“Cleaning Out The Garage”
Originally Posted Oct. 20, 2021 Cleaning out the garage seems to be a constant process. I get it cleaned up, swept out, everything is in it’s place…you could eat off the floor. I feel great about it. I invite Judy to come see it…”wow, what do you think?” She says it looks great. 20 minutes … Continue reading “Cleaning Out The Garage”
“No Turning Back”
Sometimes I wonder which actor will play me when they make a movie about my life. Will it be Paul Newman or Arnold Schwarzenegger, or perhaps Boris Karloff. Boris starred as the monster in the original Frankenstein movies…. yes Boris was quite a handsome and charismatic actor…. what elocution and articulation as he uttered those … Continue reading “No Turning Back”
It’s Humility We Need
You would think that when you reach the ripe old age of 76, you would have figured a few things out…. hey I’ve been around for awhile, I know a couple of things… I finally KNOW MYSELF, and I KNOW GOD. Yet to be honest, I keep getting surprised. At times when things seem to be … Continue reading It’s Humility We Need
“Wow, Great Grandparents”
On the back cover of the November 3, 1994 Daily News, the headline read “Clueless Joe…Torre Has No Idea What He’s Getting Into”. The author of the article was Ian O’Connor. To be honest, I’ve never heard of Ian O’Connor, but I have heard of Joe Torre, and he led the Yankees to four World Series titles. Gee Ian, I … Continue reading “Wow, Great Grandparents”
“Lo! I Tell You A Mystery”
I have to say that I’m ready for a good mystery. I’m ready for a mystery of hope, a mystery of gladness, a mystery of joy. I’m ready to hear a mystery where death is finally defeated. I’m really tired of those who are dear to us, leaving and passing away. I’m tired of death. … Continue reading “Lo! I Tell You A Mystery”
Jesus Was Never “Ho-Hum”
Originally Posted Oct. 18, 2023 Sometimes I read thru a few verses in the Bible and almost fall asleep. I may think “that’s interesting, good point made by the Lord there, hmmm, he seemed a bit upset…”. It’s like I have a “damper” on the word of God…something to subdue or deaden the meaning. This … Continue reading Jesus Was Never “Ho-Hum”
“Spiritual Muscle Memory”
Originally Posted Oct. 15, 2021 They say you never forget how to ride a bike. That being said, I was a bit wobbly on a recent bike ride… no crashes, but I didn’t try any wheelies. I think I’ve developed a bit of muscle memory. “When a movement is repeated over time, a long-term muscle … Continue reading “Spiritual Muscle Memory”
“From Vinnie To St. Vincent”
Originally Posted October 14, 2021 I think most Americans are fascinated with the “underdog”… the person or team that doesn’t have a chance for success, yet gains the victory overcoming incredible odds. Remember the movie “Rudy” ? “In the late 1960s Joliet, Illinois, Daniel Eugene "Rudy" Ruettiger dreams of playing football at Notre Dame, but … Continue reading “From Vinnie To St. Vincent”
“Testing”
Originally Posted October 13, 2021 Testing can reveal many things. How deep are my beliefs? How strong is my faith? It seems we don’t really know these answers until we are tested. When an engineer is testing a boiler to see if it’s working properly, he puts it under pressure and checks for leaks. You … Continue reading “Testing”
