When the Weather App is Wrong
Today – just a simple musing. I am not a ‘fixer-up’ or ‘landscape’ type of guy. While in post-grad school, three summers in a row I destroyed three seperate lawnmowers … two of those caught on fire. If I wasn’t a monotheistic believer in the One True and Only God … I would think the…

CARABINER – Thanks to the Original Rambo
A coupling link with a safety closure. It is commonly used by rock climbers. That’s the definition, but this little mechanism has so much more to it than just a simple coupling link with a safety closure. It’s a shackle, it can be spelled with a c or a K, mean, just the name –…

Toxicity – Trusting and Snipping at Everything/Everyone
Cynical = Dog Like The word comes from a group of philosophers that followed the teachings of Antisthenes, basically means “dog-like” or puppy.

I Want To Move
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. Yes, I miss my son who is in Dallas, but I can deal with that. Yes, everywhere has sandpaper people (see yesterday’s blog). Yes, there…

Trust You? Why Should I?
How do you know you can trust someone? I mean, promises are made and broken all the time – politicians, friends, even to ourselves. I mean how many times have I promised myself I will exercise more, only to stay under the covers after ignoring the phone alarm? In this journey of life, I hope…

It’s the End of the World
In the past couple of weeks, I’ve had the end of the world scenario cross my path. Each was unique, and each made me think a bit different. This is not a doom and gloom discussion, but a make you think scenario – or at least made me think. First – someone from Hollywood said…

Reviewing My Performance
Tonight, I have a meeting. I am meeting with the Pastor Search Team – the very team with which I worked with from almost a year ago. I now am the pastor of the church, but it seems a bit awkward that the Search Team is still meeting. Well, not too awkward. But to some,…
