Dusting off the Friday Video!!!

Okay so I know a LOOOOOOOONG time ago I used to try this thing called “FRIDAY VIDEO” to sort of give you something to look forward to each Friday.  So with summer travels and my own slackness I just stopped doing it.
So I am trying to get started back up and want to share a [...]

Whatever could it be???……

So I just dropped a decent down payment on something that I’ve thought about doing for a long time in my life, but at the same time sort of wanted to keep on the DL.  It is a pretty big deal for me ———   (AND NO IT IS NOT AN ENGAGEMENT RING ha ha [...]

Braves, Beer, & … “BOWKER!” “BOWKER!”???

Braves, Beer, and Babes, um no, how about “BOWKER!” maybe not what you were expecting.  You see my family (Jeff & Lisa and my Aunt & Uncle that are in town visiting and I) went to see the Braves play the Giants on Wednesday evening.  It was GREAT!  The seats were 2-for-1 Wednesday so they [...]

An open letter of apology & empathy to Miss Erin Andrews

Dear Miss Andrews,
You have absolutely NO idea who I am and there is about .0000023% chance you will ever even read this, but due to recent circumstances in your life and the way it is making its way around the cyber-world, I felt compelled to write this letter to you, for you, for myself, and/or [...]

Okay just STOP already!

So in my last post about Psalm 136 I mentioned that it also made me think about another strange passage.  This passage is also about repetition – but this time it is some serious STRANGE stuff (like all the “s” alliteration??) going down.

Psalm 136 – If Pete & RePete were sitting on a fence…

Yesterday in my reading from the book of the Psalms, I encountered Psalm 136 – I have read it before and every time I do, once again it sort of jumps out at me the recurrence & repetitive nature of the line – “His love endures forever” (or “mercy endures forever” – depending on translation). [...]

Road Construction – the CURSED Blessing!

It’s interesting to me that it seems everywhere I’ve moved/lived the DOT (Dept. of Transportation) of that area always begins construction soon after I arrive, in close proximity to my home or work.  Once again this happened upon my arrival in Atlanta.
Now some may say – well DUH you live in Atlanta and they will [...]

The Biblical Response to “TWITTER”

I shared this on a friend’s blog, who has been pressured by countless people to turn his life over to the enigma that is “TWITTER”…..
I finally found it – your BIBLICAL ANSWER about “twitter” – I was reading from The Message today in Psalm 102 – and it hit me (totally sure it was the [...]
