The Challenge Continues: Even though I have not recorded each day after day five I have been diligent to continue the challenge. Each day I have asked God for something, I have tried to do something fun, I have sought to be a blessing to someone every day, and I have earnestly tried to be thankful…
Once Upon a Time in a Graveyard Past
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Forces of Nature.” I am a runner. I’m not a great runner. I’m certainly not a fast runner, but I do run so that makes me a runner. It has taken quite a while for this to resonate in my psyche. A slow process of evolution has given me the…
Hope Challenge
Day 5: 1. Ask God: I wanted to take a window AC to Beth. I needed a Phillips screwdriver to complete the task. I knew most of my stuff was packed away in boxes, and would be extremely difficult to find, so I prayed: “Lord, please let me find a screwdriver, so I can take this AC to…
How’s your Hope Meter?
A hopeful person is person who practices hope. Psalm 71:14 says, “I will hope continually and will praise you [Lord] yet more and more.” This verse sounds good to the ears but my question is: Is it practical…is it doable? I mean let’s get real, how can we experience hope when everything in our life seems hopeless?…
A Dragonfly Sort of Thing
I have been on vacation for the past week. We didn’t go anywhere tropical, exotic or fancy. We stayed at home. I was quite disappointed because we planned to spend our week in Provincetown Mass, a new England village nestled between the shores of Cape Code. However, circumstances intervened and as a result P-Town was exchanged for our…

Crumble three chicken bouillons over cabbage add a pinch of sugar…salt and pepper. Toss until well covered…. Cover and cook on low until desired tenderness. Remove from pan…
Oh well…(The Glass REALLY is half full)
Last week I went for a run. It had been way too long since the last one…almost a week. I thought about berating myself for waiting so long. Oh well…instead I laced up my Asics, grabbed the doorknob, and left the chastisement inside. Outside I was greeted with a light but constant wind, a drizzle of…
Maximize with Jillian
How far would you drive and how much would you pay to “Maximize” your life? Well, it turns out; I would drive 53 miles and pay exactly $65.95 x 2. Concord, New Hampshire would soon be hosting Jillian Michaels and her “Maximize Your Life 2014” tour. I was so excited the see the drill Sargent from the…
Ode To Fred Phelps
Fred Phelps was dying. I read the news with a cup of coffee in my hand. He and his followers of Westboro Baptist picketed so many funerals. In 1998 they began their public ministry at the funeral of a young gay man who had been savagely beaten, crucified and left alone to die. They…
Morning Musings…
Today’s been slow. I got up fixed a cup of coffee and had a piece of cake…Not the best breakfast in the world. I justified it by promising myself a run before work. Now I’m second guessing the promise… Did some Face-booking and checking out the world news as I sipped my cup of magic…same ole crap…just…
