Quenched or Quickened?
On cold winter days when I am going to be leaving the house for a number of hours, I usually get the fireplace piping hot and load it up with some nice green logs. Right before I walk out the door, I will shut down all of the air going in. The fire will continueContinue reading “Quenched or Quickened?”
Stronger For It
Yesterday, a young lady at our church sang a song by the Carr family. I’d like to bring up the chorus and just say that, sadly, I’m not at this point yet…and part of me is scared to say this, but I WANT to be at this place. Make me blindThat I might seeMake meContinue reading “Stronger For It”
Problem With Math
I am so thankful that my school days are over. I still love to learn, and I desire structure in that as well, but I am happy that I get to have control over most of that.

An American Convenience
In America, and many other parts of the world, there are many things that we use every single day that people – historically – lived their lives without. Forget about TV’s, phones, computers, cars, and the like; I am talking about things that are basic to living; specifically, I am talking about plumbing. My familyContinue reading “An American Convenience”
Oh Taste and See!
I absolutely love food. I am not a small person, so it shows readily. I have been introduced to some authentic Indian food, and it is rapidly becoming my favorite type; however there is something that is better than any Indian food I have ever tasted. There is something tastier than butter chicken, more savoryContinue reading “Oh Taste and See!”
Adorned With Character
When you think of a pig, you probably don’t honk about a muddy mess. Pigs are know for wallowing in mud and are considered dirty. If you gave a pig a nice long bath and scrubbed him clean, a few hours later you would find him covered in mud again. Dogs are the same way.Continue reading “Adorned With Character”
