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

There is at least one advantage to living a non-routine life

God calls some folks to live ordinary lives. He ordains them to be accountants because they like working with numbers and helping people keep their taxes straight. He makes some to enjoy playing with Dremmel tools in victims’ mouths so they’re dentists their entire working lives. Farmers love working the soil and watching plants and… Continue reading There is at least one advantage to living a non-routine life

A Voice From a Fire

“Come along fellas. We need to eat the top of the mountain and work down. Most of you know that.” Moses looked back. The sheep were following him up the trail. They settled into a high meadow with good grass. The sheep were soon content as they chewed their meal. A crackling sound caught his… Continue reading A Voice From a Fire

Military Bootcamps Have Age Restrictions for a Reason

I never enlisted into military service when I was younger. Now, I’m pretty sure I’m “over qualified” to do so. I say that because they have age restrictions in place to protect the enlistee and the government agency in charge. Very few 55 year olds can withstand the physical rigors of eight weeks of bootcamp… Continue reading Military Bootcamps Have Age Restrictions for a Reason

Disasters are happening all around me. I don’t deserve this.

God sure has strange ways of increasing my income lately. Often it comes at the expense of others. Case in point: last week I went into work to deliver windows. I was told it was going to be a three and a half day run east of Ft Worth. When I got to work Tuesday… Continue reading Disasters are happening all around me. I don’t deserve this.

Where Has My Country Gone?

I love the United States of America. I love the fact we claim the most freedoms of any country in the world. I love the work ethic I share with most of our citizens. I don’t like where I see our great country heading. Our democratic society is being derailed by non-democratic power hungry liberals.… Continue reading Where Has My Country Gone?

A PLEA AND A PROBE

Isaac walked to his rock overlooking the valley he called home. He didn’t come to try to count the herds of sheep or goats. The cattle were of no interest today, neither. Instead of sitting on the rock to study his surroundings he fell to his knees and placed his forehead against the stone. His… Continue reading A PLEA AND A PROBE
