We have finally made it to the point in our remodel project to be able to put paint on the ceilings and walls. So I got the bright idea to try and find an airless paint rig. I put the word out and found a couple of folks who had one and would let me [...]

Dust Storms and West Texas
Posted in Community, Humor on February 28, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I have often wondered what prompted early settlers to put down roots here in this area of west Texas. Most days I would say it was the beautiful sunrises or sunsets. Or maybe the magnificence of wide-open space. But after a day like yesterday, I wonder if the wheels didn’t just come off of their [...]

Last Saturday, the wind was blowing from the south at about 40 miles per hour. The dirt was blowing and so was anything else that was not nailed down. Kristi and I decided to make a quick trip to Lubbock to do a little shopping. Now for those of you not familiar with the geographical [...]
We Do Some Weird Things

Every once in a while, I ponder over things that make me go, “huh?” We do some weird things in our culture. Things like: Say we need to exercise more but fight over the parking spot closest to the front door of the store. Drive to three different gas stations comparing prices in order to [...]

Several days ago I received a courtesy letter from my eye doctor telling me it was time for my annual check-up. Yesterday morning I decided I would attack my To Do list and get some quick “wins” by being able to check something off. So I called the eye doctor to schedule an appointment – [...]

Yesterday, Kristi and I both took a vacation day from work and went shopping to wrap up our Christmas shopping – OK, we went and did ALL our shopping (prior to yesterday, we had not bought a gift)! It was a great day – being together and getting things done. But what made the day [...]
Routine Christmas

One of my favorite Christian comedians is Tim Hawkins. I ran across this clip and was reminded of how we often sing words and don’t even think about what we are singing. This Christmas, don’t let the routine get in the way of the meaning of Christmas. Stop and think about it. Remember that Christmas [...]
Road Closed – You’re On Your Own
Posted in Hope, Humor on November 4, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday, as I was driving to Post, I saw a rather comical sight. I was driving down the highway and saw a “Road Closed” sign for a crossroad. The sign said, “Route 281 Closed, Find Alternate Route.” Maybe it’s just me but I chuckled when I saw the sign. Typically, when a road is closed, [...]
Stretching is Necessary

With the weather being so pleasant over the past two weeks (and partly due to the inspiration of my youngest son) instead of getting my cardio exercise done on a machine in the gym, I have been beginning my workout each time by running outside. I mapped off a mile and decided I would start [...]
Monday Morning Even on Tuesday

I set my alarm early this morning to get up and have my prayer and reading time and then to write a truly inspired and inspiring blog post for today. Instead, I turned the alarm off and thought, “I will just lay here and pray.” Yeah, that didn’t work! I turned over again and realized, [...]
