You left well, Dolly
There is a common saying that brings comfort to each of us who lose a loved one that says “Heaven gained.” I beg to differ and agree. I don’t believe any person leaving this World, who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, will be a ‘gain’ to God’s majestic Kingdom. I believe it…

When tomorrow doesn’t come.
“Myron, I went to bed a young man and woke up an old man.” “How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.” James 4:14 NLT I have written these profoundly telling words that my dad said to me…

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”
Andy Williams famously sang this song decades ago and it rings in my ears as I write these thoughts. It’s blackberry picking season. And that means time alone among the thorns hearing God’s voice and inspiration like no other time. Marvelous. There are always epiphanies for me as I seek and harvest those miracles called…

Random ramblings of a simple man.
I find myself in a confused and conflicted time of my life. I am solid in my identity. I am solid in the blessings of my amazing wife and family. I am solid in these personal thoughts that I have decided to share. Beyond this, I am wandering and seeking… Your dream is not everyone…

Squirrels
My family gave me a squirrel-proof bird feeder that has proven to be very accommodating to the squirrels. The “protective” wire that houses the seed holder gives them a nice foothold as they devour the seeds meant for the many beautiful birds that inhabit this area. Squirrels! There is an interesting dynamic as I observe…

What I love about grapefruit.
My daughters and I love grapefruit. We like the large ones with pink centers. We love the citrusy taste offset by the sweetness of a little sugar (Stevia for me the diabetic). We love them cold from the refrigerator. The exhilaration of the sensory blend of smell, taste and temperature delivers something very satisfying…and they’re…

Slow Learners
There are all kinds of ways to quickly cook barbecue but any ‘barbecue master’ will tell you that the final result is in the preparation. I am somewhat of a pork tenderloin and babyback ribs master. My secrets? Haha, wouldn’t you like to know! How do you think the Israelites would have looked upon God…

Praise in the Storm
A few months ago I publicly wrote and announced that I was no longer hiding or avoiding Satan and his minions. I arrogantly wrote that I was declaring war on him and his evil. I naively shared that I was ready. I wasn’t and I am not. “If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover…

Some Assembly Required
In those early years of having kids, Christmas was a time of sweet, coupled with sour, highlighted by Christ and offset by the stress test of gifts with the anxiety producing announcement/warning, “Some Assembly Required.” I recall those Christmas Eve evenings where frenetic activity replaced the calm of a Christmas Eve service at church, a…
