Prologue This article is about an extraordinary event that happened in the lives of two people that are dear to my heart. I feel that the time has come to publish it and let others know that seemingly impossible events can take place in our lives that defy explanation. I have not personally experienced the same manifestations that are presented here, but my wife has during the first few days of our youngest daughter’s […]

My Fascination With Shark Week As I write this blog in the home office, I have the the Discovery Channel playing one of the Shark Week documentaries playing in the background. It’s called “Jaws Awakens: Phred vs. Slash”. It’s a tale about two massive great white sharks that inhabit the South Pacific waters off the coast of southern New Zealand near the fishing community of Oban. These two sharks are sized in the area of 20 feet long and brandishing a bulk of 4000 estimated pounds of […]

The Crux Of The Story The story in the Bible centers around a patriarch named Job (In the Book of Job) who was allowed by God to be tortured by Satan so that his staunch allegiance to his Creator could be tested. During the course of his heart wrenching conversation with God, statements are made that has the suffering soul think about the consequences of dealing with two enormous beasts that existed during his lifespan. Beasts that were created by God for purposes understood by no one, […]

If I Were Alive Back Then When I watch movies or documentaries about the Civil War, I rarely see much that deals with the Reconstruction Period that took place afterwards. It seems that whatever I do find has to do with the way slaves were treated and what happened to them when set free. Very little is said about the trials and tribulations that everyone else went through at that time. Since I was born in the South, I guess I could think of myself as a […]

Kid Hunter I remember when I lived in California as a youth, I would often go hunting with my dad up to the northern part of the State for game like wild ducks, pheasants, quail and such. For my weapon of choice, he bought me a 4-10 shotgun which could fire only one shell at a time before requiring me to reload. It was a Christmas present and I cherished it, not only because it was my first weapon, but also because he allowed me to have […]

My Apps Are Fading Away I was recently informed by my online bank that their App running on my iPhone 6 Plus in the iOS 13.0 configuration would no longer be supported and that I must upgrade to a device that would handle iOS 14.0 or better. I had already been booked out of the LOWES Home Improvement App over a month ago, and Capital One was next. To accommodate these purveyors of forward looking software machinations, I would have to upgrade my device to an iPhone […]

Image by RitaE from Pixabay The Humdrum Everyday Staple What could be more boring than a meal that consists of a rump roast, boiled potatoes, sliced carrots smothered with plain old gravy. I tend to think of this meal as an American staple served on countless tables throughout the good old USA, each and every day. With the cost of beef as high as it is today, that scenario may not be as prevalent as in days gone by, but my thinking is, it still serves as […]

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay My Thoughts On Judas Iscariot When Jesus Christ chose his apostles, the one he knew would later betray him was already possessed of the devil. Judas Iscariot was a lover of money above all else and this was his evil undoing. Even though he followed the Savior’s teachings for three years, his heart was bent on selfish ambitions. I have often asked Christian leaders that I associated with an ominous question. In spite of all biblical evidence to the contrary, was there any possibility […]

Image by Balik on Pixabay The Sad Fact About Defective Kidneys In Children One thing I hate to see happen is the various health problems that can affect children at a very young age. One issue that came to my attention was kidney disease in a child or young teenager. I mean, they are just starting out in life and facing problems that should be the exclusive domain of an adult. They haven’t even had much of a chance to abuse their bodies yet like those […]

Even though we did have severe conditions and horrific rainfall, there was no resultant damage to my power lines or metal roof. But there could have been. One of my neighbors had a tree fall on the electrical service lines […]
