August 26, 2025 This poem was written by a former student, Stacy Harless, during a church service, I believe. It makes me proud to have been her creative writing teacher–and happy to be a Christian along with her.

August 21, 2025 “Old age ain’t no place for sissies.” — Bette Davis. Because: 1) I have been benched with rotator cuff surgery for 5 to six months–that is nothing except it’s mine; 2) I have 7 friends who are dealing with different forms and stages of cancer; 3) two of my friends are caregivers 24/7 for their infirm spouses; 4) three of my friends have passed away in 2025; 5) most all of our senior conversation are focused more on health issues than on sports or the weather or God. Life is a journey but it sure ain’t a straight line. Shakespeare called it “…shuffling off this mortal coil.” Be gentle with us, Lord Jesus

September 5, 2025 Like millions of Americans, the start of football season is one of my favorite times of the year. Tonight we have the Cowboys vs. the Eagles with a full slate of games for the weekend. This year I joined two fantasy football leagues instead of one. But God has made this clear: if the result of a game can send me into a cloud of despair; if winning money becomes more important than matching wits with friends; if how my team does affects how I treat other people–that is more than sports entertainment. That is idolatry.

August 22, 2025 In my opinion our democracy is going down the toilet and being replaced by something far less benevolent. I hate it when people try to “christianize” what is happening these days. If I think about it, I become downright depressed. As I recollect I have never done much good for anyone when I was depressed. My Lord tells me to set my mind on the things above. Give me the wisdom and the strength to do that, Lord
