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 ›
It’s been a long time since I posted anything. A lot of struggles and changes have occurred so that I am unsure where to head with this. So, I will start with when I was in church on New Years Eve. I went expecting to hear a message encouraging me to review the past year and look into 2019. […]Read Post ›
This is not the original post I started a while ago. If it was, the beginning would have read: About 5 weeks ago, I had a scare. My 93-year-old father fell and broke a hip. The break itself was repaired without too much trouble. And while there have been some tough times, he seems to be […]Read Post ›
I have never considered this one of my favorite Psalms. It’s not that the message is not clear. There is hope and praise for God. The Psalm is well written without any veiled messages.

I can only shake my head at those who shouted insults at my Savior and wonder why they treated […]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 ›
The new year is about a week old and my annual questions are still there. Will 2018 be any different from 2017? Are there any significant changes coming in my family and other relationships? What will happen in the world that affect my life? Are there any health challenges coming in this year? Will I be happier, disappointed […]Read Post ›
This has been a rough week at work. We were told the State was coming to audit our client files. That meant long hours during the day checking that everything was in the files that was supposed to be there. And also balancing that off with keeping up with the daily work. As a supervisor, […]Read Post ›
