It happened again. Road Rage. I was neither the victim nor the enraged. This time I was responsible for the situation. I previously shared my thoughts on Road Rage. I trust that your driving skills have significantly improved, particularly in applying the “Love First, Love Most” techniques. I still struggle. My recent traffic incident didContinue reading “ROAD RAGE…AGAIN”

WINSDAY HOPE FOR SUNDAY
Where do you find hope to go on in life when circumstances are bad? The doors were locked; but suddenly the resurrected Jesus was standing among the disciples and hugging them. Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger into my hands. Put your hand into my side. Do not doubt any longer. Just Believe!” ThomasContinue reading “WINSDAY HOPE FOR SUNDAY”
DREAMS (and a Big Biscuit)
These are the ramblings of a sleepy man. “I had the weirdest dream last night.” How many times have you said that? Sometimes it is the “wildest” or “strangest” or “scariest” or “worst” dream ever. Occasionally, it might be your “best” or “recurring” dream. Do not worry. I am not going to recall all theContinue reading “DREAMS (and a Big Biscuit)”
TARIFFS and TREASURES
The word for the week is Tariffs. President Trump’s Tariffs have dominated this news cycle. A tariff is a tax levied by the government on imported goods. Treasure refers to someone or something of great worth or value. We all have treasures of some value. We all are affected by tariffs at some level. MyContinue reading “TARIFFS and TREASURES”
TROUT FISHING…AGAIN
Oh, the thrill of trout fishing! This session is for all of you. Those who know and love the thrill of Field and Stream and those of you who fail to see the point, much less the fun of the hunt or cast. I can identify with both parties, mainly the latter. My wife comesContinue reading “TROUT FISHING…AGAIN”
GUARDIANS of the GRANDKIDS…AGAIN
My son was recently honored by the basketball Final Four as a Guardians of the Game for Leadership. One would think ‘leadership’ would be a noble aspiration for any grandparent. Reality is more like, “Which way did they go?” Some of our grandkids are into Marvel movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. The premise forContinue reading “GUARDIANS of the GRANDKIDS…AGAIN”
STORMS…AGAIN
LOVE NEVER CRACKS UNDER PRESSURE. Storms will come in life. The question is not IF, but WHEN. I want to restate my main point before you finish reading or listening. LOVE NEVER CRACKS UNDER PRESSURE. This past week’s news focused on storms. There were strong tornadoes and damaging wind-driven fires. The word “storm” refers toContinue reading “STORMS…AGAIN”
MY LAST BREATH…AGAIN
ALL OF LIFE IS A STEWARDSHIP FOR WHAT LIES BEYOND! EVERY BREATH MIGHT BE THE LAST ONE. That is not cause for fear but for renewed purpose. Death is certain. The percentages are perfect. It is one common experience we will all share. Death is not funny, but a little humor can ease some ofContinue reading “MY LAST BREATH…AGAIN”
A Knight in Shining Armor…Again
It was the night I became the Knight in Shining Armor. I slew the dragon. I beat up the monster. I scared away all the ghosts. And I saved the lovely maiden. I won her heart…again. Our beautiful young daughter won my heart at our first meeting. As I pulled back the blanket to getContinue reading “A Knight in Shining Armor…Again”
DARK IS THE NIGHT…AGAIN
It happened again. This was the worst. The darkness began to press in. Press down. Press all around. It was not the darkness of night. It was that darkness of the soul which battles and baffles us all. Some more than others. My soul cried. I prayed for the darkness to disperse or, at least,Continue reading “DARK IS THE NIGHT…AGAIN”
