I Know Now Where I Went Wrong

Yesterday, I read this verse from Isaiah, in regard to the Servant of the Lord (the Messiah): “The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. The Sovereign Lord has opened my …

Keeping Your Aim Straight

Aunt Juanita’s funeral was yesterday. There is, of course, absolutely no way for any description I could write to do this fine woman justice. But I would like to share with you an anecdotal snapshot or two from my aunt’s life. If you read my last blog post, then you know that my uncle A.J. …

My Old Kentucky Home

I attended the funeral yesterday of a most wonderful man. He was a gentle man, and a gentleman in the true sense of the word: kind, hard-working, a devoted husband, and a loving father. It was the funeral of my Uncle A.J.. He was 89 years old when he passed from this life on the …

Back in the Saddle Again

Well, looks like I truly am back in the saddle again, in more ways than one. The school year has begun again, with a vengeance. And we have realized that with all the activities we have said “yes” to, we are going to be behind the wheel of our car, driving, every day of the …

The Right Stuff

I feel British Petroleum’s pain. No, seriously, (sorta) I do. Because here in the Boonies, we, too, are in the midst of a massive cleanup effort. It is in the bedroom of one of my dear children. And today, that child is working on the closet. And by faith, I believe this child may someday …

Transitions R Us

Life is full of transitions, isn’t it? I mean, really, when is it not? We go from being little human boneless skinless chicken breasts: limp and helpless as they come, to purposeful smiling, to lifting our heads, to rolling over all in the blink of an eye. We become terrible toddlers, and then learn to …

George, The Chicken

I’d like to tell you a little bit about my family, and this morning, I think I’ll start off with our Little Bit, the youngest member of our family. She is, as any good Irishman would tell you, the light o’my life, my little ray of sunshine. I’ll call her the Boonie Baby, for the …
