The moon Just look at this full moon which appeared a few days ago. Could not resist taking a photo. You know it has been suspended there for thousands of years, ever since the fourth day of creation. And while it rules the night, it has no light of its own. Man has always been […]
Freedom and liberty “Give me liberty or give me death.” No middle ground in this statement. This is attributed to Patrick Henry when he addressed the 2nd Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. Henry was credited with having swung the balance in convincing the convention to pass a resolution delivering Virginian troops for the revolutionary […]
A new thing Who doesn’t like to experience something new, different? Might be a job, home, auto, church, set of friends, whatever, New is most always associated with good. “It’s a new day” or a “new lease on life”. How about, “ring out the old, ring in the new”.

Adventure Have you ever been on an excursion, maybe a cruise or safari, not having ever seen what you are experiencing each day? Most are magical, some even breathtaking.

The magic message It’s never too early, or too late for that matter. But, the earlier the better. Some things you as a dad should possibly wait to train or share with your children. This is not one of them! It’s a life-changer for the recipient and for those who will be impacted by them […]
Power lifting The older I get the less weight I can lift. Never was a ‘strong man’. I lift weights now to keep my muscles toned, what there is left of them. And I sure never could lift huge weights over my head. Some guys at the gym amaze me doing the power lifting. And […]
The elements Recently, in Dallas, we had a cold snap with temperatures below freezing. To some parts of the country this would seem like an Indian summer. Most of us who have plants that would possibly freeze covered them with something. It seems to work, protecting then from the direct freezing air or rain. While […]
Foundation problems The lady who just bought the house next to us required a foundation company to correct and stabilize her foundation. Minor, but yet necessary. Foundations are a real problem in parts of the Dallas area. Seems the soil has never fully stabilized, so special designs are required. I have heard of house foundations […]
