I had the opportunity last night to hear a band called Paris Luna play at the AMP in downtown Carrollton. It was a great show. I simply love good live music. I like seeing the players play with passion that comes from deep inside. Music is a special language that communicates to places in my…
This is word that I was taught at an early age. The word carries with it some pretty self-explanatory descriptive terms such as: respectful, submissive, modest, unassertive and much more. My parents modeled humility for me and out of my journey with the Lord, I’ve realized over the years how important it is to be…
I know that I have several things to do today. I will probably make myself a punch list here in a few moments. As I go through out the morning in the office, the list of things will spill over into the afternoon. I can usually foresee a busy day coming. Lately it seems like…
That word makes me think of cartoon characters who can be made to be infinitely strong and flexible and even survive the most brutal beatings. I’ve seen Wile E. Coyote die several times in many episodes and still he’s back chasing the road runner. When I say mighty in terms of God, it’s way bigger…
It’s voting season and the campaign is in full swing. In the United States we have pretty much two political parties and after the two parties have chosen a candidate, the candidates choose a running mate and we’re off toward election day on the first Tuesday in November.

I love the little icon smiley face. 🙂 I enjoy smiling and I love to see others smile. I’ve always especially loved as a Dad to see my kids smile. A smile reveals a happy heart even if it’s just for a moment. My Mom used to say it takes more facial muscles to…
After turning the big 50 last year, I find myself thinking about my health and my well being. I wonder how long I will live. I notice the age of people obituary in the paper. There seems to be too many that are near my age. I understand that this will continue until my picture…
I’ve definitely prayed frantically before. I’ve prayed for big things to happen. I’ve prayed for God to show up in a big way. I’ve begged God to hear me. There is a sense of desperation in these prayers. David prayed such a prayer when he was hiding in a cave from the pursuit of King…
I love to smell good stuff. One of my health issues over the years have been allergy related and I don’t smell as well as I once did. In fact just yesterday, I was showing a home and the potential buyer smelled what they thought to be a pet odor, and I could barely pick…
