Today I was looking through an old wornout song book I picked up a few years ago from a small bookstore in town.  It’s pretty obvious this book was used quite a bit in its day.  The crumbly leather cover is barely hanging on and the pages are a fading coffee-spilled tan.  On the front bottom right corner is [...]

“Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion”  Proverbs 11:22 What a waste!  Pigs don’t deserve valuable gold in their snouts!  They are disgusting obese animals who lay in mud all day continuously making foul noises.  In my opinion, pigs are good for only three things: BBQ, [...]

My heart melted tonight when I was laying down with my daughter before lights out as normal.  I told her how proud I was that she played so well in her soccer game just a couple of hours earlier.  She smiled and then went on about how she wants to try gymnastics next year, and [...]

I try to play golf on Friday mornings at Boiling Springs Golf Course.  My favorite time to play by far is in the early morning when barely anyone is out there, just a few guys on their mowers and me.  Typically I’ll wake up with Christmas-morning-like excitement with my mind rehearsing my drive swing, and this goes on all the way [...]

“Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.  “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”  Matthew 14:31 Was there a better way for Jesus to show his professional fisherman friends who he really was when he easily calmed the open sea?  I mean come on, to say, “Quiet!  Be still!” and [...]

Man, I could not put a round of golf together today to save my life!  I putted well but couldn’t drain them.  My drives were sparatic–ok, they killed my round.  Everytime you see a bogey, it was my driver today.  And there were a lot of them!  Not to mention the doubles and…  I told you I’d [...]

Hey, Jeff and I are playing on Saturday night during WESTFEST in Woodward, Oklahoma.  Would love to see you there!  Here’s the information:

Funny, walking trees. That makes me smile…and think.

I played well today. I hit the ball well. Two shorter drives and one errant drive gave me my three bogies. I was frustrated with no birdies. My putter was decent, but not great. I rolled it well but didn’t read well. Boiling Springs, Woodward, Oklahoma - back nine only today. Par for back: 4 4 [...]

(This is my post today from www.mission454.com, our teen website.) Well, either Jesus is who he claimed to be, or he isn’t.  There are not two answers.  It’s yes or no.  Jesus is Lord or liar. King or crook. Healer or faker. The savior of all mankind or another false teacher. The Great I AM or just a [...]

In this blog you will find pieces of me.  My thoughts about my life, my faith, my family, my passions, my music.  It’s a chance to share with you what’s going on in my world.  You are welcome to join me if you want.  I’ll just be here.  And, when you share, I’ll be there.

Last year I turned to God during some tough times and this song came out. It’s a short hymn that may speak to you in difficult times.

Surely as he paraded out of the house and saw the amazed and awe-inspired looks on the faces of the onlookers, his friends and family, surely he had a smile on his face.
