Two ladies, from different walks of life. Yet, they lived much of their lives within a few hundred miles of each other. One rose to the highest court in the land. Books and movies were made about her. She influenced so many. And when she died this week, people wept. Much of her life was… Continue reading The Tale of Two Ladies
Increasing Number of Earthquakes. Plague of Locusts. Apocalyptic Fires. Wars and Rumors of Wars. Israel Peace Treaties. It’s all sounds so ... Biblical. Are these headlines showing us signs of the times? Or is it all just coincidence? Society today seems to be getting worse and worse. And in a world overflowing with information on… Continue reading Friday’s Friends (#4)
September 17th. There was a problem. People were arguing about their voice being heard. Weaknesses in the laws yielded political unrest. Reform was being called for. Some were saying government needed an overhaul. Armed mobs stormed the towns. Politicians were arguing, lines had been drawn in the sand, and tempers flared. Some deals were finally… Continue reading It’s a Political Battle, Still Waging
As I ponder some of the sights around us, I see beauty, I see struggle, I see family, I see division, I see community, I see life, I see death. We often focus on the positive and quickly look past the less than positive. We might compliment a well maintained yard, a cute house, or… Continue reading Dead Sunflowers Along the Road
It has been almost two years that I’ve been at my present church. And in all honesty, I love the post, the place, the people, the prospects, and so on.

I was living on Dallas then. I had just gotten home from a graveyard shift at work. I kissed my wife as she headed off to Dallas Theological Seminary where she worked. I took my son to school and came back home to go to sleep. It was a normal start of what would be… Continue reading Forever Changed – I Remember
Harry Potter gave a great line when he was supporting the Weasley twin’s endeavor to open the joke ship ... Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes (which is actually a shop in Orlando I’m told.) Basically he told his close companions “We’re all gonna need a few laughs before this is all over.” (My paraphrase) This is not… Continue reading We’re Gonna Need Some Laughs
Oops ... I never posted the sixth of the six part series. So for all you waiting on the edge of your seat this past couple of weeks, you can relax now, here it is ... It’s a community event. People are taking time off work ... to work. And on this huge project, we… Continue reading All for One … part 6 of 6
Don’t tell my wife, but I was looking at the cutest babe yesterday. I went hiking and hit the Otter Creek Trail area on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It wasn’t a long hike, but any time on the mountains is worth the trip. It wasn’t too crowded having only a scattering of fellowship nature lovers… Continue reading She was so Excited to be on the Trails
