How it was left!

I was having coffee with a friend the other day and I was asked about my blog. I replied that I have just been swamped with life as of late and just have not had time or the the heart to post. They expressed concern, as one of my recent posts declared  “I am a

I WAIT

I don’t know if you ever had a time in your life when you had to wait on God for something, I mean something more than just His coming back. Maybe it was a trial in your life, a time of uncertainty, or just clear direction. I feel like that is I where I am,

Fishing on the River

Its hard to believe that the summer has come and gone. Time seems to fly by and I can barely catch hold of the fleeting moments. Life is a bit quirky, but I find that OK as I realize that I also am a bit quirky. The tough part is figuring out just where I

End of the Rope

You ever felt like that? that you have reached the end of your rope? I have, and today is one of those days! As I ponder (East Texas translation of “thinking about”) my current situation and struggles, I was reminded of a poster that my high school math teacher kept on the front of his

Relationships

You ever felt like you were in a relationship where there was a lack of  trust?  Things like you’d stay up at night wondering if the other person was faithful?  Wondering if they had your best interest in mind?  Curious if you were just being used ?  Wondering when the shoe or hammer was going

Too Hard?

Have you ever lost something?  Had those times when you look and look and cannot find what your missing?  Then all of the sudden you see it, right out in the open, in plain sight (my friend calls that “man looking”).  You feel foolish.  How many times has that happened.  My dad used to say

Into the Deep End!

I remember how I first learned to swim!  It wasn’t one of those instructors at the YMCA  or a youth camp, nope,  it was my Dad who taught me, or more appropriately tossed me in the deep end and said swim or drown! We were on a rig location (generally a large area cleared and

Saving the Best til Last!

Life is interesting.  There is a story in the New Testament, where Jesus goes to a wedding (John 2:1-11).  Now weddings in those days aren’t like the weddings we have today.  They were often week long celebrations with lots of eating and drinking.  During this wedding that Jesus was at, the family ran out of

Scars

Scars are funny things. Some people want to hide them and others wear them like badges of honor.  Most guys like showing their scars and telling the great stories behind them.   I’m no exception. I have several unique scars and a couple unique stories behind them.  One scar on the bottom of my right  foot
