I first met Marcia on a Sunday morning. She approached me before our adult fellowship time and introduced herself. She said she noticed me a week or two before that sitting by myself. She said I looked defeated. This was a few years ago…after my wife left me and before I lost my secure job… Continue reading I just prayed for 150 men…one book at a time

This Week I Lingered at Linger
This past Friday and Saturday Stonebriar Community Church hosted the 2017 Linger Conference. Why do they call it the Linger Conference? I wondered the same thing until I received an email from the man in charge when I offered to volunteer for setting up on Thursday. The email came from none other than Chris Linger.… Continue reading This Week I Lingered at Linger
A Look Back at 2016
Well, Christmas was a hot one in north Texas. We set a record high of 80 degrees. You can have your white Christmases. I’ve endured enough of them in my lifetime, thank you very much. Don’t feel too sorry for us. We did endure a couple of nights in the teens last weekend. I don’t… Continue reading A Look Back at 2016
Do I See What You See?
I’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately. I’m been all over Texas…from Houston to San Antonio to El Paso to Amarillo to Wichita Falls and all over the Dallas area this month. Outside of Texas I’ve been to Oklahoma City, OK, Memphis, TN, and Shreveport, LA multiple times. When a truck driver does that… Continue reading Do I See What You See?
Normal for me is spelled Frustrating Chaos
For anybody who missed me, or this blog post anywho, this past Monday I have an extremely good reason for being AWOL. My computer/internet router/modem gave up the ghost at an extremely awkward moment. Let’s back up to last Thursday evening. I received an email from The Upper Room devotional folks about one of the… Continue reading Normal for me is spelled Frustrating Chaos
El Paso Lessons From an 18-wheeler Driver
Texas has some extremely diverse landscapes. If you love the ocean life we can deliver it with, or without, a barrier island. If you prefer hills and trees the east side is for you. Vast farm land is in our western counties. Rugged hills are in our mid-section. I live in Plano. It was so… Continue reading El Paso Lessons From an 18-wheeler Driver
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
My Life is in Transition Which Looks Like I’m Not Going Anywhere
Have you ever felt like you’re simply spinning your wheels? No matter what you try, or how hard you try to change, things just stay the same. That’s Wade Webster’s story at this present moment. Case in point: my lease is up in a couple of months. That means I just received options for renewal… Continue reading My Life is in Transition Which Looks Like I’m Not Going Anywhere
What is up with these kids’ parents today?
It could have been me this Sunday. I was the guy who accepted a drive to Memphis, Tennessee that left at midnight Friday. My budget was yelling at me again after I sat around Tuesday through Friday with no work. I’m not complaining, just showing you what the life of a temporary truck driver is… Continue reading What is up with these kids’ parents today?
Okay, I Admit it. I’m OCD.
July plus Texas equals HOT! It’s a simple equation every Texan lives with. My Michigan bones still have enough permafrost in them that I appreciate the heat when I first go into it. Hydration is key to survival. In an attempt to stay out of the heat I went for a run about ten in… Continue reading Okay, I Admit it. I’m OCD.
