Miscellaneous things that I post. Could be deep. Could be shallow. Could be sad. Could be funny. Might even be true.

Farming

It’s been a hard week at the farm.  Long hours and not much good results.  Now I have a dilemma with my ox in the ditch: If I work this Sunday to get the ox out of the ditch, does that increase the likelihood the devil will lead him back to the ditch next Sunday?  Should […]

A Mile or Two

A Christian co-worker had a wreck.  Somebody hit her from behind.  The guy that hit her pleaded for her to let him fix it without turning it into the insurance.  He had his own shop, he said.  He could fix it, he said.  She agreed, and left her car by the road.  He would send

Tired, Overwhelmed, and Grateful

Tired. The end of a long day at the end of a long week. Overwhelmed. Always more to do than there is time to do it. Grateful. He doesn’t want better performance, just better fellowship.

Lady Liberty

I saw Lady Liberty smoking a cigarette while standing by the road.  It wasn’t exactly the Statue of Liberty.  It was more like a grizzly dude in a costume that was a really bad caricature of the Statue of Liberty.  I think he was supposed to be catching my attention and pointing me in the direction of a

The Battle I Never Fought

I have to post a short update on the hornets nest story . . . Today, the hornets’ nest fell out of the tree.  It was empty.

Who Ya Gonna Blame?

We had a problem with the computers at work last night.  The web conference was scheduled, people from all over the country connected, everybody waited, but the demo site wouldn’t work.  After 30 minutes of trying, we cancelled the conference.  Wasted time, for a bunch of people.  The search for who/what to blame began almost

Where’s the Remote?

I just hate it when the remote control for the TV is lost.  I start yanking out sofa cushions, sliding furniture around and accusing family members of negligence.  This scene played out this past Sunday night with an unexpected outcome. One thing I have learned when going on a remote control search: Even if you

Gifts, Gadgets, and Good Deeds

Less than three days until Christmas and I still don’t have all my shopping done.  Right now it’s down to two of the most difficult gifts I buy every year.   Something for my Mom and Dad.  From the discussions I have had with others, I can tell there are many in the same situation.  Parents are

The Trade-off

It’s pouring down rain and I have a wet seat.   I drive a little Miata convertible with a leaky top.  From what I hear, it’s not that unusual.  Anybody that has had a convertible for long knows that sooner or later, it will leak.  For me, it leaks sooner AND later.  Sometimes the leaky top

Dealing with Hornets

Last night it got cold.  This morning the hornets are gone, and I didn’t have to do a thing.   I guess sometimes the easiest battle you ever fight is the one you never fight. This summer, we noticed a hornets’ nest up in the magnolia tree.  It was right in the front yard and I was afraid
