My mind wanders… a lot. That can be useful when I’m brainstorming. It is a problem when I’m seeking answers. It isn’t odd for me to look at something only to be reminded of something else and go off searching for information on that. Technically, I do find answers, but not what I’m looking for. […]
I am not a fancy person. Never have been, don’t intend to be. I think I can count on two hands the number of meals I ate that had a proper table setting. I still maintain that one fork and one spoon is the best setting. You might need two knives because butter knives don’t […]
A fair warning, I don’t have much of a point with this post. I have a small idea, I’m just going to type and get to the end with you. There are days that I have all kinds of things going through my mind, yet they add up to nothing. I either can’t settle on […]
I don’t know about you, but I’m glad God looks at the heart and not the outside like we do (1 Samuel 16:1-13, specifically verse 7). He was talking to Samuel about the new king, but it still applies to us. For example, would you hire me to do something when I look like this? […]
I remember a story I read in the sixth grade about two high school wrestlers. The plot is lost to me, but the one scene I remember is the two of them in a restaurant. They had to watch their weight, so when one of them wanted a milkshake, he would slosh it around in […]
I was helping to look for a welding helmet the other day, and we got into a small discussion of how auto darkening helmets are better. That opinion was one sided, however, as I have only ever used helmets that you manually moved up and down. I have never used an auto darkening helmet. I […]
When I was a kid, I had all kinds of ideas of what life would be like when I became an adult. I’d be rich, or at least doing well, my name would be widely known, or even famous. You know, fairly standard dreams for kids. As I aged, the details changed, and most toned […]
Here’s a question that I’ve been thinking about today. We are all familiar with debts, and probably have heard the translation of the Lord’s Prayer that says “forgive us our debts.” We are asking God to forgive us of our sins against Him. That is what we are supposed to do. But, we keep trying […]
Do you praise God in bad times? How crazy does that sound? Praising God for the good things makes sense, but not for bad things. That seems like an odd thing to believe. However, as the old saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. Let me share a practical, though somewhat disgusting example. I […]
I grew up somewhat uniquely. In several ways, I grew up living in two worlds. One big example I like to use is technology. Computers became popular when I was in second grade. However, only the school had them at first. We got a family computer eventually, but we remained analog for a while. I […]
