Imagine this, you are in line at Wal-Mart, and while you pretend to be reading a news artcle, “Discovered: Alien Baby White Seals Are The Real Cause of Global Warming,” your eye keeps glancing over at the cart in front of you. You want to ask… but you don’t. You want to stare… but you [...]

First of all, How would you like to get married at what the article calls, “The Most Romantic [...]

The Biggest Loser
It has been a busy and wonderful couple of weeks. It all kicked in gear a week ago Sunday, with our congregation’s annual “Sunnybrook Day” at the South Main church of Christ. For thirty years they had been meeting their goal, but this year had many of us anxious. We have a lot of generous retired folks, [...]

Facebook, Farmville, and Fantasy Football
Before you get to wondering, this title is not just a blatant attempt to get my blog ”hit” count up. It really is about Facebook.

Swimmer’s Ear… Hope for the Aging
As mentioned last post, I am now on lap 48. It is quite interesting. Lap 48 feels a lot like lap 47… and 37. In fact, at least on the inside, it still feels a whole lot like 27. Maybe one NASCAR friend is right, based on the earth’s orbit, life is all left-hand [...]

Courage
Well, it seems the routines are slowly coming back. Schedules that were stretched all out of sort during the summer are now slowly coming back together.

Surfing, Jaws, and The Search for Truth
As summer winds down my schedule has yet to follow suit. It seems everyone is busy. Next week, however, the big yellow vessels of American enculturation will once again fill the mornings, kids will once again be about the business of being equipped to run the world, PB&J will be the lunch of choice, and [...]

All Ye Who Are Heavy Laden…
“Come unto me all of you who are weary and have heavy loads and I will give you rest. “ Jesus, Matthew 11:28

Michael Jackson, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the rest…
Life has been hectic to say the least. It is amazing how a week of church camp can stir the schedule. The weather was so hot at camp. The first few days we just “sweltered” (even the word sounds hot and muggy). At rest time we put cookies in the middle of the cabin… they [...]
