My son walked to a neighbor’s house the other day to play with his new friend. It was a big deal. My heart felt like someone was squeezing it. It was the first time ever he has done anything like… Continue reading

People don’t have to agree with my opinion, but it sure would make things easier for all of us. Okay, I’m just kidding…a little. Someone was sharing with me recently how he has been praying for something very specific. The… Continue reading

Once God sets something in place no man can get in the way. God anointed David as the next king to one day replace King Saul. It would be a while before it became official. In the meantime, David slays… Continue reading

  I think sometimes our emotions will rise or fall based on our perceptions of what others think or feel about us. Or maybe I’m the only person with this affliction. These perceptions may be valid, but other times they… Continue reading

I read my Bible. I read Oswald. I worked a 12 hour day. I kissed my wife at least once (yes, she would like more). I hugged my kids. I wrestled with Will. I visited my parents. I helped a… Continue reading

I want more. Yes, I am greedy. But hear me out. “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”(Ephesians 3:20 NIV) That’s… Continue reading

I woke up yesterday morning struggling with a particular issue. I don’t mind telling you what it was but Sandra says I’m too transparent. She wins this round. Anyway, I tried turning it over to The Lord since He says… Continue reading

I have a friend. Yes, at least one. We’ll call him Arthur. Arthur Featherstone, specifically. He just underwent knee surgery. The second in a year. Two knees. Each was bad. The boy is rough on his body. He commented today… Continue reading

It was not the wisest or healthiest decision to buy it in the first place. Impulse shopping is rarely a good idea. Especially when it comes to canned corn beef. But it was one of my “what the heck” moments… Continue reading

It dawned on me yesterday that Tuesdays are a bit boring. I was smack dab in the middle of one. To clarify, during football season and specifically fantasy football season, Tuesdays are uneventful. Anticlimactic. Long. Sundays are awesome. Football news… Continue reading

When I saw this missing name plate at Hard Rock Cafe at Myrtle Beach, I wondered which celebrity did something so bad that warranted its removal. What could a superstar have done that made Hard Rock want to disassociate itself… Continue reading

Days like this are so rare. No plans. No commitments. No expectations. A day free to explore and roam. Or just lay on the beach with the only pressing matter is the avoidance of a sunburn. Days like these are… Continue reading

I’m conflicted. We arrived at the beach a bit ago just in time for the 4pm kickoff of the Eagles and Broncos game. Yet, as I said, we just arrived at the beach. And our room isn’t ocean front…thanks to… Continue reading

Hello friends. I will be back posting soon. Lots going on. A friend just sent me something that is too good not to share. Enjoy! “Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.… Continue reading

Something has shifted. I think. It seems that telephone etiquette has changed. At least in my mind there’s a shift occurring. We used to think nothing of picking up the phone to call someone. And without caller ID the brave… Continue reading

Not many days are filled with 16 hours of fun. Most 16 hour days are about work, school, commuting, cooking dinner, taxiing kids around, saying things like, “yes, sir, I’ll get that to you as soon as possible.” That’s a… Continue reading

Just heard a song with the lyrics “I can’t live another day without you.” Really? Are you ready to gag? A bit melodramatic don’t you think? It sure puts a lot of pressure on the other person. I want Sandra… Continue reading

Maybe I messed up the gas/oil mix. It’s possible. I mentioned in a previous post that my weed eater wouldn’t start. Prior to it not starting at all, it was functioning uncharacteristically sporadic. It would start, sputter and stop. Repeat… Continue reading

Most people have a tension in their lives over 2 points. A and B. We’re at point A, yet we want to be at point B. The Bible instructs us to be content in all things and to give thanks… Continue reading

The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. We’ve all heard that before and we’ve projected that burden on to others. “That guy’s a bum.” “Well, the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree. You know his daddy.”… Continue reading

I really enjoy solving Sudoku puzzles. The easy ones. I’m over the hard ones. I’ve gotten 90% through them thinking I’m the reincarnation of Einstein only to realize that the whole thing is wrong. All wrong. There’s a way that… Continue reading

I recently sold my boat. I decided that I wasn’t a boat owner type. I love going out on a boat…if you own it, store it, haul it and maintain it. So feel free to invite me any time. I… Continue reading

I understand that sometimes we all have to take a stand on the issues. But we need to know that we are standing on facts, not fiction. Starbucks has recently attracted the wrath of Christians over what CEO Howard Schultz… Continue reading

I operate a static video camera at church and the hardest part is keeping the pastor and worship leaders in focus. They move around a lot. Side to side, forward and back, up and down. When I have them in… Continue reading

There are many things that I’m at a loss for…home repairs, car repairs, spreadsheets, algebra, Honey Boo Boo… I have no comprehension or aptitude for any of these things. I’m at a complete loss. And there’s one thing that really… Continue reading

Today is my 200th post. It took over 3 years to get here, but who’s counting? Ok, me. More than a third of the total has been written since April. This year. That’s when I turned this writing thing over… Continue reading
