I’ve been shang-hide lately for toddler duty by the fine staff in the early childhood department of Stonebriar Community Church. I don’t really mind it too much. I mean what’s a toddler whisperer going to say when asked to watch tots so their parents can worship in big church? This all started on the first… Continue reading I’m More Valuable Than a Bird or Flower

I don’t have a word for this year, but I do have a verse
Facebook can be such a time waster most days. When I have the time to waste it’s no big deal. Okay, I admit to spending too much time perusing what folks are posting. It is a good way to keep track of what my siblings and their kids are up to. That used to be… Continue reading I don’t have a word for this year, but I do have a verse
How Did You Ring in the New Year?
Okay. A show of hands, who watched the ball drop on New Years’ Eve? If you’re in Idaho did you watch the potato drop? They actually do that there. The country bumpkin in me believes it. Full confession…I didn’t even consider it this time around. I witnessed too many midnights in 2016 to stay up… Continue reading How Did You Ring in the New Year?
A Look Back at 2016
Well, Christmas was a hot one in north Texas. We set a record high of 80 degrees. You can have your white Christmases. I’ve endured enough of them in my lifetime, thank you very much. Don’t feel too sorry for us. We did endure a couple of nights in the teens last weekend. I don’t… Continue reading A Look Back at 2016
Do I See What You See?
I’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately. I’m been all over Texas…from Houston to San Antonio to El Paso to Amarillo to Wichita Falls and all over the Dallas area this month. Outside of Texas I’ve been to Oklahoma City, OK, Memphis, TN, and Shreveport, LA multiple times. When a truck driver does that… Continue reading Do I See What You See?
Normal for me is spelled Frustrating Chaos
For anybody who missed me, or this blog post anywho, this past Monday I have an extremely good reason for being AWOL. My computer/internet router/modem gave up the ghost at an extremely awkward moment. Let’s back up to last Thursday evening. I received an email from The Upper Room devotional folks about one of the… Continue reading Normal for me is spelled Frustrating Chaos
That Circadian guy was sure on to something
Have you ever heard of the Circadian Rhythm? No, not Cicada rhythms. That would be that incessant high-pitched buzzing sound we hear all summer long. I think I still have its echo ringing in my ears now. And no, it has absolutely nothing to do with music, unless you consider lullabies a part of it.… Continue reading That Circadian guy was sure on to something
Bible Lessons From 2 Peters
Worship this Sunday was incredible. The music was exta-extraordinary, which for Stonebriar Community Church is saying a lot. We enjoyed the full orchestra and choir. They were hitting everything out of the ballpark. Even us regular folks were singing at full tilt, at least I know I was. Fortunately I had time to absorb hymn… Continue reading Bible Lessons From 2 Peters
Be Extraordinary Consider the Ant
Have you taken the time to consider ants like Solomon tells us to in the book of Proverbs? The ants in my neighborhood have gotten my attention lately by their weird behavior. By thinking about how they’ve decided to be extraordinary I’ve chosen to follow their lead and be extraordinary, too. Watch my video to… Continue reading Be Extraordinary Consider the Ant
El Paso Lessons From an 18-wheeler Driver
Texas has some extremely diverse landscapes. If you love the ocean life we can deliver it with, or without, a barrier island. If you prefer hills and trees the east side is for you. Vast farm land is in our western counties. Rugged hills are in our mid-section. I live in Plano. It was so… Continue reading El Paso Lessons From an 18-wheeler Driver
