The Four
There is a beautiful painting by Tricia Robinson called The Four. Sadly, due to copyrights I can’t in good conscience reproduce it here. But if you search for Tricia and The Four you can see it on her website. I mention this picture because of what it represents, and the message it carries. The world […]

Ghosts of the Past
“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 We all have ghosts that haunt us […]

The Crumbs from God’s Table
I have my favorite characters in the Bible; I’m sure you do, too. I would hazard a guess if I were to ask you who your favorite was, some would say David for being a man after God’s own heart, maybe Solomon for his wisdom, perhaps Paul or one of the other apostles, or maybe […]

The Things We Do for Love
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.” Proverbs 3:27 (NASB) I sometimes wonder why I even try to plan anything, because it never works out the way I envision it. We were scheduled to go to Minnesota this past weekend for a […]

Climbing Out of the Mud
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:8 I explained in an earlier post that I closed down my Facebook account a year or so […]

When the Day Turns as Gray as the Weather
This is from one of my old blogs, Finding My Way Home, and was referenced in my previous post. My cancer has been a long-standing problem and will never go away until I do. Praise be to God that so far, the side effects from the medications have been minimal, although trying to work out […]

When Your Life is No Longer Under Your Control
I’d be willing to bet most of you looked at the title and had a specific thought come to you about what it meant. Chances are pretty good the thought was wrong. When we think of not having control over our life it usually brings to mind something painful, terrifying, depressing, perhaps terminal, but always […]

100 MPH Down a Pitch-Black Road
File this one under, “What Was I Thinking?”. One night when I was 19, I was out running around with a friend from high school. We graduated together the year before and had been friends primarily because we both liked Ford automobiles, especially fast ones. He owned a 1969 Mach 1 Mustang that could best […]

Lessons from an Airport
I promised my friend Mary that if I ever wrote anything entitled Memoirs of a Geezer, I would include this story. As with any good story, there are always lessons to be learned. So, this one’s for you, Mary. The lessons are for anyone else who wants them. This will be longer than most of […]

An Encounter on a Plane
Years ago, when I was a college student in Arkansas, I used to love air travel. It was the easiest way to get back and forth from home to school, and it was relatively cheap. A redeye flight (which they no longer offer) was about $50 or so. You left late at night and arrived […]
