There is no doubt in my mind that this has been an interesting year. I haven’t journaled for a while, this thing called life stepped into the path and no alternatives existed for me to sit down and ponder. Now, with a week away from work, I sit looking out the window across the way,…

Raising Eyebrows
The world is in a precarious position. I don’t think it takes rocket science to figure out that chaos is abounding, disorder is the order of the day and mankind is oblivious to the collision course we are on with certain destiny. Pretty deep opening statement; but true nonetheless. A few years ago on Easter…
A.O.T.P – All Over The Page
So it’s been a while since I posted a simple random thread. It’s Sunday afternoon and I figured while it’s still weekend, and the sun is fixing to set, and a few random things have happened lately, this would be a good time to catch up on my random access to information…in my mind. I…
Faithful to Another’s Vision
1 Kings 19v19-21 So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him. Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and…
Short Verse, Deep Meaning.
John 11v35 “Jesus wept.” One noun, one verb…that’s it. It’s been bothering me for a short while, why Jesus would weep. Most of us know the backdrop to this story.

Hole in One; the Importance of Team Work
John my neighbor and I were chatting the other day. He is 93 and enjoys a game of golf with his buddies. He was telling me how his eyesight is failing, and the DMV won’t renew his license so he can no longer drive, let alone see where he is going most of the time….

God Gave Me You
Just finished listening to a song by Dave Barnes – God Gave Me You (for the ups and downs), and as I listened to the lyrics it dawned on me that for sure some people are put across our path by the Lord for a specific reason, be it for good or bad. Ah how…
Keeping It Simple
I often marvel at the technology that is available at our fingertips and the freedom we have today to share information across a multitude of platforms. It was in 1995 that I sat in my office with an internet technician hooking up my computer to the “internet” via a “dial-up” modem. At the time I had no…
