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

58 Orbits
I got older last week. I guess we all aged the same seven days, but mine had a bump Thursday that hits everyone once a year. I completed my fifty-eighth orbit around the sun. For those of you who are mathematically challenged that means I turned 58 last week. I hate to admit this but,… Continue reading 58 Orbits
A Day of Closing Doors
They say a writer has to develop tough skin to make it as an author. I feel like a rock right about now. In a matter of a few hours I just had a couple of doors close that I had high hopes for when I left for church on Sunday morning. Door number one… Continue reading A Day of Closing Doors
When I Can’t, God Does
I’ve learned to expect a rough time leading up to a Kairos weekend event, especially one where I have to give a talk to the men in white. Last week was no exception. The week started out just fine. Friday was a whole nuther animal. Actually Tuesday and Wednesday night I slept terribly. It didn’t… Continue reading When I Can’t, God Does
WE HAVE SINNED
“Seventy years…” Daniel sat back and rolled up the scroll. “Let’s see, I was just a kid when we came to Babylon. Now I’m…it can’t be. Have we changed? LORD, I hope so. Please!” He paced on the roof of his house missing the noon meal while he contemplated what needed to be done. Going… Continue reading WE HAVE SINNED
Down But Not Out…Yet
A warning before you decide to open this blog post. I’m sleep deprived and beat down. So if you’re looking for feel good and funny you probably better move on. I’m in the mood for real today. How many times have you endured more month than money? Well, I’m there now. September 2018 is going… Continue reading Down But Not Out…Yet
Death is a Part of Life
When you grow up on a farm you learn two important lessons pretty early in life. The first lesson is that the work isn’t done until it’s finished, no matter what the clock says. I come across folks all the time who look at the clock and base that as to when they can quit… Continue reading Death is a Part of Life
Eek is One Step Closer
When my pre-writer’s creative mind came up with the idea for a mouse that thinks his name is Eek because that’s what people say when they see him I didn’t know I would be the one writing his story. It’s been quite a journey for me. This adventure began it’s next leg about ten years… Continue reading Eek is One Step Closer
I’m a Recruiter for Kairos
Since I lived to tell about my first weekend in prison others think they want to join me. I guess that makes me a leader. I’ve led by example before but not to this extent. I hate seeing trash in the city park I run in. So, instead of looking at it I stop and… Continue reading I’m a Recruiter for Kairos
Well…I lived to tell about it
Wow! I’m so excited I’ll write that backwards. Wow! Last week was quite something else. I hoped to take Monday and Tuesday off to prepare for the Kairos weekend. God had other plans. The window company dispatcher called the Friday before saying he needed someone to take an overflow load to Kansas. It sounded like… Continue reading Well…I lived to tell about it
