I am not afraid of blood. I recently had a minor altercation with a bar sticking out about head height while I was cutting grass with a riding lawn mower. When I hit the pipe, it about knocked me off the mower. After stopping to assess the damage, I didn’t feel blood, so I finished…
I enjoy living in Georgia where we have four seasons for the most part. Every now and then, we have such a mild winter, or a hot spring and it feels like we skipped a season. There are also more than four seasons of life. I have had seasons where I felt really close to…
I’m not a person who loves or thrives on confrontation. I don’t see a lot of value in running from confrontation when I see it coming. Confrontation conversations can be awkward and hard, but very healthy. I once heard Dave Ramsey say that “to be unclear is to be unkind”. I think confrontation doesn’t always…
I’ve been around people who are very impressed with themselves. They think that “they’re all that and a bag of chips”. They act better than everyone else. It’s called pride and arrogance for sure. “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”(Lord Acton 1834) I’ve met some…
I think it’s a good practice to look back at my history every now and then. How did I get here? What are some of the choices that brought me to this place in life? Who are some people that I connected with along life’s journey that helped me to where I am? The answers…
I remembered an old saying that I still hear being repeated…. “That was the straw that broke the camel’s back”! The picture I have in my mind is a camel loaded with supplies and belongings for a family and one last thing was thrown on his back and he broke down. The straw is obviously very…
I love the taste of good food. You can tell by looking at me that I haven’t missed many meals. LOL! A couple of my favorite lunch places is The Mustard Seed at City Station and The Highland Deli. Our town has some amazing eateries in the downtown area. I enjoy a good piece of…
It seems like the presidential elections never stop going. Once a new president is elected, the process is started to think about who will replace him or her. The new president is starting to think how he/she can earn four more years. In our local area, we have county commission races getting underway and also…
I learned a long time ago that a nice house doesn’t make a home. The family inside the home are what make it home. I want to be where my family is, and we can adjust to most any place. I think it probably goes without saying, but a sharply dressed man or woman doesn’t…
There have been times in my life where justice was served. People who know me, know that I have a bit of a struggle when it comes to driving within the speed limits set by law. I try to live on purpose and I am often pushing hard to get to my next appointment. I…
