As an exercise for Evaluate Your Life Day I want you to picture yourself in the driver’s seat of a semi, that’s right you’re now in control of a big-rig. This isn’t a stretch of my imagination since I do this regularly as my main source of income. Let’s see if I can give you… Continue reading Welcome to Evaluate Your Life Day

2014 Stonebriar Men’s Retreat recap
This was the fifth consecutive year I’ve attended the men’s retreat put on by Stonebriar Community Church. Each year I’ve offered the use of Clifford, my full-size van.

The migration of the Monarchs is on…the butterfly of course.
Last Saturday was one of those beautiful days we hold out for in north Texas. I call it a transition day because it’s between the heatwave of summer and the deep-freeze of winter. My workday began at 6:00 with a light jacket. By 8:00 the jacket came off. The shirt sleeves were rolled up shortly… Continue reading The migration of the Monarchs is on…the butterfly of course.
The ultimate mode of transportation
These past few months at work have been a bit of a challenge for this aging man. Forget about just work, come to think of it everything is becoming a challenge for this aging man.

I took full advantage of this three-day weekend. After pushing through in the month of August to get a proposal out I decided… Continue reading My walk with God in Plano
The summertime price for living in Texas
August in Texas is a challenge for most of us. This summer hasn’t been as bad as previous ones, but we’re beginning to feel at home now. 97 degrees is the average high temperature for this time of year. I’m grateful for every day we’ve stayed below 90 thus far. We’ve been near or at… Continue reading The summertime price for living in Texas

They all get promoted to new classrooms next week and the regular volunteers resume their ministry positions. One part of me will miss the little tykes.

Who, me, really? What’s in a name.
Do you ever wonder what people will think of you when you’re old? If you’re already old and you know what people think of you perhaps you wish you could go back and make a few changes in your life. There are a few times in the Bible when God gives certain people a glimpse… Continue reading Who, me, really? What’s in a name.
Happy National Pink Day, Y’all!
I hope you’re reading this post before you head out the door, today. That way you’ll be informed about what to wear to work, or shopping, or lounging around, or what ever you have planned today, or, whatever today has planned for you.

7 Father’s Day lessons, from a non-dad, I’ve learned from watching toddlers at church.
Father’s Day has an empty tone for me. My wife and I never had any children. Both my Dad and father-in-law are dead. I still have a desire to honor dads out there in some fashion. So, here are seven lessons I’ve picked up from filling in this summer at our church’s toddler ministry. Separation… Continue reading 7 Father’s Day lessons, from a non-dad, I’ve learned from watching toddlers at church.
