Times Like These
As of late I have been rather disconcerted with the way the world seems to be going. The political atomosphere in the US is about as low as it can get and I don’t really like any of the choices we have in presidential candidates. Morality is on a steady decline. Internationally, we have a war that is drawing out and most people are getting war weary, and we have nations with...
Read MoreMemory Verses
My wife and I are starting a memory verse program. We will be memorizing one verse per week and I would encourage you to memorize with us. I will post the verse to memorize up here every week as a reminder to me to be memorizing and so that you can participate if you want. It is so important not only to read God’s word but to know it. It is our weapon against the schemes of the...
Read MoreRandom (possibly made up) Fact (statement) #8
Well, I haven’t done a random fact in a while and I am sure you are all greatly missing it. Not to mention they are great space fillers in that they allow me to update my site with content that didn’t cost me much brain power. Before I get to the real reason for being here, I will throw out another random fact: This post make one hundred and sixty posts that I have written...
Read MoreAlter Bridge
Despite the fact that I play an accoustic guitar and am a big fan of folk-type music I still enjoy great rock too. I was a fan of Creed back in their day and I was sad when they broke up but what resulted from that is even better. Three of the original Creed group plus a new lead vocalist formed this new band. I really enjoy melodic rock, not the stuff that is a bunch of nonsense notes and...
Read MoreWriting Blockage
Sorry for my lack of posting these last couple weeks. I just haven’t felt like writing much. I can’t put my finger on the exact reason but every time I have sat down to write on an idea I end up giving up very quickly. I guess being sick can give you that I-don’t-really-care attitude. I think I am getting over it so there should be some new stuff up sometime soon. I...
Read MoreThe Week That Wasn't
This was a different week for me. I cannot recall a time in my recent life when I have been as sick as I was this week. Usually when I get sick it is for about a day and a half and during that time I can at least read a book or think to pass the time. This week was an oddity. After feeling completely fine on Saturday, I woke up Sunday morning and could barely get in the shower, after...
Read MoreWe are as babes in the womb
We as humans are very quick to judge. I find it interesting how quick we are to write off anything we can’t understand. We cannot explain God so He must not exist. We also are quick to judge the actions of God. It is not uncommon at all to find someone asking God why He did something a certain way. Why did he decide before Jacob and Esau were born that he would love Jacob and hate...
Read MoreI can blog from my iPhone!
I just made my iphone that much more valuable to me! I can now blog from anywhere. Look out world!
Read MoreOh! Canada! The Calgary Edition
Here I am again, this time in Calgary. I have a feeling I will be back again sometime soon as I will be needing to learn some new aspects of my job from some people up here. This is not altogether a bad thing as I actually enjoy it up here. Sure it is cold, I miss my wife, and it is definately not Texas, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t beautiful. I find the cold weather refreshing,...
Read MoreEscape Artists
This is something that I have, just recently, begun to think about extensively. As frustrated with our current political system as I am, I have started wondering what one person (me) can do to change things or at least to help. I took a couple steps back from my life and really tried to see who I am and what I might offer to encourage change in our nation. I have begun writing several essays for...
