Wash and Wear

  When I shop, I purposely do not choose items that require special handling. Many a beautiful garment has remained on the rack because it would require dry cleaning, handwashing, drip dry, low heat, no iron, and on and on. I know myself well enough to know that...
The Sweet Stench

The Sweet Stench

  Oh the sweet, sweet smell of . . . a football locker room! Wait, what? That’s right, I said it. That smell transports me back to my youth quicker than Doc Brown’s DeLorean Time Machine ever could. I can instantly hear the crack of the pads, see the dirt and the...

I recently saw a commercial for a long-time favorite of the Price family, The Biggest Loser. It is a reality tv show that was extremely popular about a decade ago and continues to run on the USA Network. For those who need a refresher, the show features obese or...

Then He Smiled At Me

All too often, this time of the year, many of us get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season and lose perspective on what’s really important. It’s one of the most overused clichés this time of year, but does anyone really pay attention to the...

Draglines In The Sand

  My normal Sunday morning routine, especially on mornings when I am preaching the message, is pretty predictable. I roll out of bed around 6:30 or so, start the coffee, hop in the shower, get dressed, and head out the door. Being that we live so close, I am...

Be Blessed In Your Mess

    Thank God for Moo-Moos Car Wash! (No, seriously) On a pretty regular basis my Tacoma calls out to me, beckoning me to swing by for its routine car-makeover. Mostly I go for the quick and easy, (and cheap) basic car wash. With a quick wipe down of the...

Watch Your Tongue

    It’s been said that the two best days of a boat owner’s life are the day you buy the boat and the day you sell it. I’ve heard the same thing said about motorhome owners. I’m not sure I buy it (pun intended), but I can speak from...
