Knock on the Door
May 9, 2011
Knock on the door, and keep knocking. Sometimes the answer is closer than we think. Don’t give up. Keep asking. Ask different people. Ask the same person repeatedly. Just keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep looking for new ways to do things. Keep seeking new ideas. Keep seeking new ways to do old things, and old … More Knock on the Door
My First Memory
May 3, 2011
We had just moved into our new house in August of 1964, and I was 4 years old. The electrical outlets did not have covers yet. I was alone in my room, and for some reason decided that it was a good idea to stick a fork into the outlet. The pain of the electrical … More My First Memory
God Made Dandelions, Man Made Weed-ex…who do you trust?
April 26, 2011
photo by Uwe Hermann http://www.hermann-uwe.de/photoblog/dandelion-2 Dandelions. We try desperately to get them out of our lawns because they don’t “look” good. By whose standards? Are they really just annoying weeds? Scientifically, they are beautiful. They contain Vitamins A, B complex, C, D, zinc, and potassium. Traditionally, dandelion roots and leaves were used to treat liver … More God Made Dandelions, Man Made Weed-ex…who do you trust?

Another day, another diet. I’ve lost probably hundreds of pounds in my life. And gained it all back. I know, Boo Hoo. I know I’m not the only one. My two biggest issues are 1) eating after supper ! That is not, not, not something I should do and 2) I get soooo depressed … More Yes, Weight Watchers, It’s Me Again
Friends, and Jealousy
April 19, 2011
A New Friend We lived out in the “country” or the “sticks” as it’s sometimes called, during the 1970’s. There were only 2 boys in the neighborhood that my brother, sister, and I hung out with. While riding our bikes near a construction site up the hill, we watched as new houses were being built. … More Friends, and Jealousy
What is a Modern Day Good Samaritan?
April 17, 2011
Let us never be in such a hurry to go to the mall, run errands, or BE ON TIME FOR CHURCH (!) that we don’t stop to see the person who needs help along side the road. Every so often, we need to be late to church to stop and help someone, whether it’s a … More What is a Modern Day Good Samaritan?

April 15, 2011
Is this the Real Life? (part 2) Is this just fantasy? What if this is really all there is? What would be the point? If there is an afterlife, don’t you think you should prepare for it? Forever is a long time. Forever is a really long time to spend in the wrong place. Romans … More Is this the real life? part 2
Remember Mrs. White? (part 2)
April 6, 2011
Mrs. White, our fifth grade teacher, ran a tight ship. She seemed as old as the hills, so it’s a good guess that she lived through the Great Depression. Long before it was “fashionable” to “save trees”, Mrs. White made sure that paper was used on both sides before it was thrown out. Math homework … More Remember Mrs. White? (part 2)

<– Asian Maple Tree in Autumn. As I approached the Chinese Food booth at the mall food court, a small Asian woman popped towards me with a juicy piece of chicken on a toothpick. “Free Sampo,” she said in broken English. My son and I eached grabbed a toothpick, and tasted the surprise treat on a stick. … More Free Sample
