For the past few months I have been doing most of my writing in a facebook with a group of men. I have diligently written nearly every day based on my morning devotional time. My blog entries have been mostly confined to blogs written in honor of family members. Yesterday I noticed that even those… Continue reading Random Post – Defining a Blog

Catching Up – Good News with Mark & Me
I am going to start posting my daily reading and thoughts as a blog entry. I have structured this like I would train for distance running, short hard sprints during the week with long runs on the weekend. I am taking it small bites so don’t be intimidated. Anyone can handle 6 to 10 verses/day.… Continue reading Catching Up – Good News with Mark & Me
30 Years with My Bride – Pearl of Great Price
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.” 30 years ago, when Lynn’s father placed her hand in mine and we began a journey together I had no idea… Continue reading 30 Years with My Bride – Pearl of Great Price
Just a glimpse – Marriage of the Lamb
This is the first of several posts I will be posting today for my bride of 30 years. Fortunately, God likes those odds.

Three Decades with God’s Gift
Kneeling on the floor or labor room bathroom, I cried out to God. Having never experienced the “Joy of Childbirth” as our birthing classes were called, I was terrified. Lynn’s water had broken about 19 hours ago, Pitocin had been administered shortly after to “help” things along so we had been in hard labor for… Continue reading Three Decades with God’s Gift
Drought Condition – Is Fire Imminent? (The Prequel)
As I reflect on my last article, I realize a few things: My blog no longer has anything to do with it’s original intent (journaling my first marathon) and I really need to either start another blog or put some time into a revamping this one. That my running experience has brought out some of the initial… Continue reading Drought Condition – Is Fire Imminent? (The Prequel)
Drought Condition – Is Fire Imminent? (Part I)
Winter rolls into spring ushering in the hope of new life. Fresh green sprouts explode out of ground and branch, combining water and nutrients energy provided from above during the lengthening days, begin the annual process of replenishing the fruitfulness of the land.
