MacBook Down, Need A Sub
I’m pretty proud of myself. My MacBook is on the blink… power cord problem.. so I’m composing a BLOG on my phone. I’m not sure it will work, but I’m giving it a try. I’m so focused on the nuts and bolts that I can barely think of the story. Hmmmmm. It reminds me of … Continue reading MacBook Down, Need A Sub
Wake Up !!!
Well, we’re several days into Advent… the season of “waiting”…. waiting for the 2nd coming of Christ and also anticipating the celebration of the historical birth of Jesus. The early readings focus on being ready…ready that Christ’s next coming, whether at the time of our death or his 2nd coming to the earth, doesn’t catch us asleep…. … Continue reading Wake Up !!!
“ Don’t Kill The Messenger”
Originally Posted Aug. 2, 2021 I think most of us have heard the phrase. “ a prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.” Jesus said it himself in Matthew’s gospel. (Mt.13:54-58) Why is that ? Is it because familiarity breeds contempt… “hey, I know you, you’re one of us… … Continue reading “ Don’t Kill The Messenger”
“Don’t Be Surprised”
Originally Posted July 30, 2021 It seems that I’m often getting surprised. It’s usually not a huge surprise…nothing earth shattering, but enough to knock me off balance a bit. Maybe an appointment gets cancelled or I’m asked to do something that I wasn’t planning and my schedule and plans get knocked out of whack. “David, … Continue reading “Don’t Be Surprised”

Any Good News ?
Originally Posted July 28, 2021 Is there any good news today? It does seem that all we hear about is bad news. Even sports is contaminated with a “haze of politics and anger”.

Black Friday– Another Opportunity To Give Thanks
Well it’s Thanksgiving night and I have to say I had a wonderful Thanksgiving …. great meal, enriching fellowship with a lot of laughs, modified slightly by some mediocre football viewing. You may be wondering did I overdo anything. Yes I must confess that I ate too much. I’m serious, I ate too much. The food was … Continue reading Black Friday– Another Opportunity To Give Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving
I can still remember the morning of Thanksgiving when I was young. The smell of the turkey cooking in the oven wafting through the house… the smell was heavenly. And then the preparation of the dressing and potatoes and gravy added to the smell and the ambience… the table being set. And then the first … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
Heaven Or Cryptocurrency
The other day I found myself thinking about how little I know about the many things going on in the world. Despite being 76 years old and having lived a full life with a good education, travel, study, having interfaced with many people, there is so much I don’t know. I don’t really know much … Continue reading Heaven Or Cryptocurrency
