Woodpeckers are unique!

Unique creatures Woodpeckers…are a unique bird to say the least. So many species. There are eight in North Texas. Recently, a redheaded woodpecker decided to form his nest in our oak tree out back. For about three weeks, every time I went out I could hear the rat-tat-tat of his beak drilling a hole in […]

Generations

The important of ancestors Generations… can be defined in several ways. One would be a body of living beings constituting a single step in the line of descent from an ancestor; or a group of individuals born and living contemporaneously. So many people trace back their family tree for decades, even centuries. My wife, Joanne, […]

Two Questions

Questions I have two questions for you. Seems like an easy enough exam. But each question counts 50% so you can’t miss one and pass. Doesn’t seem fair, but I am making the rules. Our granddaughter, Annie, is taking two final exams Monday and Tuesday this week. She is in nursing school in Arkansas and […]

Whose lens are you looking through?

Whose lens are you looking through? An interesting question, don’t you think? Some are more powerful than others. When you go out on a clear night and look at the stars or moon with the naked eye, you see limited detail. It’s beautiful and amazing, but there is more to see. You could grab your […]

Selected Proverbs put you and the kids through exercises in wisdom, morals, ethics, discipline, perseverance and more – in a way that’s a lot more fun than it sounds.

Legacy

A gift by will Legacy…is defined as a gift by will, especially of money or other personal property; something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past. Of course, it can go way beyond tangible assets. As I was pondering this subject, Arthur Wood, Jr., the 2019 Abiding Fathers’ Legacy award recipient, now 100 years […]

Sickness or wellness?

COVID-19 Sickness…is the very opposite to wellness. It seems that doctors are more trained to deal with sickness than to address wellness that might delay or actually prevent any future maladies. I’m grateful for the medical profession in America. What would any of us do without proper medical treatment? Right now during this pandemic, these men and […]

Personal promises from God

A promise “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my […]

Peace among turmoil

Mourning doves Peace among turmoil…is a state of mind we all attain to, at least a Believer. Since we are in the mist of shelter in place in our city and nation, I have begun to walk a mile and a half every morning in our neighborhood. Most of the time I am praying for […]

Three Little Words

Words with substance Three little words… but yet so powerful. What three words came to mind when you read the first sentence? And what makes them so full of power? Words are just words, aren’t they; that is until you find what has gone on before they were written or spoken. Many of us have […]
