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?”

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. When I was in college, Calculus II was the most confusing for me. My teacher wasn’t very goodContinue reading “Problem With Math”
Moving God Through Prayer
Hudson Taylor, a young man still in his teens, after answering God’s call on his life to evangelize the empire of China, wanted to know if he could move men through the power of prayer. He set out on an experiment; he would not ask his employer for his pay when it was due him.Continue reading “Moving God Through Prayer”
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!”
The Key To Building A House
The ads that have been surrounding me lately have mostly been about what tools to get dad for Father’s Day. As a father, the sentiment is nice. I do like to have nice tools and I am often building things. We have been building our house for close to a year now and progress sometimesContinue reading “The Key To Building A House”
A Stink in the Air
A few days ago I went into my workshop and noticed the worst odor known to man. I knew instantly what it was and immediately felt the tears raising in my soul. I keep a freezer in the back of this workshop and, because we live on a farm and process our own meat, itContinue reading “A Stink in the Air”
Sentiment
There are few things that are irreplaceable, but the things that matter most to me are the simple gifts that were given to me by the people I love most. My wife loves to give me little notes, and my eldest daughter gives me simple things like wildflowers she picked up on a walk. MyContinue reading “Sentiment”
After perfection
If you have ever watched a child do a job that was just a little bit out of their ability, then you might understand the frustration of perfectionists watching someone do a job improperly. I admit, I am not – by any stretch of the imagination – a perfectionist. However, I can sympathize a littleContinue reading “After perfection”
Sacrifices Is An Exchange
I do not really look at the things that I “sacrifice” as giving up something, I look at it as exchanging it for something better; a trade up rather than a trade off due to one being of more value instead of equal. I go to work to provide for my family, I sacrifice someContinue reading “Sacrifices Is An Exchange”
