Often, I find myself asking why when it comes to some things of God. I am thankful I am not in control; however, I wonder why He does things. For instance why did He set a tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden for Adam and Eve to see everyday but not be… Continue reading Who Told You that You were Naked?

Keep Your Fork!
Some of you may have seen this before, but I think it’s worth the read over and over! There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things ‘in order,’ she contacted her Pastor and had him… Continue reading Keep Your Fork!
Into the Mud
As many of you know, we just built a house and moved into it New Year’s Day. While we are so excited to finally be here in our new city and new house, there are a couple of things that need touch up or help. One of those things is our yard. We have not… Continue reading Into the Mud
The Strong Ones
When I was a kid, my Daddy seemed bigger than life and so strong. I can remember riding on my Daddy’s shoulders, watching him dive off the diving board, and jumping the ocean waves holding his hand. Yesterday, these memories and more came to mind as I was privileged to participate in a podcast talking… Continue reading The Strong Ones

I realize sometimes it is beyond our control. Perhaps someone else is driving or there could be other circumstances. After 9/11… Continue reading Pet Peeves!
Is it Real?
We’ve all seen it. A player scores a touchdown and points upward. A team bows together seemingly praying. A player takes a knee with a bowed head perhaps praying. Or the really big one, when a celebrity claims to now be a Christian and is even producing albums of uplifting songs. Do we question it?… Continue reading Is it Real?
Ducks on the Pond
It’s almost baseball season! I love baseball! I don’t get to watch it enough on TV nor do I get to go to games as much as I’d like, but when I do, it’s wonderful! Before we had kids, we would try to go each year to see my favorite team in Chicago, the Cubs.… Continue reading Ducks on the Pond
Drugs are Good
Recently, I was talking with someone who used to work for a major drug company. Among the comments he made was the fact that the drug testing isn’t what it should be before drugs are released to the public. This is scary. Unfortunately, I grew up in a household where the answer for pain or… Continue reading Drugs are Good
