The beach holds a special place in my heart, because that is where I saw Jesus.  Now, I know you may think I am probably off my rocker, but I saw Jesus in a dream; however, was it a dream or reality?  All I can say is that I have never experienced any thing more Read more

It has been approximately twenty-two years since I have been on a bucking bull; I admit I miss it.   I miss the feeling, the adrenaline, and those starry nights in the middle of nowhere.  I also miss the days of riding horses with Pop.  I will tell you how I became an experienced rider: the Read more

I suppose we all have made mistakes when we were fifteen years of age; at least, I did.  I made a very bad decision when I was fifteen.  Pop used to let me drive the car around the campground at Lake Gaston in Virginia.  He trusted me because I guess I was a decent driver, Read more

I know it has been a while since I have posted an entry; while I doubt any of you are losing sleep over this, I have to say it is tough to think of things to write about, and sometimes it is just plain agonizing to even ponder some of the topics that cross my Read more

What is more majestic for a kid than having a relationship with their dog?  To have a faithful companion that shows unconditional love and is always there for you is everything.  Well, that was the case in the 1970’s when we kids used to run around outside all the time; for my brothers and me, Read more

The world lost a great mind today, Dr. Stephen Hawking, died at the age of 76.  Hawking was physically disabled by “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis”(Lou Gehrig’s Disease.)  What constitutes as a great mind, however?  Personally, I believe when someone has contributed to society and made society better for doing so, that someone probably has a great Read more
