I’ve been asked to be a mentor at the church camp. I’m guessing what qualifies me for that is that I’m an older guy with experiences in life (both good and bad). So they match me with this younger guy from Arkansas. Hey, at least we can understand each other being from the South and […]

Do you ever feel like your life is going in reverse, but you have the “Ahah!” moment and realize you are actually moving forward? Well let this story of the ant going in reverse to move forward sink in to your heart and soul. I’m taking a break from chainsaw work at the church camp,

Meet the Maintenance crew at the church camp this summer. One’s a marine, one’s a geologist, one’s a draftsman in architecture, and the other is in wildlife ecology. The old guy,……..well that’s me. I had the privilege of BEING and working with these guys for part of this summer. I’ve come away with a better

But I’ve always enjoyed watching horses talk to each other, and talk with me as well. You didn’t know horses could

We have to stand up and fight this battle………. And yet, here we Christians are,…….. fighting each other. Fighting to show each

This blackbird (aka- grackle) catches my eye. He’s sitting next to the gas pump as if he owns the place. As soon as my truck stops, he does his little parade walk over to the front of my truck. I immediately begin a conversation with him. “Little birdy, what are you doing walkin’ around my
Every year this family decorates their entire yard with Christmas lights. Every year lots and lots of people drive by to see their lights. So many cars, that now the community where they live have the police directing traffic and the neighborhood streets turned into one way traffic lanes. (I’ve always wondered if there were
