Yesterday I had to make a flying trip (literally) to El Paso to finalize the details for our upcoming mission trip to the area. As I was boarding the plane to head home, I was behind a gentleman who was having a little difficulty managing his carry-on bags. He had a roll-on bag and then [...]
Not According to Plans

If you read my post last Thursday, you know that Kristi and I got away to celebrate 2o years of marriage. In my planning for our time together, I wanted to have at least one romantic meal. I did my research and even emailed the San Antonio Visitors center to get some ideas. After all [...]

Have you ever known someone whose given name reflected their occupation or career? Such as Mr. Farmer who farms for a living or Mrs. Cook who works in the school cafeteria? Last night we spent some time in the emergency room at the hospital with family friends whose son was in a car accident yesterday [...]

When you have three kids, the word schedule becomes an illusive term. When they were born, the word schedule meant that there were times to feed and times to sleep and times to play. Now that they are older, those elements still exist, but it is harder to keep them tied to any particular schedule. [...]

After yesterday’s Tough Topic Tuesday, I thought I would ramble a bit about the amusing aspects of air travel. (Wow, that sentence had all the alliteration of a good sermon). I have been traveling quite a bit over the past two weeks and have had the opportunity to be reminded of the funny things we [...]

As we move toward New Year’s Eve, I have been thinking about resolutions. Today I resolve that tomorrow I will offer some suggestions for 2010 New Year resolutions. But for today, here are four of the worst resolutions I have run across in a while! “I’m going to show my wife how much I really [...]
Just Have Fun

I was reading over some notes I took from a seminar this past summer with Ruth Haley Barton and I began to have ideas for a blog post dealing with what she said. But for some reason, as I meditated on how to put my thoughts into words, it dawned on me – most of [...]
Lesson On a Mini-Bike
Posted in Formation, Humor, Motivational on October 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
One of my earliest memories on a motorized vehicle was when I was about 6 years old or so. My dad had found a mini-bike. Now for you folks not familiar with such things, a mini-bike is a small two-wheeled invention with a five horse or so motor mounted on it – no gears, just [...]
Praying At Gun Point

I read something this morning and I thought, maybe I need to go back and qualify what I said yesterday. The post yesterday dealt with focusing on God even in the mundane tasks, giving God the glory for everything we do. In that way, we will begin to experience God’s presence in all things. But I [...]
