September 29, 2025 Greetings friends. And yet another attack upon a church! I don’t care what the denomination or the religion is, it causes great pain to my ‘ol ticker when these things take place. It seems that in times like these we must remind ourselves that God is sovereign and that His heart is…

Today, I would like to give you a bit of insight into our “retired” lives. Last Thursday and Friday we spent ten-hour days working on the house. When we get help we go hard. But it sure is coming along. One of these days we will have time to post some pictures for you. Yesterday…

September 26, 2025 Yesterday was another day of working on the exterior of this old house. Not only was it a day of working on the exterior, but more importantly it was another day of working on the roof of this old house! Before we go any further, you need to understand that yesterday was…

September 25, 2025 I’ll admit right up front that I have made plenty of just plain dumb decisions in my life. Some of those decisions have life-long effects, while others pass with time. Yet, most of those dumb decisions seemed to be good decisions at the moment. As a person ages, there are a lot…

September 24, 2025 As most of you know, we have spent our summer working on the outside of this ‘ol house. Many of those summer days were well above ninety degrees. It has been a hot one, and as such we have consumed gallons of water, tea and Propel in an effort to keep our…

September 20, 2025 The harsh reality is that death comes knocking for all of us and we have to say “farewell” to family, friends and earthly possessions. Yet how we answer the death call seems to be quite different. Some are ready, even looking forward to the call, while others tend to think of it…

September 21, 2025 Today is another Sunday, what will you do with it? Will you play golf, go fishing, go shopping, mow the lawn, visit family or friends, OR will you go to church? Perhaps you will join others and go to church, which church? Why go to that church? Will you go because pastor’s…

September 19, 2025 Now you have to know right up front that I’m not a “Trekkie.” I’ve never watched a complete episode of Star Trek, or any other science fiction program, so I have little idea of what I’m talking about for the next sentence or two. Supposedly, there is a “black hole” in space…

September 18, 2025 To follow up on yesterday’s post “They Danced!” we need to consider some of the elements of a good dance. First, there must be good music that is comfortable to dance to. Once again, today’s Country Music seems to be lacking in both categories, but is definitely short on danceability. Most of…
