It’s hard to believe that I’ve been blogging for almost 5 years now. Beginning with a trip overseas in September 2006 I thought that I would only use it to chronicle my travel stories. Little did I know that it would become an integral part of my life and help me rediscover the joy of [...]

Surviving A Drought
June 22nd, 2011

This is a picture of Texas right now. And actually its a future picture of Texas through September as we head into the dry months of July and August. To state it bluntly–there is no hope of rain on the horizon (unless God sees fit to send us a Pacific hurricane that could help). So [...]

This post is part of Sunday Set Lists over on The Worship Community Blog. It’s where worship leaders share their Sunday experiences. Memorial Day weekend—time to get away (except for those of us with graduates. We’ll attend our second graduation this weekend this afternoon. I’m just about Pomp and Circumstanced out!).

Well, Graduation 2011 is in the books. We are now the proud parents of an SHS graduate. And I must admit, it wasn’t a bad experience after all. All of the events of the last month (banquets, concerts, etc) have kept us busy but graduation night was the pinnacle. I haven’t been to a graduation [...]

Yesterday my brother reminded me of our class motto at our graduation NEVER BEFORE. NEVER AGAIN. TODAY IS OUR DAY!

Saturday was a beautiful day–for family time and for a little spring baseball. Our High school team was in the area playoffs, so we headed for the stadium. We were down 1 game and needed to win the second and third game to advance. The first game was a nail biter. Teams battled back and [...]
Being Ready For Death

Death comes…no matter the age. It comes for young and old. It comes for rich and poor. It comes for those ready and those caught by surprise. I had the task today of pulling my oldest child out of class to tell her that one of her classmates had been killed last night in a [...]

Something that only takes place in the State of Texas. Something that our lawmakers should take note of, and be proud of. Texas is the leader in Arts/Education in the [...]

I’ve been a part of many, many memorial/funeral services in 23 years of ministry. Most, if not all of them tend to be very similar and very standard in their expression. But every once in a while there comes a day that you will always remember. Today was such a day. It began with a [...]
