We don’t drink…not even a little bit!

Is it so hard to believe?
I took Linda to the ER Monday morning with dizziness, nausea, back ache, and chest pains.
The on-call doctor asked a bunch of questions like “how much do you weigh?” Linda answered honestly and, yes, we are both over-weight. Continue reading →

Exhibit Good Christian Behavior

I’ve thought about this for over a week.

One afternoon there was a show on the cruise loosely based on the Newlywed Game. But instead of just newlyweds, any age couple could be used, chosen from the audience. Continue reading →

2) What was the first living creature ever ejected from a supersonic aircraft?

Cruise Observation

Last week, at this time, I was on a cruise. At this time of day (when I’m writing this morning) I had already gone up on deck to see what kind of day it was going to be and see if it was clear enough for a beautiful sunrise.

The Bucket List

Bucket list: a list of things to do before you die, that is, kick the bucket.

Linda has one item on her bucket list – to swim with dolphins. She has wanted to that since she was a little girl, as far back as she can remember.
She will get to cross it off this Saturday! Continue reading →

The strength to not fall away

First, let me assure you that I am not perfected but I press on. Let me also assure you that I do not go looking for ways to sin against God but feel I have more strength through Christ to avoid it. We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them. 1 John 5:18 Continue reading →
