  • Christian Church – Wake Up!

    Wake Up!! Ever hear these words before? Perhaps growing up your mom, dad, or a sibling would yell this and you would slowly roll out of your bed and start your day. Well today, right now I am yelling these words – WAKE UP – CHRISTIAN CHURCH! I have been involved in many levels of…

  • Once Upon a Time…in America

    The year was 1969 and my parents welcomed me into this world at 2:19 AM! No wonder I like to be up early! No, this isn’t about me, well not sort of. Today is January 17, 2021 and I have been blessed to be on this planet for 18, 901 days or 3.919311e+10 seconds –…

  • 2020 – The year that was’Nt

    Just imagine with me for a few moments. You have awakened from a deep sleep, you know, one those that you feel like you have been sleeping for days. You open your eyes, to bright shining sun rays coming through your blinds and sit up saying aloud “today will be a great day!” You get…

  • Unique Story

    Each of us has a unique story, so be thankful for where you are… As I was driving around town today doing some errands I did a lot of people watching. I began to think about each person I saw and wondered about where they were going, what they were doing and even why they…

    Coronavirus (covid-19) is real! The following is directly from the CDC page: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.

  • Not following

    Called to lead, not to run and follow, at least I know that is the plan for me. So much turbulence these days in social media and the media and its very sad. It’s not just election stuff either. Pandemic, sports, health systems, taxes and sure politics all have become stressors for so many. And…

  • Oh 2020

    2020 just keeps on educating us, well at least me. I would have never thought that I would remove a post because some had their feelings hurt, but I did this earlier in the year. Now, as the world we know continues to be “at war” with itself I find myself wondering just what else…

  • Put Your CAPE Back On!

    Up, Up and away, my spidey senses are tingling, Hulk SMASH, I have the power and Flame On! What do all of these have in common? If you said these are all things said by superheroes you would be correct; Superman, Spiderman, Hulk, He Man and Torch. These are just a few of over 10,000…

  • Stepping on Toes

    I struggled a bit with this blog. I mean after all its going to touch on God, politics and personal views / beliefs. Pretty much bomb building 101 isn’t it? We are 26 days away from an election that just seems full of doom and gloom. Let’s start with it is 2020, we all know…

  • No Matter What

    No Matter What

    What if in a moment of magic, you closed your eyes and everything was wonderful. What would you do? Would you even believe it? Or would you kick it to the side because all you would see is your chaotic, trivial world and not even be able to the good? We all have “those” days,…
