“I Can See”
Originally Posted Oct. 22, 2023 I was a senior in high school and all my teachers had begun to write in very small letters. In fact pictures and posters in the room had all reduced in size.

“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.

“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.

It’s Humility We Need

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.
