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 …
“Be Still and Know I Am God.”
It was late in the afternoon, Thursday October 2, 1997, when the bus left the church parking lot. Like most God things, I had ideas…but really, I had no idea what He was doing or would do. I was along for the ride. During the forever bus trip I noticed more & more buses, cars, …
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 …
What’s In The Blood?
I’m sure people who know me are saying to themselves, “What does Robert know about blood? He barely got out of school.” And they are right, but this is what He put on my heart to share with you. Last week before I saw my endocrinologist (diabetic doctor), she ran an A1C Blood Test to …
“What Did You Say?”
Have you ever said or posted something stupid? You know, the flippant comment about someone that was not favorable? Sure, you have. We usually follow it with this scripture from Proverbs 26:19 “I was only joking!” Yep, there ya go, thousands of years ago King Solomon told us, “What has been will be again, what …
“Exhausted!”
God is so cool! At the ripe old age of 77 I am still discovering that the truth of “His Ways” are different than my natural ways (Isaah 55:8). I have a natural tendency to speak out…step out and do before asking or thinking. This week one of my dear buddies in Bible Study Fellowship …
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 …
