A few weeks ago Susan and I stayed at a Homewood Suites when visiting with our son James, who is a sophomore at Texas Christian University (currently rated #4 in the college football standings, but I am getting off topic). Since we have currently come up with a newly designed logo (thanks to Keith Klingen […]
So Halloween has come and gone and we are heading full bore into the “Holiday Season”. (By the way, we had just three “trick or treaters” this year…and they were all high school kids! What’s up with that?). Our church is already gearing up: Christmas parties, special events, gift giving ideas, service plans and decorating […]

On the news last night the reporter was interviewing a couple from France who said they were not expecting a snow storm on their visit to New York. Really? What did they expect? In the middle of January people are surprised that there is cold and snow in the Northeast…in New York? You must be […]
The other day when I went to walk the dog it was 1 degree out…that is ONE as in… ONE. And that wasn’t even including the wind chill factor. It warmed up to 3 degrees a while later. Two days later it was a balmy 9 degrees, eventually hitting the low twenties by mid afternoon. […]
This is a plant we call Sandy. The reason is that this plant was outside on our porch in Lavallette, New Jersey, when Hurricane Sandy hit. Although there was damage all around, the plant was still in tact. (It has always had a slight lean to it!). After the storm we brought the plant inside […]
On Christmas Eve I came out of the closet…not THAT closet. I confessed to our congregation that Susan and I have been watching the PBS hit series Downton Abbey.
