Random Thought of the Day

I really hate congestion and coughing.  Hoping to get into the docs to see if this is a sinus infection, bronchitis, or an annoying spring cold.  One way or another, it’s a osikla day. On the bright side, we stopped by the house last night and the drywall is up.  Hopefully they will be putting Read More…

Great morning memories

Yesterday’s quote of the day: Adult: Spell TV 5 year old: You’ve got me stumped.   So, this morning I had to wash dishes.  This isn’t anything new, especially for a Saturday morning.  But for some reason this morning, I had a very vivid memory of the day I realized that I wanted to marry Read More…

Patience…or the busy-ness of life

I was recently frustrated (when are we not?) with something I know a lot of people have talked about repeatedly over the past decades.  I was driving somewhere doing the speed limit like I normally do.  I got passed by someone (as is usual since I’m obeying the speed limit), but it was the speed Read More…

Been awhile

Okay, so apparently it’s been awhile since I have gotten around to actually writing something on the blog. Truth is, I’ve had a lot of things I’ve wanted to say on my mind (mostly on social and political issues that are happening now), but I’ve opted to NOT say some of these things. Why?  Am Read More…

A personal note

I’d like to wish all my friends, family, and loved ones a very Happy New Year.  I pray that it is full of God’s blessings on each and every one of you.

Happy Birthday, I miss you

Happy Birthday, dad.  I just wanted to let you know that I miss you so much.  You’ve been at home with mom and the Lord for a few years, but it seems like forever.  You’re still close to my heart, as is mom. 

So conflicted

Yet once again I feel the terrible conflict of painful sorrow combined with overwhelming joy.  Why are we such creatures of duality?  I want to grieve at the loss of some wonderful people, and the pain I feel at their loss is nearly overwhelming. Yet I know that I should rejoice greatly because their pain Read More…

Birthday celebrations

I got the chance to celebrate the wife’s birthday a few days early. Her family’s history is that they don’t celebrate a birthday on a single day. No, they do it for an entire week. Gotta love that tradition. So we started Danielle’s birthday week yesterday with a quick trip out of town and away Read More…

Fighting back….

Amazing on how quickly an emotional state can do a complete one eighty.  Today’s been a good day.  I’ve been productive with work assignments, managed to sneak a quick surprise visit in to see my wife while she was/is at work, got to travel out of town for a little bit and had a fun Read More…

An interesting weekend

Danielle and I recently had an interesting weekend, getting to play parents and see what having kids would be like. Don’t go freaking out, we didn’t kidnap or steal anyone’s children.  We just babysat a 5 year old and 1 year old for our Middle School pastor and his wife while they were on a Read More…
