“Das Boot” a/k/a “THE BOAT”

July 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Humor, Perspective, Stories, Tom & Me

Season of Prayer: God, Indeed, Knows The Details

April 26th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Families, Perspective, Reflections, Spirituality, Tom & Me

Tom & I are in a season of prayer for several people very close to us.
Some are family members and some very good friends.  The relationships run together, which is as it “should” be in the life of a Christian, I think.  Don’t you?

Reflections In My Mind

March 18th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Blogging, Humor, Perspective, Reflections, Uncategorized

I want to throw out some of my thoughts today.  These are things I’ve been thinking about of late and things going on that I’d like to get some feedback on, if you will.
