Have you ever heard of the Circadian Rhythm? No, not Cicada rhythms. That would be that incessant high-pitched buzzing sound we hear all summer long. I think I still have its echo ringing in my ears now. And no, it has absolutely nothing to do with music, unless you consider lullabies a part of it.… Continue reading That Circadian guy was sure on to something

The 2016 Stonebriar Men’s Retreat is in the Books as Another Winner
I just returned home from this years’ men’s retreat put on by my church. Okay, it’s not strictly my church or it wouldn’t be much of a retreat. Can one person really enjoy teaching himself new things from the Bible? Stonebriar Community Church is the organization I chose to be included in their membership. Therefore,… Continue reading The 2016 Stonebriar Men’s Retreat is in the Books as Another Winner

Eek’s Gifts Book Trailer
I just completed my first attempt at making a book trailer. Eek will be set loose upon the world next month so I thought I’d do my part to get the world prepared for his adorableness now. I used several of the illustrations Dyann Joyce created to tell a condensed story of Eek and Aagh.… Continue reading Eek’s Gifts Book Trailer
Time To Go Home
“What have you two done? Everybody’s going to gang up on us and destroy us in no time.” Jacob fell back in his chair. Levi stepped forward. “We are not going to let any man treat our baby sister like a piece of trash to be used for his pleasure.” Simeon grabbed Levi’s shoulder. “The… Continue reading Time To Go Home
Heading Home
When Jacob walked by Laban’s sons he couldn’t help over-hearing their conversation. “Jacob got rich off Abba’s flocks.” “Yeah, everything he has once belonged to Dad.” “Why are his goats so much bigger than our goats? How’d that happen?” One glance at Laban and Jacob felt like the outsider he was. That looked carried so… Continue reading Heading Home

Our Broken Heart is Still Beating
As much as I didn’t want to do it my budget told me I had to take the through-the-night delivery beginning Tuesday night. It was scheduled to depart near DFW Airport at midnight. I was to take some mail to Memphis Wednesday morning. I pulled away from the dock with the load at 1:30 am.… Continue reading Our Broken Heart is Still Beating
This is where I’ll likely be in 25 years
I’ve seen a lot of stuff recently about setting goals. Much of it revolves around seeing where you’ll be in twenty five years. The logic stems from the idea that if you can think something then you can achieve it. Ask Mitt Romney how well that works, or Michael Dukakis, or anyone else who ran… Continue reading This is where I’ll likely be in 25 years
