I just watched Saving Pvt. Ryan – again! I cried – again! The sacrifice made by the WWII generation is something those of us who reap the benefit of freedom today will never be able to comprehend. I’m thankful to those who served then… I’m thankful for those who serve now! There have been so many lives given [...]

Here we are September 1, 2008. A year ago, going into Labor Day weekend, I had determined after work I would go home and lay on the sofa all weekend and watch NASCAR and football. I recall having that weekend to myself and desiring to do nothing! I received a phone call from a friend [...]
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 [...]
I don’t know why… but it happened today. Another glimpse into God. I was at my early morning Wednesday group down at the Bridges Agency. (Sorry guys I was a little late!!) I just barely beat Tim getting there by about 2 minutes. It’s typically not that difficult to beat Tim – I was almost [...]
Today has been a tough day for many I work with. Gerry died unexpectedly Sunday night. He will be missed by all. As I have gone through the morning, I have listened to people remark about Gerry and the shock. It’s interesting to me in almost every conversation people mentioned the last time they talked [...]

As a new Christian, I leaned a lot on my friends to show me how to live. My friends back then are still my friends today. It’s amazing that I am once again living in the community I grew up in - hanging with the same guys (And now their families). We were all together this past [...]
Saturday morning! It’s finally here. I had hoped to do some things in the yard today but it rained last night and the Weather Channel says it’s going to be a little cooler this weekend. 40% chance of rain today. So, it looks like my plans are changing. I guess I could sit around and [...]
On March the 20th, I wrote “Walking by Faith“: At this time in my life, I’m not sure where I am heading… but I do know I am heading in the right direction. God has restored a lot in my life. The stirring in my soul is difficult… yet I know it isn’t being stirred [...]
I apologize to those of you who experienced “night terrors” due to my eyes following you around your living rooms as you tried to read my blog. There is only one who actually told me that they experienced “night terrors”. I will not mention his name or anything. But I will say that he plays [...]
