Childhood friends, High school friends, Adult friends – Eternal Friend
Steve on the right, and me on the left around 1976.
I’ve had many friends over the years. I remember the neighborhood kids Lil’ Pat, Johnny, Stevie, and Rusty. When I entered first grade and there were even more kids.
My best friend in 1st grade was Jack. I don’t remember his last name at all – just Jack. Continue reading
The Right Words at the Right Time
In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. Ps 20:1
God’s timing is impeccable!
Yesterday evening suddenly became a little nerve wracking. A couple of phone calls and some texting had me a little on edge about what was going to happen in the near future. Continue reading
See and hear what God has to say!
Linda and I have just returned from a pastor appreciation weekend getaway with our friends Steve and Kathy.

Last time I left you in some suspense with something that surprised me.
It was quite a shock the other night when I met an old phone man I used to work with.
We talked a bit about the ol’ gang and then he said something about a phoneman being killed just a week or two ago.
He couldn’t remember the man’s name but then he didn’t recognize me either.
But he said he was married to T. A’s daughter.
It hit me like a ton of bricks. Continue reading

Let me catch you up on the border collies, the girls, as I call them.
Lola and Zoe continue to grow by leaps and bounds. They are very intelligent and mischievous, a dangerous combination.
They come running to me when I whistle for them. Continue reading

What am I doing up at this hour?
I’ve been awake since 1:30am and finally went ahead and got out of bed.
I’m troubled.
I’ve been thinking and praying over the lives of some of my friends in church.
I don’t know what to do about them, except pray. Continue reading
Spilling The Beans
Today I went out to eat with Al & Michelle and Sherman & Nila.
While eating (which involves me not talking) I listened to the rest of them talk and I was glad Linda wasn’t there (for the sake of the rest of this blog).
I was privy to hear about how much “he eats”, she buys “these kind of shoes”, he “eats ice cream every night”, and what “she can’t resist”.
I learned more information than I needed to know as each husband talked about her and each wife talked about him.
I almost felt like I needed Level 5 CIA clearance.
Yet, though I enjoy her company, I was glad Linda wasn’t there to spill the beans on me or tell the others how often I spill beans on myself.
