My wife had this on her blogspot.. so I figured, why not. It's been awhile since I put anything up anyway.*Pick your birth month.* Strike out anything that doesn’t apply to you.* Bold the five-ten that best apply to you.* Copy to your own journal, with all twelve months.My Birth Month is AUGUST:AUGUST:Loves to joke. Attractive. Suave and caring. Brave and fearless. Firm and has leadership

Josephina Flynn, the mysterious mercenary, returns to her father's grave to pay tribute. This has grown to be one of my favorite characters.

"Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name," but let's face it... sometimes you want to go where no one knows your name also. Still, there are other times when you just want to get away from EVERYONE, whether they know your name or not.Is that such a bad thing??I think not.Sometimes we need to get away from all the "stuff" that gets us down. We need a retreat.A retreat from what?A

My lovely wife recently posted a blog on her site about not updating enough... well, if she hasn't, then LORD knows, I haven't. It's been months!!So, what to say?Nothing in particular comes to mind, although I am certain that many things have transpired since last I wrote.I am getting back into doing artwork. It's been great to get back into it. Hopefully, I'll be able to post some on my

What good is a dull blade? It is less useful and actually more dangerous to the one wielding it. We were taught when I was in the restaurant business to keep all of our knives sharp. Not only did it make the job easier, it was for our protection. With a dull blade, more force is applied in order to use it. With the additional force, more serious injury can occur.This is not to say that sharp

The only difference between a stepping stone and a stumbling block is how you use it.So many times we view temptations and trials as obstacles that lay in our way. Sometimes we even blame God for allowing these things to happen. I’m guilty of this myself. Perhaps we are just seeing these stepping stones as stumbling blocks.God wants us to grow. He wants us to produce what the Bible refers to

Basic GeometryRectangles, triangles, and squares.. oh, my!!There are so many shapes in this world. And yet, we find ourselves trying to fit square pegs into round holes. We are all shaped differently. No, I’m not talking about the short and stout tea pot or the tall and thin beanpole. I’m referring to our personalities, our talents, and our skills. God has made us each unique. Like a

Last week, I busied myself preparing a room that we will be using as a chapel. It had two large windows that were boarded up and blocked from the outside. We decided to paint them as if they were stained glass windows. I think it turned out nicely, but not as well as I had hoped for. Still, I have received many complements from it. I don’t mean to toot my own horn. The painting of the

"Marwage.. Marwage is wha bwings us here... and wove, twue wove.." so the bishop from the Princess Bride states during the marriage ceremony (that never happened) between Buttercup and Prince Humperdink. At least he had the right idea. In the movie SpaceBalls, we see the hurried wedding ceremony...Priest: "Do you?"Groom: "Yes"Priest: "Do you?"Bride: "Yes"Priest: "Good your married!"But how far

I have a friend who always says, "Three feet to the left," if there is something unexplainable or something we can't seem to find. Why? Because, when you move three feet to the left, you see things from a different perspective. Why three feet? And why to the left and not right? Well, I don't know. The point is that sometimes we need a new perspective.How often do we fall into the habit of

There's a popular praise and worship song in contemporary protestant services that states, "Here I am to worship/ Here I am to bow down/ Here I am to say that you're my God."How true this is!I have just finished going through a 7 week study on the first part of Rick Warren's best-selling The Purpose Driven Life. The overall point is that we were not created by God for ourselves, but instead to

Some famous old dude.. Confussion, i mean Confucius or Aristotle.. once said, "Enjoy your job and you will never have to work a day in your life." Actually.. he probably didn't say that. I highly doubt he spoke English. Since I don't speak his language.. and I don't know if you do either.. we'll just imagine that he did say this.The point.. if there ever is a point to half the things I say..

Do you remember The Peanuts cartoons by the late Charles Scholtz? Do you remember the character Linus with his infamous blue blanket and innocent wisdom? Do you remember the wall on which he and good ol' Charlie Brown would discuss life, the Great Pumpkin, and the little red headed girl?In that light, call me "Linus".
