Growing up we only had paper maps. One Christmas mom, dad & I, went to see my brother, Gene, who was stationed in San Antonio. Being the young lad, I sat in the back and watched & listened. According to dad, the streets in San Antonio were laid out wrong. They lacked common sense. Lost …

Stain Resistant…
I don't know who came up with the idea of fishing shirts, but they are wonderful. They have not improved my fishing, but they are lightweight and have a lot of pockets…but most of all, they are stain resistant. Ya see, I'm a guy who wears his food well. These shirts resist the food, coffee, …
A Special Valentine
“Are y’all going to be home for a few minutes? I’ve got flowers for Ms. Mary.” “Great come on.” As I hung up the phone I thought, “How sweet of Jason. I can’t wait to see how Mary reacts to the flowers…she has told me so many times, don’t waste your money on flowers!” The …
Seems Too Simple…
Have you ever noticed how comfortable doing nothing is? Even more…how the desire to remain comfortable is addictive? Usually, it’s our secret self-talk that creates stupid habits. I knew I should do something, but I didn’t. Frankly, I didn’t want to…I didn't want to change. For some time, I recognized I was losing strength in …
Practice For The Purpose
Football practice always started with “warm up drills”, then moved into contact drills (knocking each other down). After that there were the skill sessions of learning plays & moves…learning what to do, when & how. Then it was gut-check time. We would run wind sprints up and down the field. With my tongue hanging out …
“What’s The Answer?”
There I sat…It was the semester test in 9th grade algebra with 10 minutes before the bell and my test paper was almost empty. I didn’t then, nor do I now understand why I need letters to solve a math problem. But here I was. I needed answers. By the time my buddy handed me …
“WHOA Up There!”
I could not find the picture of me on my horse, the Old Mare. Yep, that was her name. I was around 7 when I saddled her up. In the afternoons I would come home from school and ride in the pastures & such. Being young I didn’t know all the horse tricks… like how …

“I’ve Got A Secret!”
The sooner a person learns, “Don’t ask why, just do as you’re told,” in basic training the better. I was the only one in our group told to report to this specific room. When the sergeant shut the door, it was all business. He told us to fill out the forms of everywhere we had …
Nematodes?
It was November 17, 2023, at 3:30 am when I suddenly woke up with a word on my mind. That word was NEMATODES. (God was planting the seed for this message a year later.) Chances are you have no idea what the word means. It’s been over 60 years since I heard the word, nematodes. …
