Following God will always be one of the greatest acts any person could ever do. Too often when one tries to follow God in obedience others ridicule and tear down… judge whether this or that is a “wise” thing or not. The sad part is that more often than not it comes from “brothers and/ [...]

Perspective from the porch

Posted: June 29, 2008 in Perspective

The view from the porch today has been great!  I was greeted this morning by one of the deer that I like to watch.  It’s been very relaxing… …and frustrating time this morning.  Frustrating as I have looked back over this past week.  I’m very tired.  In need of some good quiet time. I’m at a [...]

Newt Gingrich has a web site called American Solutions.  I encourage you to go there read the information and sign the petition if you want our country to be energy independent.  Drill here.  Drill now.  Pay Less.  Sign the petition!  A real change campaign to lower your gas prices. According the web site 81% of [...]

The Army Chaplain Corp post has got me thinking about a question I haven’t heard in a while. I worked at a church one time – When someone in our church decided they wanted to get involved and volunteer but were unsure as to where – one of the guys on staff would ask “If [...]

Army Chaplain Corp

Posted: June 24, 2008 in Friends, Prayer

I know I have mentioned this before in military, prayer, chaplaincy… I would love to have been a Chaplain in the U.S. Army Chaplain Corp.  I still think about it… dream about it… and pray about it.  I still have time since the age limit has been moved to 47.  I can’t tell you how [...]

What is your life worth?

Posted: June 23, 2008 in Random Thoughts

So, what is your life worth?  If you were to auction off your life, how much do you think you would get? I don’t think I would get much money for mine… and that’s being optimistic.  But in the eyes of God – it’s worth a whole lot more than that.  The cost was His [...]

I haven’t been sleeping too good lately.  I don’t have problems getting to sleep.  But at the strike of 3AM I wake up.  So what do I do at 3 AM?  I walk around a bit… typically eating something.  Last night I watched FOX News as I ate raw chocolate chip cookie dough with a cold glass [...]

Perspective from the porch

Posted: June 21, 2008 in Perspective

I enjoy my time I spend on Saturday mornings so much.  It’s been a great morning on the front porch.  I have seen my friendly little rabbit and a truck load of squirrel’s!  No deer today – how sad!  I have a squirrel fussing at me right now… it’s starting to get on my nerves… [...]

Down on the farm

Posted: June 20, 2008 in Random Thoughts

On several occasions I have alluded to where I live as the “Bishop Compound”.  If you are wondering what these cows are looking at… they are watching me work in the yard.  I guess they find me amusing. Living out here in the “country” has a lot that is extremely appealing.  It’s finally Friday and I [...]
