Yes. It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a blog post. What can I say? Life has been more than crazy lately. It is still 2020 y’all. As an essential truck driver I’ve been working 5-6 days per week. Things seem to be slowing down…finally. The Apainter Paul has been equally as busy. So… Continue reading Tears…Finally

New Growth
I know a lot of you are stuck inside your homes because of this COVID-19 virus thing that’s going around. Well, I happen to be one of those lunatic truck drivers getting out and about so you can find basic necessities when you do have to venture out to a store. I’m out and about… Continue reading New Growth
A Crying Child
Stonebriar Community Church just hosted the 2020 Frisco Big Pack. It’s now an annual tradition where we pack over a million meals to be sent out to impoverished folks somewhere in the world. At this point the people at Feed My Starving Children don’t even know where the food we packed today (as I write… Continue reading A Crying Child

2019 in My Rearview Mirror
Well, here we stand at the end of another decade. It was an excruciating one for me personally. My wife moved away on August 9, 2012. That’s the date I count as our divorce day even though the courts say it occurred sometime around September 2015 or so. My mom died February 27, 2015. I… Continue reading 2019 in My Rearview Mirror
Mission Fields
Every Christian has at least one of these. Many have several of them. Jesus told His disciples to go out and make more disciples. Where did He send them? Into their mission field. Our adult fellowship held communion last Sunday. It was a memorable time as always. At the end a few minutes were spent… Continue reading Mission Fields
No Stand Outs
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
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
