Have you ever had one of those days or weeks? The kind where you feel like the fish whose bowl caught on fire and you escaped the fire, only to realize that a fish outside the bowl is pretty much equally screwed. Well I’m having one of those…
They are spraying insulation foam in our building [...]

Beauty
Posted in Life, Spiritual on August 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever thought about the beauty that is all around us? As David Crowder says “my eyes are small but they have seen the beauty of enormous things.” Stop and think about what you witness every day. The beauties of a sunrise or a sunset are amazing things that God has blessed us with. [...]
Scenes from a Road Trip
Posted in Just for Fun on August 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I went on a spur of the moment road trip with some friends the other night to Inverness. I love to go on road trips. I always have a good time, especially when I’m with friends. Going down the two lane roads always reminds me of when I was little traveling with my mom and [...]
Olympic Recap – Week 1
Posted in Just for Fun on August 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Here is my look back at the first 7 days of the Olympics (opening through Thursday). These are my observations on what I have seen so far:
- Opening ceremonies – WOW! Unbelievable show. Of course there is some “controversy” about a few things. The footprint fireworks were digital and not real, but when I was [...]
Time Capsule

Remember in High School when they made up those time capsules so that years later someone would dig them up and know exactly what life was like back in “the day”. Or have you ever heard that Jim Croce song “Time in a Bottle?” If we were making a time capsule or could save time [...]
A Stressful Experience
Posted in Just for Fun on August 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Have you ever had your hearing checked? Well last year I did and for me this was a very stressful experience. In the first place, I had not gone to the ENT for my hearing, it was because I was having horrible dizzy spells, which turned out to be a form of vertigo. But, as [...]
Why?

If you are like me, you probably ask this question a lot. Many times even to God. Questions like: “God, why did this happen to me?”; “God, why do I have to go through this?” or “God, why won’t this stop?” Maybe your questions are on behalf of a friend or loved one. “God, why [...]
What’s in a name

Have you heard the story about the New Zealand girl who wanted to change her name? The court actually ruled that her given name constituted child abuse and made her a ward of the court. Her given name – Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii. Honest that was her name. Can you imagine parents naming [...]
It’s Here

The countdown is at zero. The Olympics begin tonight with the opening ceremonies. All the pageantry and all the flash in a show that seems to go on for 15 hours. I think it is neat to watch the opening ceremonies when the Olympics are held in a foreign country. There are so many strange [...]
Glorious

I was listening to the song “Everything Glorious” by the David Crowder Band and It reminded me of something I heard a few months ago. It’s something that really picked me up then and every time I think of it since. I thought I would share it with you; maybe it will give you a [...]
Old

Ever had one of those days when you just feel old? Lately, I’ve had several of them. It’s the little things mostly. Mentioning a TV show at lunch that no-one I work with has ever heard of – young pups! Seeing someone in the store and their kids are all grown up and the last [...]
Turning Back
Posted in Life, Spiritual on August 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Have you ever seen a squirrel start across the street get more than halfway across, then as a car approaches him, he turns and runs back to the other side – the side he just came from? Why do they do that? He was almost across, almost safe. He has returned to what he perceives [...]
