This morning on the way to the study, I drove through fog. That is somewhat of an understatement. Had I a net, I might have caught a few fish swimming across the highway. The fog was thick when I pulled out of the subdivision onto the highway, I could not see very far. The first … Continue reading Clarity

Ultimately
New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes recently made headlines during spring training not for his training. Not for anything on field, outfield, infield, but something off field. Maybe better put as on the way to and from field. The headlines revealed that he drove a different car to the field each day, including a $65,000 tricycle. Contrast that … Continue reading Ultimately

Reflections
Today many Christians in the world look back to the events of the last few hours of Jesus' life on earth. Today many will think about the trumped up charges and illegal trial he faced. Today many will remember with sorrow that they like Peter sometimes deny the Christ. Today many will shed tears as … Continue reading Reflections
Keep Running
No I am not talking about political candidates who are "still in the race" or even those that are leading the polls and delegate counts.
