500

December 1, 2011.Reading time 5 minutes.

According to Blogger, this is my 500th blog entry. That’s a whompin’ load ‘o writing, seems to me. Hard to imagine it, really. I started this blog using some software that no longer exists and whose name I can no longer recall. Then, I moved it to Rapidweaver, when I re-did my whole website, using […]

"A Little At A Time"

October 7, 2011.Reading time 12 minutes.

This morning, I stopped long enough to do something that I know I need to do more. I lit candles and incense, here at my writing desk, and wrote in my journal. It dawns on me much of what I wrote was probably worth saying publicly. So here goes… Fridays are supposed to be sacred […]

An Amazing Birthday Vision

September 22, 2011.Reading time 8 minutes.

First, for the zillions of amazing and generous birthday greetings via Facebook…Thank You. Every year, I forget just how amazing this is, this Facebook-Birthday-Greeting-thing. Very likely, while I write/post this blog, I will receive the five HUNDREDTH Facebook greeting. No joke. It’s shockingly wonderful. It’s always beautiful to hear from the incredibly diversity of my […]

Songs for the Day

July 4, 2011.Reading time 9 minutes.

Looking for songs for the day? Feeling put off by the word “patriot” or “patriotism” like there’s no place for you in these words? Try these songs, and these versions. This first one is one I’ve often thought about on the 4th of July. I know that several folks have covered this song, but you […]

Father’s Day

June 19, 2011.Reading time 3 minutes.

Today is “Father’s Day,” and as with most days songs come to mind. A few songs that remind me of Father’s Day. First, perhaps the tough stuff. Because we must admit that being a Dad is not always a fond memory for anyone. This is perhaps not only one of the great songs of fatherhood, […]

A Rant In the General Direction of Anyone Living North of Here. And Mother Nature Too

February 9, 2011.Reading time 10 minutes.

OK, I’ve had it. It’s icing again outside. We’re scheduled to have below freezing temps for the next two days….including a current wind chill of minus one. (Yes, right now) The weather around here, for the past few weeks, has been beyond insane. And beyond having to contend with it ourselves, we’ve had to contend […]

Fifty Years

June 16, 2010.Reading time 2 minutes.

An awfully momentous event went relatively unnoticed over the weekend. My folks celebrated their 50-year wedding anniversary. The “relatively unnoticed” part is that the big celebration is going to happen in early August. That week, all of us kids, all of our kids and spouses, Mom and Dad, are headed up to Estes Park to […]

Goodbye, Paul (or, "Infrastructure is Grace")

June 8, 2010.Reading time 11 minutes.

This week, we’re saying final goodbye’s to Paul Escamilla. For some of us, the goodbyes have been going on for a while now. Paul, as many of you will know, has been a minister here in North Texas for well over 20 years now. He’s also one of the founding members of Connections. After our […]
