For the record I just completed two consecutive uneventful weeks. No, boredom hasn’t set in yet. I think it may occur about August 15th after the way the first month and a half were to me. Driving is taking most of my time these days. I have two companies fighting over who I’ll be driving… Continue reading A Mid-month Newsletter-ish Post

I Saw Jesus Today
After my encounter with a homeless man in January, which you can read about here, I began to think about ways Jesus shows up in everyday life. By keeping Matthew 25:31-46 in mind I came up with four scenarios. Writing stories comes in many forms. Full length books are the most common way people think… Continue reading I Saw Jesus Today
My Events are Getting More Serious
It’s Sunday night as I write this blog post. I just got home from a two day run that started late Thursday night. Oh, yeah…another event happened to me. This is the second time this year I’ve been stranded in a motel room for over a day because of an event. An uneventful week would… Continue reading My Events are Getting More Serious
I Took a Half Step Backwards This Week
2018 has been giving me quite a ride so far. Stranded in Corpus Christi a full day. More winter weather in one day than in the past three years. This week I had to go back to my former temp agency to fill an emergency run for a client that likes me too well. I… Continue reading I Took a Half Step Backwards This Week
And Yet Another Crazy Week Was Endured
I kept reminding myself I moved to Texas to get away from winter weather. It still finds me ocassionally just the same. I went to work Tuesday expecting to drive to Shreveport. I was informed that trip was cancelled when I tried to pick up the paperwork for it. My dispatcher said there was a… Continue reading And Yet Another Crazy Week Was Endured
The First Week of 2018 was Eventful
2017 went out with a blast and 2018 came in with a blast of cold air plus some interesting things I never saw coming. On New Years Eve I accepted a driving assignment to Corpus Christi, Texas. It began at 9:30 PM. That all seemed innocent enough and it was. The tractor I was given… Continue reading The First Week of 2018 was Eventful
The Last Week of 2017 was Interesting
Here we are again. Another calendar needs to be replaced because it is all used up. I can relate. I just hope I’m not replaced, too. My 2017 was filled with challenges, heartbreak and sadness balanced by laughter, creativity and friendship. As I was seeing my rear view of the past twelve months slip away… Continue reading The Last Week of 2017 was Interesting
A Christmas Medley for Y’all
I didn’t know what I was going to post for Christmas this year. This was important since I usually send out a new post on Monday morning and Christmas falls on a Monday. While driving to Lubbock this week I experienced both kinds of snow…falling snow on the way into Lubbock Friday, and fallen snow… Continue reading A Christmas Medley for Y’all
My Month as Santa’s Helper
December 2017 will go down as the month I got to live out a life goal. I spent this past month helping Santa deliver cards, letters and packages between Dallas and Lubbock. So, I guess I can check this off my bucket list. As of the writing of this post I still have a week… Continue reading My Month as Santa’s Helper
I lived out a dream last week
Have you ever had one of those dreams you wish you never had? You know what I mean…someone is chasing you and you can’t move your legs…or a T-Rex is about to eat you alive. Yeah, you want to erase it from your memory but you can’t. Being poor has it’s pitfalls. Driving an old… Continue reading I lived out a dream last week
