago, but her company began downsizing at that time and she agreed to stay on for a few of years to help with a particular […]Read Post ›

I Want That!

What do these all have in common? A $100 savings bond – doughnuts – a beer and a shot – hot dogs – a chance to win airline tickets or a new vehicle – a $500 food card – cheesecake – a dessert on a stick? Those are all items offered by various businesses to […]Read Post ›

I Wonder What People Do Without God?

I come to another Good Friday. This one feels different. As I sit in my kitchen with my work computer and my personal laptop covering our table I wonder what is it going to take to end this situation in which we find our world. I read about flattening the curve, social distancing, safe at […]Read Post ›

New Hope Every Morning

I was waiting for Driver to finish his now almost nightly 1:30 am trip to the backyard and thinking, “This has to be part of a dog’s aging process,” when it hit me–this was not only his schedule. More times than I care to admit, I also wake up around 1:30 am to address a […]Read Post ›

If I Could Go Back …

I am in the middle of reading the book Time Lottery by Nancy Moser. The story line follows three people who were chosen as the first to be able to go back to an “Alternity” or to their past life. Once there, they would have the chance to make a change which will result in […]Read Post ›

The Teacher is Always Quietest During the Test

We have just come through the time of the school year for exams. I do not know about you, but exams were not my favorite memories from school days. As I look back, I have to admit those negative pictures most often came from not applying myself completely. But at that time, I thought a lot differently. I can […]Read Post ›

That Is My Mother!

Five kids were out walking one day, when they came upon a creek that flowed through a parkway. It drew their attention. But it was not that water that attracted them. Rather, it was the algae that floated on top. Soon they discovered that if they scooped up some of the algae and squeezed out […]Read Post ›

Hosanna! Crucify Him!

 Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday. As I look towards those events I will be reminded of in the next seven days, two pictures of Jesus come to mind. First was the unfairness he needed to bear. Our world demands fairness. I cannot listen to any news reports or read comments on any social media […]Read Post ›

You Know …

Reading through my last few posts is kind of depressing for me. The things going on are tough to handle and do appear to come without end. But, as I prayed this morning it came to me that I sound like those people who use Facebook to only let everyone know how bad their lives […]Read Post ›
