Door Dash To The Rescue

Yesterday was a painful day for me. I was taking out the trash and the recycling. And I was going outside to see the condition of my driveway in case we had to go to work. Now my trash cans are located to the side, just outside my attached garage door. Usually, it is not a dangerous chore. I had no... Sign in to see full entry.

We All Have To Face the Weather

Modern society is truly blessed. When you think about the caveman and the indians. Survival out in the open was quite a challenge. Not only did they deal with wild animals and disease. They faced another obstacle every day: the weather. No weather reports from the local news. Only the traditions and... Sign in to see full entry.

I love movies about survival and overcoming the odds. These kinds of movies motivate us to deal with our lives. No matter what you are going through.

The Boxing Match We call Life

I was listening to a news story on the radio. The story was about how Mike Tyson's loss to Buster Douglas affected his life. He was asked if that was his worst defeat. Tyson said no. He had many other losses that were harder defeats. He said because he was knocked out. Lying down in the ring, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Civil Rights For All

It is amazing how much God blesses us through others. And as usual, the unselfish accomplishments of others tend to bless more people than we think. Today, we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr. His Civil Rights movement continues to help more than just Black people. It has established a... Sign in to see full entry.

All Signs Tell A Story

I was driving the other day. Enjoying the beauty of the sun and the clouds. Then inspiration hit me right between the eyes. Travel and direction are used so often in illustrating Life. So many parallel travel terms. When you think about it. I wouldn't be surprised if we all unconsciously use a... Sign in to see full entry.

Once Upon A Time

I remember listening to stories as a child. They all seemed to start with that familiar phrase, "Once upon a time." My father would often share stories about his life. As he got older, the stories were repeated over and over again. When my father died. Many of my family members shared that they... Sign in to see full entry.
