End of my rope

That’s an all too familiar phrase. Deadlines start coming, problems arise, money gets tights, and there you are, barely hanging on to your sanity. Or, in my case, what I refer to as sanity. At that point, you have reached the end of your rope. I don’t really know how long that rope is. I […]


Wheels on the Bus

I don’t think you need any more information on what song I’m referring to, and I will not write any more of it; I don’t want it stuck in my head either. But, the intro was somewhat necessary, because another type of bus has been on my mind tonight. I don’t know how well known […]


Selling Out

As I ponder, which I tend to do if not engaged in any kind of activity, I drift from one thought to another. Just recently, the tide of thoughts washed over the reviews that I put here. If you’ve read them, and there will be more in the future, you may notice that they are […]


It’s Myopia

I am nearsighted (or as Moe put it one time, I have short eyeballs). I fully admit it. I have to every morning when I get up and can’t see much more than a blur. It’s complicated in my right eye by astigmatism. While I could look up the proper specifics on what that means […]


Where did I put it?

Though I can only speak for myself with any authority, I would not be surprised if you could relate to this. Maybe not exactly, but in a similar fashion. When I was a kid, I thoroughly enjoyed reading. It was not odd for me to become so engrossed in what I was reading that I […]


My brain slipped

Looking down at the scale can be a scary experience. Depending on what your position on weight is (mine is on the upper end), the scale may not be something you want to see too often. Recently, I decided to watch my weight a little more closely than I had been, so I have tried […]


Work and family

The books written by Andy Stanley that I have read have always touched on something I was already wondering about, or even facing. That means I have been able to read them without forcing my self to read it “because it might be helpful to me one day.” Add to that, I have gotten them […]


Why should I?

Those who know me have heard me, at one time or another, quote the Three Stooges. I grew up watching them, and I still consider them to be, in my opinion, comedic geniuses. You are welcome to disagree with me, but this is my post, so I can make the rules as far as what […]


The Cupboard Was Bare

I won’t torture you with another rendition of Old Mother Hubbard, but instead I want to visit left field again. Have you ever heard, or said, that a church/pastor/teacher wasn’t feeding [the person who made the aforementioned comment]? At first glance, that seems logical, and very possible. But since I can’t bring myself to stop […]
