I copied this Facebook status from a friend I went to college with – “As it was in the days of Lot”… Signs of the “Falling Away” are everywhere. People are increasingly without natural affection, hurting each other, trampling the rights of others while chasing the almighty dollar. Continue reading

Remembering
My dad died almost a year ago. Yesterday I received the news that the only surviving sibling, my Uncle Fridolph, passed away.
He was one of nine children born to Charlie and Victoria Swanson.
I can’t help but be a little saddened as this side of the family has dwindled down to “us” cousins! Continue reading
Avoid a Fatal Accident
On the way home from our anniversary weekend, we were just south of Alto, Tx when I noticed the minivan that had been following me for the past 50 miles decided to speed pass me.
It wasn’t a big deal since we were on a 4-lane with a wide turning median. Continue reading
Birthday!
At last Job spoke, and he cursed the day of his birth. Job 3:1
That’s a pessimist; but I’m not in his situation, nor do I want to be.
I bless the day of my birth, which is today; well, at least the anniversary of it! Continue reading
False Teachers
I know that there are some pseudo-Christians around; a pseudo-Christian being a false Christian. The Bible even speaks about them in 2 Tim 3:5 saying they will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.
I often read about people quoting from “other” books of the Bible.
There are many “gospels” that you can read these days, Continue reading

The Cure for Sin
Friday evening, Linda and I participated in the Relay for Life. This is an all night event for cancer survivors and those currently fighting the disease.
Linda and I haven’t done an all-nighter and I doubted this would be the evening to break that trend. Continue reading
Put Away Childish Things
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1 Cor 13:11
I remember when I turned 12 years old, it was the day I was no longer a child.
I had a great collection of Hot Wheels cars, the track, super-boosters; the whole works. Continue reading
The Big One Got Away!
Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matt 4:19
One more thought on fishermen; did you know they have a tendency to exaggerate?
I know that guessing the size of the fish by how much it puts up a fight can be deceiving. I have thought I was pulling in whales when I pulled in a minnow. Continue reading
Use the Right Lure!
Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matt 4:19
There is some skill involved with fishing. Knowing how to cast, how to remove a hook, how to untangle a line, or just getting the fish in the boat.
Around where I live the most popular fishing is bass, crappie, and catfish. Continue reading
