How about that “political correctness?” — resolution2016

Hi faithful followers, So lately there is a lot of talk about “political correctness.” We see a lot of words being thrown about concerning the “left” and the “right.” Then we see the terms the “far left” and the “far right.” No matter which side you identify with, I challenge you to ask why […] via…

The Beginning — resolution2016

In the beginning, God created science! Oh wait! No, that’s not right. Let’s start again, shall we? In the beginning God created medicine! No, that’s not right either. Ok, ok.

Picture this, the disciples had Jesus with them every day.  They walked with Him, they talked with Him, they ate with Him, they slept next to Him, they cast out demons in His name, and they were with Him to see all the miracles that Jesus performed.  Yet, even though they had Jesus physically with them,…

Reflecting

When I think about the pleasure writing brings to my life, I often reflect back to my childhood days of spending many a lazy afternoon on a South Carolina beach where my family and friends spent so many summer days.  We didn’t  take grand vacations or anything, but we loved camping, and it was a family…

So…I’ve made the decision to minimize.  I have decided that I have too much stuff. Most people have too much stuff.  Too much physical stuff, too much emotional stuff, just too much stuff.    It’s all just like baggage that weighs us down as we carry it around.  You know, like when you’re traveling on vacation,…

Hurricane

He came to me by way of the great hurricane, Katrina, that pummeled the gulf coast states of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama in late August 2005.   So, I named him Hurricane, and he became my constant companion.  Hurricane went everywhere with me.  We went for walks together, we went for rides together.  I took him with me on…
