Well, here we are. The ninth month of 2019 is upon us. Currently most of my life is the same as it was in January. But… A few things are knocking…let’s call them opportunities. The business front looks the most promising now. I have a meeting trying to take place this week that will have… Continue reading September Turning Point?

Wildlife Encounters
The summer of 2019 is going down as one filled with many unique wildlife encounters…and that’s saying a lot for a guy who grew up on the edge of nowhere in rural Michigan. Last Wednesday I saw a bald eagle flying up over the road as I drove in west Arkansas. I’ve seen that before… Continue reading Wildlife Encounters
The Least of These
The last three weekends have been filled with helping the least of the members of our society…and I love it. The first Saturday of August I helped feed homeless folks in south Dallas. The next Saturday I traveled to a maximum security prison to speak to prisoners. This past Saturday I helped the homeless again.… Continue reading The Least of These
A Positive Impact
Prison ministry comes with a few challenges. Quite a few actually but I want to focus on my most recent visit behind bars. We had what they call a retreat this past Saturday at the George Beto Unit. When I attend a retreat in the free world I usually go off someplace special to add… Continue reading A Positive Impact
Humbled by Service
There, but by the grace of God, go I. It’s a sentence that I hear myself repeating from time to time. Last Saturday was one of those days I heard it in my head a lot. I went to south Dallas with a team from Stonebriar Community Church to help feed some homeless folks. We… Continue reading Humbled by Service
I Did It Again
I’ve said it here several times but my life is unpredictable. You wouldn’t know that by looking at my domicile history. When I was married Barb and I had a habit of moving fairly frequently. We counted 21 places of residence during the first 20 years of our marriage. We never lived three years at… Continue reading I Did It Again
Waiters Serve
God’s waiting room is quite crowded. At least that’s my observation. Prayers await an answer…at least we hope the answer isn’t no. Cold hearts are still ice cubes. Health concerns are still bleak. Finances are still too tight. Hunger and poverty still occupy too much of the earth. It feels like our prayers have bounced… Continue reading Waiters Serve
Seeing Through Eyes
If I can ever get that cloning process perfected I can make a lot more money in my life/lives. The mattress company I’ve been driving for took the entire week of July 4th off. As in they shut the entire factory down. That meant I didn’t have anything to deliver that week unless it was… Continue reading Seeing Through Eyes
Rejection Stinks
Life is unsettling. Mine is unpredictable at best. July 4th was not what I expected this year. Last Wednesday I received a phone call from the dispatcher at the temp agency I drive for. A company needed a driver with doubles endorsement to take a load to Amarillo. I would need to go in on… Continue reading Rejection Stinks
Half Done But Not Over
Okay. Here’s the fact. 2019 is officially half completed. How are those New Years resolutions coming along? What do you mean you don’t even remember what they were? Why did you ever bother making them in the first place if they weren’t really that important to you to begin with? I guess that’s a mute… Continue reading Half Done But Not Over
