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

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
Be Extraordinary Consider the Ant
Have you taken the time to consider ants like Solomon tells us to in the book of Proverbs? The ants in my neighborhood have gotten my attention lately by their weird behavior. By thinking about how they’ve decided to be extraordinary I’ve chosen to follow their lead and be extraordinary, too. Watch my video to… Continue reading Be Extraordinary Consider the Ant
There is at least one advantage to living a non-routine life
God calls some folks to live ordinary lives. He ordains them to be accountants because they like working with numbers and helping people keep their taxes straight. He makes some to enjoy playing with Dremmel tools in victims’ mouths so they’re dentists their entire working lives. Farmers love working the soil and watching plants and… Continue reading There is at least one advantage to living a non-routine life
Can an Old Country Bumpkin Really Succeed Today?
The more I attempt to try new things the more I’m convinced I just need to find a team of folks who know what they’re doing. Case in point: I recorded my first Facebook Live event last week.

Eek’s Gifts Book Trailer
I just completed my first attempt at making a book trailer. Eek will be set loose upon the world next month so I thought I’d do my part to get the world prepared for his adorableness now.

You Can Have a Major Part in Writing 3 Books
Christmas is right around the corner. It’s getting too close for this author of 3 Christmas books. As a truck driver over the years I’ve delivered loads of mail, i.e. Christmas Cards and packages; I even spent three days one year delivering fully decorated Christmas trees from a mall to folks who bought them on… Continue reading You Can Have a Major Part in Writing 3 Books
Military Bootcamps Have Age Restrictions for a Reason
I never enlisted into military service when I was younger. Now, I’m pretty sure I’m “over qualified” to do so. I say that because they have age restrictions in place to protect the enlistee and the government agency in charge. Very few 55 year olds can withstand the physical rigors of eight weeks of bootcamp… Continue reading Military Bootcamps Have Age Restrictions for a Reason
Would Somebody Please Tell Me What Day it is Today?
Is it just me or has anyone else has lost track of what day it is? Part of my problem has to be the crazy work schedule I have to maintain just to maintain my budget.
