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 …

How’s Your Smell?
I am Blessed to have a full outdoor kitchen at the lake. On mornings I fire up the smoker my neighbor strolls over and says, “Whatcha cooking, dead bird?” My smoked chicken is his favorite. The only way he knows I am cooking is by the smell. He, like many people, is attracted to the …

“What’s The Answer?”

Happy?
The first half of my life I was addicted to being happy. I followed the trail that always led me to “Happy.” While people draw their “happy” from different things, I drew mine from people. I got my “happy” fix cutting up at school …having fun, not the schoolwork. On dad’s farm, when he was …
Accused….
It was the summer after my freshman year in college when my buddy and I worked in Shreveport, Louisiana (158 miles from our home in Hamburg, AR). I was working for Coca Cola as a “helper” on the routes. My job was moving the different drinks from the truck to the store and moving the …
