What I’ve learned so far
This has happened to me before. Just when I think I’ve journeyed along to a point where I understand Jesus, I find out there is more. When I think I’ve seen real change, I find out there is more. When I finally think I know and understand the gospel, there is more. Last […]
Some of you may have received an old photo or two from me via email in the past couple of weeks. If you haven’t, yet, don’t despair. It could mean that I tried but your email provider stripped them because they were too big or too embarrassing, or it could mean […]
I once read a theory that somewhere in the world there is a person exactly like me. Not only that, but there is a person exactly like each one of us: we all have an exact match somewhere in the world. It is one of those theories that are fun to talk about but impossible […]
Last Saturday afternoon, my nephew Kevin took me to see the new Pixar movie, WALL-E. In case you don’t have a five-year-old living with you and you haven’t heard about the movie, it’s the story of a small robot left alone on earth to clean up the mess escaping humans left behind. The robot, WALL-E, […]
When Kevin heard that Monday would be my birthday, and he said, “I hope there will be cake.”
Kevin is our 5-year-old nephew who’s been living with us for the past few months. I suspect some of our lifestyle choices have been confusing to young Kevin.
For example, the fact that he used the phrase “I hope” […]
I often wonder why the music of our teenaged and young-adult years sticks with us for the rest of our lives. Nothing newer is ever as satisfying. Maybe it’s because we first heard the music when we were full of searching, and the first sounds we heard imprinted on our souls like a mother duck […]
“Why do you need to read another book?” was the question someone posed to my friend, John. The expected answer was, “I read a book to learn something,” to which the response would be, “Don’t you know enough already?” And like that.
Well, since John told me about that conversation, I’ve spent a lot of time […]
I recently went to see the folks at Seton Medical Outpatient Rehabilitation Center about my gimpy knee. It all started when Cyndi and I were at the Austin Marathon Expo last February and she made me listen to a presentation from the Seton sports medicine team. They described how they used video gait […]
Once I’d finally hiked down the Permian Reef Trail to the McKittrick Canyon Visitors Center, I weighed my “down” pack at 45 lbs. I then drove to the Guadalupe Park Headquarters to buy two cold Diet Cokes. It was about 1:00 PM on Saturday, and it was good to be off my […]
One of the cohabitants of our home is a golden Labrador Retriever named Lady. She joined our family in the spring of 1998; we think she was about six years old at the time.
At the time, I was actually on the lookout for a big black Lab who could run with Cyndi and Katie. My […]
