It occurs to me that it’s been a while since I actually wrote about the current state of my health. With all the things going on with my immediate family (and today you can add the fact that my mother needs a pacemaker and will be staying with us as soon as the surgery is…
Requiem or Memorial?
Death is a time of consideration, of looking back on the past and looking forward to the future. In my case, the loss of my mother-in-law last Saturday (July 2nd) has become a reason to look back and forward at the same time. How did I want to remember her, and what method would be…
Spiritual Fireworks
As I faced summer vacation last week I had no idea that mine was going to begin with a proverbial bang. Yes, the 4th of July is right around the corner, but that didn’t prepare me for the ‘spiritual fireworks’ that awaited. My mother-in-law Judy’s condition (she has breast cancer), has steadily deteriorated, but we…
Summer Vacation
I officially finished my fourth quarter and final report for the 2010-2011 school year on Thursday, so Joelle and I are finally on summer vacation. She finished her last test Monday morning; my reports took a few days longer, but the end result is the same. We’re both looking forward to not having classes every…
What is wrong with our country?
Over the last two decades that I’ve paid attention I have heard many people describe what is wrong with our country. Some of them I agree with, others I don’t, but I believe all of them have missed the point. I believe all of them to one extent or another have described symptoms of our…
Time Flies
They say time flies when you’re having a good time, but that’s not entirely true: Time flies even if you’re not having a good time, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it! As you get older the rate of speed and the rate of enjoyment are not necessarily cojoined, and sometimes you merely…
My First Puppet Show!
On Thursday, June 16, 2011, I’m going to be in my first puppet show! Praise Puppets is doing our “Creation Investigation” show followed by several blacklight songs including “Until the Whole World Hears”, “Awesome God”, and “Come On In”! We will be doing it under a big tent on Thursday and in a church on…
The Week Away
Flying somewhere always seems to take longer than the trip home, and this time was no exception. The only real problem we’d had getting ready to go was that we couldn’t get seats together on the flight beforehand, which made things difficult; we did not want to be separated from Joelle or each other, but…
Texas – Take Two
Here we are, five days into our trip to Texas, and it’s three days from coming home before I’ve gotten the chance and energy to write. We’ve been up at six every day but Sunday and today, Thursday, and the time has gone by so fast I can hardly believe it’s almost over. My surgery…
Countdown
I woke up early this morning (Thursday) at 3:00 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep right away, so I decided to get up and write tonight because on Friday and Saturday AM, my usual times to blog, I not really going to want to get up. There’s only two mornings left until it’s time…
