Miscellaneous things that I post. Could be deep. Could be shallow. Could be sad. Could be funny. Might even be true.
A few nights ago, I went out with my little telescope to look at the stars. The light pollution in Atlanta is so bad that it makes it very difficult to see anything unless it is very bright, but I still found a few things worth seeing. There were some binary stars, a few barely […]
The light was yellow. A big truck was in my rear view mirror. I had to decide fast. Slam on the brakes or go on through? I went on through. The light turned red. Was the camera watching? Will I receive a ticket in the mail? If I had stopped in time, would the truck
Some Monday’s are particularly hard to get up and go to work. This one started off that way, along with a little guilt, compliments of a book I purchased yesterday.

I had to fix the brakes on my wife’s van yesterday. I didn’t want to do it. It was a lousy job to come home to after a full Monday at the office, but the brakes were making a noise so I decided I better look at them. Bad brakes and mountain driving are not
We had communion last Sunday. It is almost always a moving experience as I eat the bread and drink the juice. Then I toss the plastic cup in the trash and it’s over. The little cup that held the juice that represented the blood of Christ, tossed away as if it is nothing. It felt a bit strange,
