“Morning: it is zero-six AM”.. Yes, I can see that, thank you. My morning alarm has one of those awful text to speech synthesizers, and in order to wake yours truly, it is loud. After being shocked into awareness today, my first thought was of the work I have to do today. I am an [...]

“The Beacon of Hope”
Posted in Best Friends, Blink on March 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
‘Tis a long and sullied tale; one full of late nights, molded bread, freezers, flames, Big Red chewing gum, and Aqua Velva. (not to mention a most unfortunate Santa Clause) And, truth be told, it really has nothing to do with the Lorax. “Oh, good, Mr. Grinch, and Mr. Lorax, too.”. Such we’re the roomie’s [...]
Matters of Inches. No one knows.

“It started off as a beautiful day. Then, it all changed“. Such were the words of a colleague late Tuesday afternoon as we remembered the accident on the front of our campus from earlier in the day. We did not know the victim, but grieved for a friend who was involved and for the victim’s [...]
Outlive your life?
Posted in Blink, Christianity, coming of age, erosion on September 22, 2011 | 3 Comments »
“Outlive Your Life”. The latest and greatest book by Max Lucado bears just that title. As we look around Vienna this week, I can’t help but think that being remembered into perpetuity was at the heart of those with money and power over the ages. One of the largest “tourist spots” in Vienna, ironically, is [...]
Beach-combing

Beach combing. It is a lost art, in this era of digital entertainment, marathon shopping, and amusement parks. I have been amazed on the recently completed trip to see how many “attractions” are built on the way to or even on sight at natural beauty destination spots like the ocean shore. Or is it a [...]
Random walks in a purposeful marathon. Just keep singing.

I am preparing to participate in the upcoming OKC Memorial Half Marathon. This will be a first for me. I’ve gone from not exercising in years to participating in two 5k events during the past year, and my training has taken me up to about the 7 mile mark twice in the past two weeks. [...]
Population, me?

The birthday event started in earnest early Tuesday morning. “If you are not growing, you are dying”. Isn’t that what they say? “After dropping the kids at school early, I made a quick Starbucks run before heading to campus for the day. Enroute, the positive encouraging conviction of the radio was there for me. Kudos to Matthew [...]
Yellow(ed) pages

Have you ever had one of those days? If you will allow, let me tell you about part of mine. I believe Albert Einstein was once quoted to say “God is subtle“. That’s a little how today feels. I opened the door this Sunday morning to find a new copy of “the Yellow Pages” sitting [...]
Where moth and dust corrupt

…dust, or rust?…and where thieves break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19) Friday night was family movie night. This go round was “You Again“, a comedic flick about ghosts of your past, high school nemesis, coming back to haunt your existence in your newly minted adult life. The movie had it’s funny moments, but also its [...]
Everybody makes mistakes…

Failure to move to non adjacent lane for an emergency vehicle: that was my crime. The layman’s term for it is sometimes referred to as “failure to yield“. In the immortal words of Hannah Montana, aka Miley Cyrus: Everybody makes mistakes Everybody has those days Everybody knows what, what I’m talkin ’bout Everybody gets that [...]
