Don’t Be Afraid
I had a post scheduled to go for today, then I saw this sign as I was walking through downtown Pembroke yesterday. I thought it was a great message. Seemed like something appropriate for this Sunday. Today’s scheduled post has been shifted to Monday.
UFO
Saw this in the night sky when I was on vacation in Maine. Do you know what it is? Give up? No, it isn’t an Unidentified Flying Object, though I could probably have convinced you it was. It is a lantern, one of those disposable paper ones that people send off into the night sky […]
Hero From Another Time
Been thinking a lot about family recently and its importance to us. Been doing a lot of family things too, sometimes full of joy, other times tinged with sadness. Those I will write about, but there is some internal processing to do first. So today a family story. If you think you may have heard […]
The Beginning, Again
It’s that day again. On August 30, 2014 I began regularly posting in this spot, resurrecting a blog that had had one entry and then been temporarily abandoned. It is amazing I remembered the password. As I do every August 30, I’m going to look back and share some thoughts from that 2014 post, where […]
Back To The Pantheon
The Pantheon is one of my favorite spots to visit when in Rome. Can I tell you why? Part of it is definitely history. The building, now a Christian church, pre-dates Christianity. A lot has happened on this site over the years. It has been a place of worship for millennia. I’m sure part is […]
Overcomer
Imagine being a high school basketball coach, with expectations of a championship season. Then, due to economic upheaval, almost your whole team moves away. You are re-assigned to coach track and field, a team that consists of one asthmatic runner. What do you do? Such is the premise of Overcomer, the latest film from the […]
Sunrise Over Saco Bay
Vacation. It’s a magical word. A time for rest and relaxation (for the most part), for re-connection with God and man. In my case, a trip to the Atlantic Ocean in Maine on the American East Coast. For me this is one of the few places where I can place the cares of the […]
A Pause For Reflection
It is vacation time again. I really need this one, it has been a hectic year. So I’m going to do something really different. Normally I am working on at east a dozen different posts that are just a small edit away from being ready. That is true now also. But there hasn’t been time […]
Blue Dot, Purple Dot
I lost focus Wednesday. It can happen to anyone. I was a little distracted. I had decided not to post on Thursday because I wanted to expand on what I had written. I completely forgot that I had scheduled the post for publication while I was sleeping. So today you’ll get what you were supposed […]
Mr. Walker Had A Car
This post was first published four years ago. It came to mind last night for some reason. I’ve updated a couple of points. I was running errands with my mother. That means I drive her wherever she needs to go, wait until she is finished, then drive her to the next place she wants to […]
