Doctor let down

Well, it was supposed to be a nice, lazy, pleasant weekend away celebrating our 4th anniversary. Through no fault of hers, Danielle has ended up being sick and completely sidelined all weekend. And by that I mean terrible headaches, nausea, exhaustion, and zip appetite. For the record, the new medication is NOT a pleasant medication Read More…

Lord, help me get through today

Splitting headache, sore eyes, exhaustion despite a good breakfast and two cups of caf.  Lord, I really need some of your gracious healing today.  And knowing my wife was having a sore head before I left, please put a hand of mercy on her as well.  It’s gonna be a long day.

Who cares about idiots?

Two random thoughts today; 1) Read a headline asking “Was Whitney (Houston) a lesbian?”  this is the “Who cares” part of the title.  I mean honestly, who cares?  Does it have any impact on today’s life?  What does it matter?  I’m not trying to trivialize anything, but the very lovely and talented singer has been Read More…

Not martyrs

I’m hearing a lot of reporters today saying that the gunmen in Paris claimed they wanted to “die as martyrs”.  I’ve even heard at least one say that they got that wish. Jason Scott made a valid point.  They did NOT die as martyrs.  Here’s why I feel that. As Jason pointed out, if they Read More…

Quick rant

Quick rant before heading back to work.

Material things are not worth your life, and stealing doesn’t make you strong/manly/a boss, it makes you a Read More…

Random things I’m thankful for today

A garage to keep my car frost/snow free during cold winter months Good strong medicines to kick sinus infections out Being able to see a doctor on the day I call (sad that there are so many that have to wait) A wife with such a big heart for helping others in need

Today’s random thought

Admittedly, today has NOT been my best of days.  Why? 1) Headache 2) Computers that aren’t playing nicely. 3) A few other negative stressors at work today. 4) Someone on my FB feed linked to something that appeared on my wall.  I really didn’t need to see it, but now I can’t scrub the image Read More…

Random thoughts of the week

Today I get to help two of my best friends celebrate the newest chapter of their lives.  Congrats to Samantha Morris and Greg Eberhart as they get married this afternoon.  Thanks for being part of me and Danielle’s lives, and thanks for letting us be a part of your day today. Dear SyFy Channel, 1) Read More…

Random thoughts for today

1) When using a mandolin (not the musical instrument, the kitchen tool) to slice yellow squash, remember to keep your thumb away from the very sharp blade. 2) If you fail to heed random thought #1, apply firm pressure for a long time, and for goodness sake, turn off the grill and get the rest Read More…
