TweetI didn’t sleep well Monday night. I kept waking up, checking the time, because I had an early appointment with the moon–a total lunar eclipse that would peak somewhere around 4:30 a.m. When I have to get up at a different time, I have a tendency to “watch the clock” all night. I didn’t want [...]
TweetTracking ants isn’t always easy. It was a breeze following them along the power cord and the garden hose. But that rapidly changed when the ants heading west exited the hose into our “natural” backyard and the ones heading east hopped off of the cord at the trailer onto our rock driveway and then headed [...]
TweetOk…the chipmunk is gone. Sorry to disappoint any of you who were hoping to take advantage of my offer. However, something else got into our house last night. My wife and I were sitting at our dinner table yesterday evening, enjoying the house, sans chipmunk. We had the deck door wide open again because we [...]
TweetAdorable chipmunk for sale. Pianist. Computer geek (familiar with MacBook Pro). Enjoys hide and seek. Eats cashews. No returns or refunds. Share on Facebook
TweetWell, actually a chip-monk in the house. I know I was supposed to finish the ant story today, but here’s the deal. We have a deck on the back of our house that overlooks the woods. My wife has the banister filled with wonderful flower pots, mostly geranium’s that have gorgeous blooms on them. The [...]
TweetGo to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8 “What in the world are you doing?” My wife had been watching me as I was outside, bent over, [...]
TweetThis has been a week! My mom was having post-op issues from her cancer surgery and so we had to take her back to the Denver hospital. She spent 6 days there. We picked her up yesterday and she is now in a full nursing facility for follow-on care until she can come home. My [...]
Tweet“‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ This mystery is profound…” Ephesians 5:31-32 Growing up, I never had a love for history. All of that has drastically changed now, but when I started college, I groaned when my advisor penciled [...]
TweetNext to watching flight ops, the second best experience was talking with the crew as we toured throughout this immense and amazing ship. They all work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week. When the carrier is deployed, they are gone for at least six months, often longer. The devotion, skills, and character of this diverse [...]
TweetForty-five minutes after boarding a Navy C-2, our crew raised their arms, index fingers pointing up, and made furtive circles in the air. That was the signal to all of us that we were about to “hit the deck” of the USS Abraham Lincoln. Even with all of the pre-flight descriptions, the force of it [...]
