Today, Nate spent the day with me. A friend of Jenni\’s family was killed last night right in front of her boyfriend. It\’s been a sad, shock-filled day for them. I brought Nate home with me so we could clean out the pool and run the filter for a while, but it rained pretty hard,…

and it\’s going to be a beautiful day. Part of my problem, I admit, is that I haven\’t been as faithful in my Bible study lately, and that made such a difference in my outlook on life. I truly do need to study the Word daily in order to keep my life in balance/perspective. It\’s…

So, last Wednesday night was my last night as the youth director at our church. I had been at it for five years, and at my age, five years represents quite a change in the physical aspects of keeping up with a bunch of teens. I\’ve been to camp with them four times; jumped up…

Getting ready to begin a new personal study entitled Epic, by John Eldredge. Stay tuned in. I get all excited when the Holy Spirit teaches me stuff and I love to share! And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Well, VBS went well, but we didn\’t have any major decisions made during that week. Of course, who knows what seeds were planted in those precious little minds. Time and eternity will tell, as they say. By the way, who is \”they\” anyhow? Does anybody really know? And why do \”they\” get all the credit…

After several sleepless hours last night, I got up and went to the church to decorate for VBS.

Number one grandson, Nate, is spending a few days with his uncle Josh. I\’m sure they will have a lot of fun. I remember when Nate was born and Josh was coming to see him. He had said he\’d be home in the morning. When i got up around 6:30 to help Jenni with Nate,…

i\’m not sure why, but i feel a bit depressed tonight. maybe i\’m just tired. nothing happened today to cause me to feel this way. in fact, the evening service was wonderful and worshipful. the teens did an excellent job of their number tonight. they performed under blacklight to Arise My Love. i tell you…

After making sure that our grandson was safely tucked in his bed on Thursday (after his tonsillectomy), Dave and I headed off to Tennessee to the wedding of our niece, Holly. We traveled halfway and stopped outside of Knoxville for the night. aside:At the Holiday Inn Express, we slept on one of the most comfortable…
