One of the highlights of my year just concluded. The Stonebrair Community Church’s 2015 Men’s Retreat is in the books as a real winner. The weather was all we could ask for. No rain, like last year’s event had; warm temperatures, cool mornings actually which is always a pleasant surprise in Texas in October; and… Continue reading My observations of the 2015 Stonebriar men’s retreat

The fields are white for harvest, y’all!
On a recent west Texas delivery route I experienced two incredible things. One of them I hadn’t seen in quite a while. The other one I had seen, but not at such high temperatures. What can I say? I had too many long miles in the truck that day. The times are short for us… Continue reading The fields are white for harvest, y’all!

Why are some miracles easier to believe than others?
Miracles are miracles because they don’t happen every day. But, I’ve found certain miracles are more believable depending on where a person lives. Watch my video to see a New Testament example and its Old Testament counterpart. I need to thank my new friends at Dreamstime.com for help with the pictures you’ll see.

West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan
When a writer has several hours behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler there’s too much time and not enough to think about. This blog post will be proof of what I’m talking about…or writing about, actually. This summer has been the year of West Texas window deliveries. I have a few observations to make since… Continue reading West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan
Spiritual journeys don’t need a lot of geographic space
I’m writing this post on Thursday, August 13, 2015. I should have started my day in Amarillo, Texas. God had other plans for me. His plans included a spiritual journey in my 700 square foot apartment.

Here’s an example of a sign I could easily read as coming directly from God to me when it actually says something entirely different. I tell… Continue reading I finally found my sign from God…or not.
My view of west Texas from behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler
