Stonebriar Community Church just held their 2019 Christmas concert. It was as glorious as ever. I rank our music department as one of, if not, the best programs anywhere. There were a few well deserved standing ovations. But something was missing this year that I usually get during this highlight of the year. There’s usually… Continue reading No Stand Outs

No Computer
Modern technology has made life far from simple these days in my humble opinion. Most days I wish I could go back to not needing a computer. Last week I was forced into that mode. It began as a basic updating of my security account. The initial transaction was accomplished without a hitch. The problem… Continue reading No Computer
What a Week!
I never know what each week will hold for me. Most weeks it’s just basic deliveries. Nothing special. Then there are weeks like last week that I’m glad don’t occur very often. I went in Monday morning at seven o’clock, as instructed, to start out on schedule for my four deliveries in east Texas. Before… Continue reading What a Week!
Tithing My Time
A few weeks ago I challenged the folks in the adult fellowship I attend to not only tithe their money but their time as well. Lately I’ve had so many opportunities to put that advice into practice it’s not funny. A few days after I made said announcement I went down to the George Beto… Continue reading Tithing My Time
The Multi-purpose Room
I’ve been a member of Stonebriar Community Church for twelve years now. To say there’s an incredible sense of community there would be an understatement. But, then, what would you expect with our middle name being Community? The beautiful main sanctuary was only on the drawing board when I first attended over a decade ago.… Continue reading The Multi-purpose Room
I had My Head Examined
My life has been in transition since my wife left me over seven years ago now. It’s about to take another shift…sort of. Yeah, nothing is clear and concise in my life. Let me explain. I’ve been driving for a temp agency for the past five years with the hope that the writing will take… Continue reading I had My Head Examined
I’m Going Home
September was a unique month for me. I was able to go back to where I grew up. I connected with some of the kids I went to school with at a reunion. I spent quality time with each of my siblings. I even spent time with my dad’s last remaining sister. To say nostalgia… Continue reading I’m Going Home
A Divine Appointment
Timing is everything…that’s what the experts all say. God’s timing is incredible…that’s what this nobody says. My September vacation in Michigan was way too overdue. I hadn’t experienced a time to unplug from reality in over a decade. Oh, I’ve unplugged for a day, or part of a day, during that stretch but not a… Continue reading A Divine Appointment
The Vacation that Won’t End
I haven’t had a true vacation in over a decade. To say my life has been challenging would be an understatement. Well, I’m trying to complete said overdue vacation, but it doesn’t seem to want to end. Apparently my life is afraid it will be another decade before I take similar time away from the… Continue reading The Vacation that Won’t End
Rushed for Time
I almost didn’t write a blog post this week. Guess why. Yeah, I don’t have enough time to do it. Then I got to thinking about God’s definition for time and decided a short post is better than no post. Okay, God is eternal and infinite so time is a completely different concept to Him.… Continue reading Rushed for Time
