Well – it’s about that time. Yesterday I had my first ever PreOp visit to a hospital so they could fill out paper work, go over insurance, and tell me what to expect during tomorrow’s surgery. My biggest surprise was how long it took. I nearly fell asleep at one point in the lobby waiting… Read More »
Candy
Whoppers. Butterfinger. Baby Ruth. Those are some of the candies Monieca purchased for tonight’s Trunk or Treat @ the church. We’ll be there like we are every year, ready to meet hundreds of kids and their parents as we give out candy. It’s a blast and I really look forward to it. But that candy… Read More »
The Beatles and Forgiveness
For years former Beatle Paul McCartney has held a grudge against the John Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono. In fact he was bitter. The reasons were many. In a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he indicated the walls separating them have now been torn down. He said the key to their reconciliation was “time, the… Read More »
What Makes You Happy?
What makes you happy? I asked our youth pastor, David Mitchell, to post that question to our students on face book. Their answers ranged from “good grades” to “money” – sounds similar to what a lot of adults would say. One answer that caught my attention was “no stress.” So I asked David to post… Read More »
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
During a quick trip to Kentucky last week for Jacqueline and Liam to visit with family one last time before they return to Italy this month, I stopped at a Dollar store to pick up something. Inside I was surprised by the amount of Christmas decorations already on the shelves for sale (pictures below). It… Read More »
A Special Moment – A Special Relationship
While watching the “Space Buddies” movie (picture below) the other night – Oh, you haven’t seen it. Well, it’s about these rambunctious pups who’ve stared in a few movies. They talk to each other and get into all kinds of trouble. In this movie they “accidentally” end up on a space shuttle and take a… Read More »
A Teacher and A Book
“This is a good book. I think you’ll like it.” Ms. Lewis then gave me a paperback copy of “The Cross and The Switchblade” which tells the true story of country preacher, Bruce Wilkerson, who answers God’s call to work with youth struggling with gangs and drugs in the slums of NY City. I was… Read More »
Ice Cream and Alcohol
We were sitting at a table on the sidewalk in North Myrtle Beach eating ice cream when a man at the table next to us noticed my UK shirt and asked me about it. He was an African-American about my age on vacation with his family from Columbus, Ohio and was a “Buckeye” fan. My… Read More »
Life Goes On
Seven kids ages 3 to 9 were having fun playing with bicycles, big wheels, toy guns, a sand box, a basketball and goal, and their imaginations in the cul-de-sac and front yard facing Jenetta’s house. They laughed, shouted, argued, fell, got up, ran, sat down, rode, shot, and made any number of happy noises as… Read More »
New Clothes Are Not Free
I’ve spent more money on new clothes the past two months than any time I can remember. While getting new stuff is fun, its impact on cash flow is less enjoyable. I’ve looked hard for good deals and gotten a lot of stuff at really good prices. I can bargain hunt with the best “ladies”… Read More »
