Busted Knuckles Phil is headed into surgery in a few hours, hopefully to correct some issues he's long suffered with. Pray all goes well. I'm about his age. It's sad to see a dude like me suffer. Doesn't seem fair after working hard your whole life, does it. I'll be dedicating my morning prayers to … Continue reading Pray for Phil

Getting Fit
Weigh-in this month had me at the same weight I've been for the last three months. Heavier than I prefer, but my clothes still fit well, if not somewhat loose. This could be due to a number of reasons. The first is that I stopped being as fastidious with my diet on weekends. The girl … Continue reading Getting Fit
Whatever…There are Consequences.
There were a couple of great lines from a book by Robert Fulghum that I've been trying to find for quite some time. Now that I'm done unpacking boxes, I finally found the book which is called "It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It". It's from a story that he wrote where … Continue reading Whatever…There are Consequences.
That hit Home
I pondered a bit whether to post this at all. DeWayne has a tremendous sense of clarity, and an awesome delivery style. He's done this to me once or twice, where he comes along and leaves me gape jawed. He's reflecting on one of St. Paul's letters (1 Corinthians, I believe) but he delves back … Continue reading That hit Home
He’s Right, of Course
I really enjoy Tack Room Bible Talk, on the YouTubes. Usually, he'll cover a concept, or passage and spend a bit of time fending off the various Pharisees. He'll say, it's not about dogma. He's only interpreting the word. Last week, he veered away from the bible and had a chat for the women. https://youtu.be/XpOLgUZ2yTE?si=AEPhBteVfF4zN5iq … Continue reading He’s Right, of Course
Getting Fit
Haven't done one of these in a minute. Now that I'm settled, I can get back on track with my fitness regimen. It took a bit of a battering over the holidays, especially with the move. My weight is right where it's been for over a year. A little heavier, thanks to the holidays. I've … Continue reading Getting Fit
Resolutions?
It was an interesting New Years. One of the things you'll notice during some holidays in Texas is a certain amount of happy fire. In Plano, that sound would be far off. You'd hear a distinct series of reports, all clipped, in an evenly spaced 6, 7, or 15 pattern. Clearly not firecrackers. So you'd … Continue reading Resolutions?
A New Beginning
Happy New Year! This is a new beginning for me. Got a new pace in a new town. I've already started meeting people. Meeting new friends has never been hard for me. Living down here has made my life way easier. I have some things to wrap up in Plano, but they're easy. I have … Continue reading A New Beginning
Refugee Moving
The best-laid schemes of mice and men. I'm readying to move. Got the new house. Packing up the old house. I rented the new place a month in advance so I wouldn't have to refugee move. I said that on a call this week and one of my coworkers asked what a refugee move was. … Continue reading Refugee Moving
Not a Fan
There's a guy at my Church that does physical/occupational therapy that holds sessions every week as a ministry. Several of my friends (older ones) go to these. One, in particular, always wore the same type of Nikes I used to buy. As a testament to their declining quality, you could hear him coming from across … Continue reading Not a Fan
