Go Higher!
A friend of mine, who does contract labor, was telling me about a job his company was about to do. This particular job is a little bit dangerous, considering all the work will be done 40 feet up in the air. He said, “None of the younger guys wanted to do it, so I got...
A “Heavenly” Aroma
My wife called out to me while I was sitting in the backyard this morning, “I’m about to cook some breakfast. Do you want some?” “No thanks,” I replied. I continued sitting there in my Adirondack chair, enjoying the sights and sounds of the morning for a few more...
I DON’T FIT IN
Sometimes, I have this strange feeling that comes over me from out of nowhere. I can’t fully explain it other than to say it just feels like I “don’t fit in” … like I can’t find my place. I can enter a room full of people who have similar interests and backgrounds,...
Time for Reflection
Upon seeing one of my recent reflection shots, a friend commented, “How do you get the water to be so so still in your reflections?” That’s the whole key to a good reflection photograph … you have to wait until the wind dies down. If there’s any wind, it causes...

FAITH… AND MICROWAVE OVENS
A young man told me, “I shouldn’t have been baptized when I was 6 years old. I was too young and didn’t understand what I was doing.” He continued to talk about how children aren’t knowledgeable enough to make a decision of that magnitude until they get old enough to...
FIND THE HONEYSUCKLE VINE
On one of my morning walks I came upon a honeysuckle vine in full bloom and stopped to enjoy the beauty and aroma that it offered. Moments later I came upon a poison ivy vine … and avoided it completely. That’s what we’ve got to do in life. Enjoy the beauty … take it...
Just Send Your Word, Lord
A chill went down my spine one night as I taught a Bible Study at the Men’s Home. We were studying about the centurion who asked Jesus to come and heal his servant. While Jesus was still far off, the centurion sent word to Him to not come to his house, but to just...
WHERE’S THE FLAVOR?
Have you ever had a cold or a sinus infection that was so bad that you couldn’t taste any of the food you were eating? I remember one time I was eating a nice, big, juicy $12 hamburger at a restaurant, but I had a sinus infection and I couldn’t taste anything. It...
