Last night Amy and I had a great night out. Sometime in February I purchased concert tickets. After a year of snow, tornadoes, and Amy moving to a new school building this week, we needed a night out. After a dinner at Olive Garden, a walk around a store or two, we made our way … Continue reading Shower the People

What Is Your First Thought?
Take a look at the picture below and give me your first thoughts. My initial reaction was how Satan tries to dress sin up as something beautiful, yet when we fall for his deception we find that enslavement to sin really stinks. For the record. I took this picture of the septic service that came … Continue reading What Is Your First Thought?

Amy's birthday is May 12 (that's today) so being a … Continue reading Phobias and Good People

An Effort at Recovery
I certainly have no reason to complain about the recent storms in our area and state. My house, family, and immediate church family escaped relatively unscathed. This is not everyone's case. I have at least two friends in the county who lost their entire home. Over the last 12 days I had the privileged of … Continue reading An Effort at Recovery
What is Christianity

I am certain these would be among the answers: Christianity is one of many philosophies of life. Christianity is one way some choose to understand existence. … Continue reading What is Christianity
