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

It Ain’t Easy Being the Pre-THE Wade Webster These Days
I recently got a notice someone tagged me in a photo on Facebook. When I checked it out there was some dude in the picture that didn’t look anything like me. Apparently his name is also Wade Webster. I left a comment that he wasn’t THE Wade Webster, me. He’s that Wade Webster, him. I… Continue reading It Ain’t Easy Being the Pre-THE Wade Webster These Days
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
My Mountain Perspective From a Big Rig
Which do you prefer when driving near mountains? Do you like to go around them, over them, of through them? If neither of those appeal to you you must be a Christ follower who prefers Jesus’s option. Watch this video to find out His unique approach to dealing with mountains. I’ll see you later. … Continue reading My Mountain Perspective From a Big Rig
If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier
I still derive most of my income from driving trucks, eighteen-wheeler semi’s mostly. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve come up behind a vehicle traveling slower than me. My inclination is to pass them when it’s safe to do so. More times than not the other driver speeds up before I can… Continue reading If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier
Today I Turn Double Nickels
Milestones seem to be coming at me at a fast clip lately. Clifford broke the 200,000 mile mark just before I broke the old speed limit on my age. I hope to be able to afford new brakes on Clifford soon. Me I’m not so worried about. Watch the video to see why I say… Continue reading Today I Turn Double Nickels
Sprig haz Sprung id Dort Tekas
Ahhh…the smell of pollen in the air. Spring has arrived early in North Texas this year. El Nino has been kind to us while other folks are still digging snow, with angst and vulgar vocabulary. Our popcorn trees have popped. The redbud trees are purple again. The Bluebonnets shall be blue very soon. The assault… Continue reading Sprig haz Sprung id Dort Tekas
Happy Leap Day Y’all!
Here it is…the day you’ve waited four years for. February 29th–that extra day that keeps us up to date with the orbit of the earth around the sun. That means you have an extra day to get caught up on those items you’ve been putting off, like going to the gym (remember that resolution?). I… Continue reading Happy Leap Day Y’all!
Have You Lost Any Fridged Digits This Winter Yet?
Fridged Digits…it must be a term I made up while I survived too many Michigan winters growing up. Spell check doesn’t have the word fridged in its records. It’s apparently not from Michigan. I lost track of the number of times I had tears in my eyes while I ran water over my hands to… Continue reading Have You Lost Any Fridged Digits This Winter Yet?
I finally have my word for the year: PERSEVERE
Don’t freak out on me now. No, this isn’t Monday morning, just a Monday morning blog post from me. I have two reasons for posting this now: first, the subject matter of the devo post is too important to treat lightly–Jesus’s second coming; and second, my life is so busy with life at the moment… Continue reading I finally have my word for the year: PERSEVERE
