I’m not a big fan of labels. I have a 68 VW Beetle. Does that make me a “VW Man?”
I have a 2008 Ford Edge. Does that make me a “Ford Man?”
I have been married to the same beautiful women for over 30 years. Does that make me a “One Woman Man?” Okay, I don’t really mind that label… Continue reading
Lanette and I have been married for over thirty years. That’s a long time. In fact, we’ve been alive together longer than we’ve been alive without each other. We have been through a lot with each other. There has been a lot of pain, laughter, sorrow and happiness. She has been by my side through some really dark times. My life would not be the same without her. She is truly the greatest gift I have ever received.
So, of course, I am going to just walk away from her. Oh, I will do it over time, not all at once. I’ll begin by not talking to her as often. I will keep things to myself, enjoying life. I will still talk to her in times of crisis, or when I need her, but I will talk to her less and less, then not at all. Continue reading
Have you ever prayed the Lord’s Prayer? Most people have, or at least have heard it. Jesus told the disciples in Matthew 6:9-13, “Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.” Continue reading
My wife and I took in the California Midwinter Fair and Fiesta last Friday. For those not in the know, the CMF&F (as I like to call it, okay I don’t really call it that, but it’s a lot to type out the other way) is Imperial Valley’s county fair. I have been hooked on the fair since I arrived in Imperial Valley in 1974. When I was in high school it was a great place to talk to girls, and hopefully get a few numbers. It was always weird to me how many girls had the same phone number as a pizza place or some other restaurant. Who knew?
When I got married the fair was (and still is) a good place to show off how blessed I am to have such a beautiful wife. I proudly walk with Lanette all over, hoping that someone I know sees me and notices her. Continue reading
When I became a parent I got a whole new vocabulary. Not just baby goo goos and gibberish, I never spoke that way to my boys. I read Sports Illustrated to Isaac when he was just a few weeks old. No, the vocabulary I learned was phrases I never thought I would hear come out of my mouth. Here are just a few of them… Continue reading
