I had a good friend in college…we were both studying sciences hoping to go on to medical school or dental school. We were pretty comparable in grades and aptitude. There was one big difference between us. My friend had a passion for becoming a dentist…he was not going to be denied. He didn’t initially get … Continue reading “Seek The Lord … And He Shall Be Found”

“You’re Killing Us Out There
Originally posted June 2, 2020 I still have many memories of my athletic career. I have occasional dreams of soaring above the rim and crashing the ball thru with the defender helplessly falling down…perhaps even a bit of “trash talk”. Boy, I seem to get better with age.

“The Dog House”
Originally posted June 1, 2020 It was a pretty common phrase around our house as we grew up. “Woah, what happened here……oh,Tommy’s in the “dog house”…. O-o-oh.” "The Dog House" I still find myself using the phrase today. After our 10 kids made their way thru the “dog house”, even I can find my way … Continue reading “The Dog House”
“Look To The Back Of The Book”
As I woke up today, the sun was shining and I felt pretty good…pretty hopeful. Not a lot has changed… we are still in the midst of a lot of confusion and craziness with the divide in our nation and church, but it’s a beautiful day.

The eye is the calmest part of the hurricane located in the center. The entire hurricane rotates … Continue reading “Eye of the Hurricane”
“ELECTION DAY…..Lord Have Mercy !!!”
Well November 3, 2020 is election day. Everyone I know is nervous. It really does look like a historic time for the future of our nation. Usually it seems the political parties try and camouflage some of their positions...but this year the positions seem to be pretty clear.

“Humble Yourself And You Will Be Exalted”
Have you ever arrived at a dinner or banquet and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, are you kidding me, we’re sitting here”… maybe your next to the band or next to the bathroom, or in the far corner. I’m embarrassed to say that sometimes I’ve had that reaction. Most times it doesn’t really bother me, but at other times it can hit … Continue reading “Humble Yourself And You Will Be Exalted”

Originally posted May 28, 2020 What would it have been like to join the “Inklings”(Oxford Writer’s Group) as they met at the “Eagle & Chicken” Pub in Oxford to discuss their latest writings. J.R.R.
