The Christmas decorations have been on display in many stores for well over a month now. If I remember right Halloween came after that time…and we just ate a big meal with turkey as the main course. Why don’t I remember summer lately. Did I skip Labor Day somehow? There was something to do with… Continue reading Okay, what IS the next holiday now?

Is everybody here like THAT?
I experienced an interesting day in Houston last Friday delivering windows. I spent the night there so I was somewhat fresh beginning those shipments. Since there were some very heavy windows and patio doors onboard I was given a helper. I’m extremely glad I had the help since my back was talking to me big… Continue reading Is everybody here like THAT?
My observations of the 2015 Maranatha Christian Writers’ Conference
Somebody told me before I came to Maranatha that this was considered the best small conference for Christian writers. I confirm that recommendation. One of the best things about attending conferences is meeting people. Running into old writing friends is always a joy. Gail Gaymer Martin insisted she get a picture of the two of… Continue reading My observations of the 2015 Maranatha Christian Writers’ Conference
I finally have my word for the year: PERSEVERE
Don’t freak out on me now. No, this isn’t Monday morning, just a Monday morning blog post from me. I have two reasons for posting this now: first, the subject matter of the devo post is too important to treat lightly–Jesus’s second coming; and second, my life is so busy with life at the moment… Continue reading I finally have my word for the year: PERSEVERE
My observations of the 2015 Stonebriar men’s retreat
One of the highlights of my year just concluded. The Stonebrair Community Church’s 2015 Men’s Retreat is in the books as a real winner. The weather was all we could ask for. No rain, like last year’s event had; warm temperatures, cool mornings actually which is always a pleasant surprise in Texas in October; and… Continue reading My observations of the 2015 Stonebriar men’s retreat
The fields are white for harvest, y’all!
On a recent west Texas delivery route I experienced two incredible things. One of them I hadn’t seen in quite a while. The other one I had seen, but not at such high temperatures. What can I say? I had too many long miles in the truck that day. The times are short for us… Continue reading The fields are white for harvest, y’all!
I sure hope you are DRESSED FOR SUCCESS
I spent the first four days last week unemployed. It’s not that I didn’t have an employer, I actually have two of them at present. It’s just that neither of them had any work for me Monday through Thursday. With the end of the month approaching I’m watching my bank accounts extremely closely. One surprise… Continue reading I sure hope you are DRESSED FOR SUCCESS
My experience at #ACFW2015
Well, it’s over and I lived to tell about it. Anybody whose been to a big conference knows what I’m talking about. They told us 465 people paid to be at this year’s convention for writers who center God and Jesus in their reason for writing. The American Christian Fiction Writers annual conference was held… Continue reading My experience at #ACFW2015
How do people show they’re happy?
Here we are the last day of the month of August. I hope you knew this was “Admit You’re Happy Month.” No, well shame on you. I personally don’t know why only one month is set aside for admitting one is happy. We should feel free to admit we’re happy every single day we’re able… Continue reading How do people show they’re happy?
West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan
When a writer has several hours behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler there’s too much time and not enough to think about. This blog post will be proof of what I’m talking about…or writing about, actually. This summer has been the year of West Texas window deliveries. I have a few observations to make since… Continue reading West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan
