  • Listening to the Right Voices

    It’s been years since I had anything that remotely resembles what’s called a “normal night’s sleep”, that being eight continuous hours. I spent many years in nursing working every conceivable type of shift, and my circadian rhythm is permanently broken. It was during one such episode last night that I came across the above image […]

  • Sneaking Up on God

    I love reading the Bible, and especially the Gospels. My favorite people as recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the ones who barely get noticed, who are never identified by name, and who only merit a couple of verses. I believe they best represent the ones Jesus said He came to seek and […]

  • Pain and the Process of Healing

    As a retired nurse I understand a little about the process of wound healing. Sometimes the pain of a wound is matched or exceeded by the pain of cleaning and repairing, and even healing. The body’s process of healing a wound can be very uncomfortable for a while, but in the end the pain goes […]

  • Struggling and Being Made New

    Lately I find myself a bit overwhelmed by a myriad of thoughts God has placed on my heart and mind about several different things. Most confusing are the ones which revisit places and situations that bring back shame and pain, and which I thought had been healed some time ago. I know I repented of […]

  • One Flesh

    Rita and I will celebrate our 46th anniversary in about a week and a half. It means we have been married almost all of our adult life. I can’t even begin to conceive what being single was, or would be, like. When I tell people how long we’ve been married they respond as though it […]

  • More Questions than Answers

    I’ll need to keep this one short. In a little while, I will be taking my wife back to see her oncology nurse practitioner for a biopsy of a suspicious area related to her endometrial cancer surgery of a year and a half ago. The practitioner found it last week during a routine checkup. God […]

  • Prince of Peace, Control My Will

    Come now, you who say, “Today of tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” You do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes […]

  • What I Believe: Begin with the Basics

    Originally posted on Ranting Against the Status Quo:
    As a father and grandfather, I am intrigued as I watch my children and grandchildren grow. However, I am troubled by certain things I see in them, particularly in matters of faith and belief. Granted, my kids have grown up in an era of situational morality, multiculturalism,…

  • Safe with Papa

    Originally posted on Back to the Natural State:
    My wife and I just returned from a four day trip to Austin TX where we enjoyed a “Grandkid Fix”. It had been a few months since we saw them last, and really needed a pick-me-up. Every grandparent in the world knows exactly what I mean. There…

  • The Tyranny of Our Rebellion

    “Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.” John Milton, Paradise Lost “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, […]
