I consider…
… that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. – Romans 8:18 No matter how bad things may get, it’s going to be that much better later on. It’s actually not even worth comparing.

My broken down car
I’ve been driving around Dallas in a beaten up car. My dashboard lights don’t work. The radio doesn’t work. The grill fell off. The front side is dented. The hood requires two people to open and close. I can only use my key to unlock the passenger side and my […]
Dallas – Part 1
I got into Dallas last Friday. I’m still looking for jobs without much success. I went to the singles group for the church Watermark on Tuesday night. Kind of scary. There were like 300 people there and I didn’t know any of them. I did make progress and met one person, […]
Turning away
It’s the middle of the night and my little niece is ferociously screaming. I’m thinking again how there are so many grown up people ferociously screaming, it’s just all muffled on the inside and called depression. As the little one misses the Garden of Eden, I’m thinking about how difficult […]
Newness of Life
For the past few years I’ve frequently found myself getting bored with life. I’m getting bored with sports and routines and brushing my teeth and tying my shoelaces.

Lady in Red
I’m not sure what town it was in or even what route we were on, but there it was etched in large red letters under that bridge. I think it might have been Connecticut or somewhere near the Saw Mill Parkway. Someone had written the name “Annie” under the overpass. […]
Putting my drop in the bucket
I haven’t always been very involved with politics. I think the biggest reason is because I don’t like politics. I am particularly sensitive to disharmony and I don’t like all the ugliness that comes out with each election. I don’t like the advertisements and put-downs. I don’t like the feelings […]
A tribute to Sal
This note is loosely based on the career of Sal Fasano and the Jeff Pearlman article linked below. http://www.rd.com/your-america-inspiring-people-and-stories/baseball-player-contemplates-steriod-use/article89787-1.html He doesn’t know what to think anymore or how to act or what he’ll do in a few years. He scatters seed, but doesn’t see much fruit. You see, when you […]
Disappointment with God
There have been many times where I’ve felt misled, deceived and betrayed by God. I get tired of hearing people say “God is never late” or “God will never let you down”. I think a better expression is, “God knows what He’s doing” – even if we don’t know what we’re […]
