What We Do, Redeux
Just a couple days ago, I had a post entitled "What We Do." Well, here a slightly different take — I'm revisiting that title again. Busy weekend finished up with Sunday afternoon grocery run, and then between the wife and me, putting three new dishes together for dinner. We worked well together in our little …
A Foundation of Grace
One of the readings for the weekend is from 1 Corinthians, Chapter 3. In the passage, Paul writes about how he, with God's grace, has laid a foundation for the believers in Corinth, and how additional layers would be laid upon that foundation. He also draws the parallel to the temple, how each of us, …
What We Do
What do we do when we’re married? What do we do when we’re parents? What do we do after a long day, a long week? We take care of business, that’s what we do. We go to the practice, we wash the dishes, we’re sociable, even if maybe we’re not feeling it. Who knows, it …
7
Our son just turned seven years old, had me thinking about 7 times 77 times 777 things around him, around me, around everything under heaven. So grateful I am he’s in our lives, so grateful to have this life with him, her, them. Then I ponder my path, crooked and bumpy and blessed, messed up …
Lyrics Post: “New Shoes”
Fun? Yes. In fact, GOOD. As is typical for me, I dive deep when I hear a song I like. In fact, I got this guy’s album, and then dragged my wife along to see him play live as well, based on this one song. It’s a good one. Oh, and the pic in this …
Desert Addendum: Cold Brew
First-hand account of “micro-desert” experience from the last twenty-four hours. I have like half a dozen things that need to come together this week, outside of regular work. I stalled out with progress on three in a row last night. It was a little frustrating. The near two-hour commute home didn’t help much. And so …
Desert
“The man in black fled acrossed the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” The opening line from Stephen King's The Gunslinger. I love it. During those first pages of the story as the hero pursues the antagonist through the desert, King writes in detail about how the Gunslinger is well trained to handle such harsh conditions. …

From Mundane, to Meditative
My mother ironed our family’s clothes for years. I remember the ironing board being set up in the laundry room, and shirts hanging there waiting to be ironed. All these years later, I haven’t “had” to wear neatly pressed clothes in maybe fifteen years; I’ve gotten by with gently frumpy a lot of the time. …
