Do the Right Thing – Do it All the Time
The other day, driving down my street, I stopped at the stop sign and caught sight of a black bag sitting on the corner. I knew that the school bus picked up there so I figured it was a lunch kit. I went to investigate, and found it was a $1000+ Nikon camera. I knew […]

Website Frustration & the Good ol’ Days
The other day I received an email from my grandfather, basically venting, regarding the frustration he experienced while attempting to order a couple of bath mats online. I read through his email and started to chuckle, because we all have been there. Links that don’t work Not compatible with Internet Explorer Flash that isn’t operating […]

You never know what’s in store – GRWC
What an interesting day! It started out before sunrise Saturday. I was drinking my first cup of coffee when the windows illuminated a brilliant pinkish red color – Uh oh, I thought. Red skies in the morning, sailors warning. My mother’s voice echoed in my head. This was a bad omen. Is this going to […]

Stop Waiting for Life to Begin
It occurred to me the other day, that we are all waiting for something. When we are younger we are waiting for the next day. We’re waiting for school to end, waiting for the week to end, we’re waiting for the year to end. Then we wait for the summer to end, wait until junior […]

Follow Me – Who am I?
Every social media site has their ‘thing’. Facebook is like, Twitter is tweet, LinkedIn is link, Pintrest is Pin, and a blog has follow. It wasn’t until Sunday at church that it occurred to me how conceited that is. Who am I to ask you to follow me? Jesus said, “Come, Follow Me and I […]

Step up to the bat
Our pastor this Sunday was discussing “The Purpose Driven Life” where the author used the illustration of a baseball diamond as the progression of a Christian life. 1st Base: bring people to faith where they give their life to Christ. 2nd Base: We help them grow in Christ through Sunday School. 3rd Base: We help […]

Monopoly didn’t teach us right
I used to play Monopoly with a young friend of mine. He was actually very good. He would buy a property and immediately put a hotel on it that way he can get the largest amount of rent. I would buy a property and maybe put a house on it, that way I could get […]

How can we eradicate evil?
From the beginning of time, there has been evil. What is evil? The opposite of good, some would say. But to eradicate anything not good would be to remove free will which is what evil is. Not that all free will can turn out bad, that is why God gave us free will. He wants […]

Life is like a….
What IS life like? A box of chocolates? Sweet, yummy, melts in the sun? A bag of chips? Salty and filling but leaves your hands dirty? A camera? Capturing the good moments but getting out of focus during action shots? A blanket? Keeping you warm on cold nights until your spouse rolls over and takes […]
