Wheel Shaped

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Mouse Compassion

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

My 10 year old was intrigued to hear that the office I work at has a problem with mice. She asked, “Are they white mice?” When I told they were brown mice and that the ladies in my office were very unhappy about them she asked “why would they hate wild mice?”
I explained […]

Small Regrets…

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Tonight, as I watch different YouTube clips of “Saving Private Ryan” for the Umpteenth time it dawned me that I really regret not speaking with my great uncle about his service in WWII…
Seriously, there’s a small regret in my heart… I’m wish I could’ve connected with him more and learned about his youth.

Somebody talk to that kid.

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Recently, my brother joined his 7 yr old son on field trip with some other parents/children to a farm. They were all looking at a cow when the farmer began describing (paraphrase): “This cow is an dairy cow. She gets milked twice per day. She has 4 stomachs. She […]

Dinosaur King

Last Saturday my oldest daughter was watching her favorite cartoon - Dinosaur King. She doesn’t watch a lot of TV on Sat mornings, but this is the one show that she hates to miss. She’s been a fan of it for over a year. Anyway, I was in the another room when […]

I Hope God Was As Amused As We Were.

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Our oldest daughter’s recent baptism went well! We’re certainly praising God that she’s accepted Jesus as her Savior.
Of course, she added a flair that only Madeline could. First she “crossed” herself when the pastor mentioned the “Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.” “Crossed” as in the sign of the cross like Catholics […]

The Logic Of A 4 Year Old…

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Recently our youngest daughter was struggling with allergies that were possibly morphing into a cold. Our concern was that her asthma would kick up again. So, we took her for another of her multiple Dr visits that week.
This time she was prescribed a steroid to aid her breathing. Home from […]

Right To Life

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

I recently overheard a debate featuring former Saturday Night Live writer, Al Franken waxing smuggly about how the US Constitution says nothing about abortion. Al seemed to indicate since the word “Abortion” is NOT mentioned in the Constitution all abortion should be legal.

Do you value life?

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Do you value all life? Somebody sent me an e-mail with this film clip. The note stated that this father’s love is like God’s love for us. I like that thought. Take 4.5 minutes and watch this (keep your tissues handy):
