Modern technology has made life far from simple these days in my humble opinion. Most days I wish I could go back to not needing a computer. Last week I was forced into that mode. It began as a basic updating of my security account. The initial transaction was accomplished without a hitch. The problem… Continue reading No Computer

September Turning Point?
Well, here we are. The ninth month of 2019 is upon us. Currently most of my life is the same as it was in January. But… A few things are knocking…let’s call them opportunities. The business front looks the most promising now. I have a meeting trying to take place this week that will have… Continue reading September Turning Point?
I Just Knew It
Last week was a bit of a roller coaster ride for this truck driver turned writer. My writer side received the high point award while I delivered mattresses in Longview, Texas on Wednesday. Discount Mattress quickly became one of my favorite stops before this past week. It’s a family run operation…a mother-in-law daughter-in-law arrangement mostly.… Continue reading I Just Knew It
58 Orbits
I got older last week. I guess we all aged the same seven days, but mine had a bump Thursday that hits everyone once a year. I completed my fifty-eighth orbit around the sun. For those of you who are mathematically challenged that means I turned 58 last week. I hate to admit this but,… Continue reading 58 Orbits
My 2018 Review
Here we go again. Time to put up new calendars and try to remember to write 19 instead of 18 for the year ahead. My 2018 held a lot of surprises, most of them not so good. Right out of the chute I got stranded in Corpus Christi because of a company car that wouldn’t… Continue reading My 2018 Review
Thank You Heavenly Father-revisited
For those of you who’ve noticed I haven’t posted a new blog post for a couple of weeks, thank you for your prayers. I’ve been one super-hyper busy fella lately. Between driving and painting I hardly have time to breathe most days. I decided to resurrect a Thanksgiving poem for your enjoyment. I wrote this… Continue reading Thank You Heavenly Father-revisited
It’s Time for Time Travel
Did you miss it this time around? Were you so early for church you thought it must be a weekday? Yeah, that pesky time change has a way of sneaking up on us all. If you failed to set your clocks back an hour you found yourself an hour ahead of everyone else for a… Continue reading It’s Time for Time Travel
The 2018 SCC Men’s Retreat is in the Books as Another Winner
I’ve been attending the Stonebriar Men’s Retreats since 2010. Every year is different yet the same. This year was no exception. I’m always glad when I can go with the set up team on Thursday for several reasons. The Christian fellowship is amazing and fun. The team changes over the years but the comradery is… Continue reading The 2018 SCC Men’s Retreat is in the Books as Another Winner
Death is a Part of Life
When you grow up on a farm you learn two important lessons pretty early in life. The first lesson is that the work isn’t done until it’s finished, no matter what the clock says. I come across folks all the time who look at the clock and base that as to when they can quit… Continue reading Death is a Part of Life
And the Beat Goes On
The summer heat definitely hit Texas and surrounding states this past week…especially inside of a semi trailer while wrestling windows. The regular driver who took vacation time for two weeks couldn’t have chosen a better period, period. On Monday I had two stops in Dallas where I was in the trailer for well over an… Continue reading And the Beat Goes On
