I’m presently sitting in the customer waiting area of an auto dealership waiting for a part replacement and oil change. I am finding more and more I hate sitting around strangers. Every time I clear my throat, you suddenly feel eyes on you like you have the plague. Which makes me want to turn around … Continue reading Public spaces

The older we get the more we need our friends.
This article in the Atlantic struck a cord with me when I started reading it. I’m going through a situation with a friend right now. Someone who I’ve known close to thirty years. This time… I do not know if I want things repaired or not. However, I am doing my best to keep my … Continue reading The older we get the more we need our friends.
The Christmas Spirit
I pulled out our Christmas tree this afternoon. I felt this year we had to have it up. Last year with all the Covid crap and News I wasn’t in the Christmas spirit. I decided that this year it would be in our living room. In the past we have put it up in our … Continue reading The Christmas Spirit
A good day.
Today has been a good day. Got to church at 7 to prepare for online services. Then after doing the weekly grocery run, I went for a walk in nature. I am glad the weather was very nice for another visit to Oak Grove Lake Park in Chesapeake, VA. Pretty soon daylight savings ends, and … Continue reading A good day.
Good morning
Didn’t do gym this morning. An injured muscle seems to not want me to push it. So I did a little over mile walk instead. Feels like a still shot for a horror movie Was someone riding around in a SUV acting little odd in my opinion. Made me wish I was carrying. Full moon … Continue reading Good morning

MATTHEW 6:30
“If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you — you of little faith?” Even if His provision doesn’t look the way we think it should, God can be trusted to meet our greatest needs. … Continue reading MATTHEW 6:30

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” While we should certainly be informed and engaged, we should not despair as if we have no hope. Ultimately, as Paul … Continue reading COLOSSIANS 3:1-2
The road
I stand on this road looking ahead. No matter how much I turn and look behind me, I can’t go back. Regrets, mistakes, things I wished I had done differently… I can see them but no matter how long I walk back, they are always out of reach. I can’t change the past. So I’m … Continue reading The road
ROMANS 8:26
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” More often than not, it seems, the issues before us are too complex and troubling to understand. In this passage, Paul made it clear … Continue reading ROMANS 8:26
