If you’ve spent any amount of time on Earth, you realize that there are things out there that hold you back. The things you really, really want in your life don’t come easily. It seems the more you want something, the greater the obstacles that stand in the way of you receiving it. So, how…
Well, it’s election season and most folks are caught up in the hate; the anger; the rhetoric! Friends in danger of deletion; permanent and temporary! LOL Folks polarizing to one side or the other and end up agreeing with things they don’t agree with, all for the sake of defending their side! Crazy huh? I’ve…
It never ceases to amaze me (and other well-worn clichés) how many folks there are that believe in God, but don’t believe in God! The idea that some folks (God bless ’em) go their whole lives confessing their belief in God yet never receiving a blessed thing from Him seems a little crazy to me. …
Probably not what you were thinking, but maybe… I haven’t been able to weed the flower beds for about 3 weeks now and I found them completely overrun with weeds. I don’t mean a “pull some dandelions business,” I mean more weeds per square inch than flowers. Morning Glory, which aint so glorious are surrounding…

I mean after all I…
Been awhile, I must say, since a blog has bubbled out of me, but it’s time! Haha Have you ever seen the bumper stickers that say, “No Fear?” Great advice for living, but saying it and living it are two totally different animals. Fear is perhaps the most detrimental thing that can happen to a…
We’re all familiar with cause and effect, right? If you introduce a certain cause then you get a certain effect. If you mix two parts hydrogen with one part oxygen you get water, over and over and over again. But, what if the cause isn’t related to the effect? What if what you think is…
There’s a great epidemic that takes place in the world today! It is not technically a disease, though it behaves like one. It is not in the category of a plague, but tends to plague good folks on a regular basis. It is extremely common, normal and ordinary, yet in reality should be uncommon, abnormal…
As it turns out, my wife and I have successfully implanted a real zest for living life to the fullest into our children. Not too long ago we had one of those famous, intense, passionate Washington discussions about that very subject! During these heated debates it is not uncommon for the discussion to go on…
