That famous mantra of real estate agents - "location, location, location" - has been around a long time. Whether business or home, the location matters. Close to high traffic areas for businesses, close to schools or groceries for homes (for some people); but it also entails getting into a neighborhood that's considered safe and away … Continue reading Location, Location, Location

Christmas Thoughts
I can't believe it's 2 days before Christmas!! Where did December go? Where did 2021 go?? As a kid growing up on a farm with two older brothers, a dog or two, several cats, milk cows, sheep, a couple of ponies, and a go cart, I didn't know we were dirt poor. I don't think … Continue reading Christmas Thoughts
Clutter
A couple of men were taking their lunch break on the construction site, and as the younger man opened his lunch, he declared "Oh, no, bologna sandwich again!" After this scene was repeated for about 3 days in a row, the older man said "Hey, if you don't like bologna sandwiches ask your wife to … Continue reading Clutter
Trust
Trust. One thing that is earned by responsible, persistent, actions as promised to another. And it’s something very easily damaged or lost. Kind of like a reputation. They often go hand-in-hand, and are nearly synonymous. However, reputation can mean trustworthy, but it can mean NOT trustworthy. Trust is valuable, carrying a weight born out of … Continue reading Trust
Branded
We have all been branded with a “scarlet letter” because of how we look, think, do, and believe. Because I’m a parent, I’m a terrorist. Because I’m white, I’m racist. Because I’m male, I’m sexist. Because I’m old, I’m prejudiced. Because I’m straight, I’m homophobic. Because I believe in Right and Wrong, I’m intolerant. Because … Continue reading Branded

The New “Woke” Salvation Army
Next time you walk by the red bucket attended by a bell ringer, think about this: The Salvation Army now says "...white Christians owe ‘a sincere apology’ to blacks for being ‘antagonistic…to black people or the culture, values and interests of the black community." Folks, there is something terribly amiss with the S.A. leadership. How … Continue reading The New “Woke” Salvation Army
The Lord Is…
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, … Continue reading The Lord Is…
Pleasing God
God is the Most High God. YHVH, the Ancient of Days. Too many times we want Him to please us, and we take it for granted that He is pleased with us. With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I … Continue reading Pleasing God
The Walking Dead
No, not the tv show. (What’s up with the infatuation with zombies??) The other walking dead. Actually they’re not really “dead” as the world sees dead. Paul wrote to the church in Rome: 3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore … Continue reading The Walking Dead
