I took the day off yesterday and Sam and I went fishing. We didn’t catch any fish, but we had fun anyway. Sometimes it’s not what you do or how well you do it, but who you do it with that counts. The memory of that day is definitely a keeper.
Years ago, my wife and I were traveling down a dark lonely road. We had just been to a foster parent training session and now we were taking the two lane county highway towards home. We lived in the country and it was late, so we had the road all to ourselves, or so we
If they had celebrated April Fool’s day back when Jesus was around, do you think he would have participated? I’m thinking there is no doubt. He may have even started the whole thing. When you get to Heaven, just ask the two guys who took a walk on the road to Emmaus. See Luke 24:13-32

Today’s post has more questions than answers, but since this blog is “various stuff” from my life, that’s OK, because I certainly don’t have all the answers. There is a boy who, along with me, wishes we had an answer to this one. We are searching for it together. Perhaps that is enough reason for

They usually say “Food” or “Gas” and then list the restaurants or gas stations at the exit. This sign just said “Attraction” and did not list what the attraction was. As I passed, I wondered what I
