When I first read about Michael Moore’s comment about Hurricane Gustav, the Republican National Convention, and proof of there being a God – I thought about how does anyone respond to his comments.  The purpose of my my blog has not ever really been to get involved in politics… although as an individual I am very interested [...]

Lori is having so much fun with me as I lay around the house today.  I couldn’t have chosen a better time in history to have surgery.  The news has been fantastic to watch.  All the Breaking News over the election has been incredible. The kick off to the College Football season today has been an added bonus.  [...]

…at the right time! If Barack Obama had picked Hillary Clinton would John McCain have picked Sarah Palin?  You know it will be debated. Clearly, either way Palin is the right person in the right place at the right time.  I don’t know the answer… but I can say I’m just one American very excited [...]

All of the speculation is over.  The sides have been chosen…                                                     The Republican’s John McCain and Sarah Palin The Democrat’s Barack Obama and Joe Biden For just over the next two months we will be bombarded with ads and headlines that shout loud the up and coming election on November 4.  So make your choice: [...]

Speculation

Posted: August 29, 2008 in Politics

It’s interesting to all of us (at least to those of us who care) at who the Presidential Candidates will select as their Vice President. This morning the Drudge Report and Fox News are speculating Sarah Palin may be John McCain’s running mate. If this is true this is a great move in selecting Palin.  Fox News is [...]

I had surgery today… I had a couple of lipoma’s removed.  One on my arm and the other on my back near my spine.  Tonight I am a bit uncomfortable in my back and finding it difficult to get into a comfortable position.  I’m not helping matters as I listen to Barack Obama on the TV.  [...]

Do you have a habit of looking into the face of Jesus everyday?  Do you spend time with him in your secret place?  I was reminded this week of a very challenging time in my life that reaped a lot of spiritual growth.  It was during this time I had been challenged to pray… to [...]

I wonder how many hours of prayer has been spent wasted because my heart was not right.  But I argue what I am praying for is good… great… with great purpose for God and others. But silence is all that is heard.  In my mind, God is witholding the answer(s) or perceived blessing(s).  All the while, I am ignoring this [...]

My prayer life with God has been on the forefront of my mind.  Several things have brought me to this place.  Conversation with friends, reading, and circumstances.  Out of all these things has come Whispering Secrets, Just how important is it? and now “…willful, deliberate prayer.” Life is full of so many surprises.  I wonder how many of [...]

“It’s crooked!”

We had a ceiling fan that was not working.  So back in April, we purchased another one to replace it.  Lori wanted the new one in the living room and the one in the living room moved to the den.  Nothing is ever easy!  So, I did as I was commanded… I mean lovingly asked to do… yes, [...]
