• About Bruce

    A web programmer by day, I somehow still spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, God, and the significance of grace and love in daily events. I am old school in the sense that I believe in the reality of sin, and in the need of each human heart for deliverance to the Divine. I am one of those who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that you can find most answers to life's pressing issues in Him and His Word, the Bible. I ain't perfect, and a lot of the time I ain't good, but by God's grace and kindness, I am forgiven and free.

    In Chicago: Phil’s Bed

    by  • September 11, 2022 • Roadies • 0 Comments

    About 8:30 last Sunday evening, I was weaving my way through other walkers on Wacker Drive- which, as a riverfront path, is arguably one of the busiest pedestrian routes in Chicago on a summer weekend evening- when a long-haired and bearded young man in a canvas jacket and blue jeans strode passed me, speaking...

    In Brief: A Visit to Chicago

    by  • September 8, 2022 • Roadies • 0 Comments

    Earlier this year I decided I wanted to return to Chicago and, once a resident long ago, spend some time in the city strictly as a tourist. I was grateful that I could take time off last week to do it (note to self: planning ahead is a good thing). I ended up flying...

    Too Many Billy’s

    This evening, for birthday 54, I went over to my folks’ house and ate dinner with them so we could watch the Cubs play- the second game of a double header in which they would lose both games. Later in the evening, after the baseball flop, we sat and talked a bit. “Do you...

    Day Trip: Nambe Lake

    by  • July 8, 2022 • Roadies • 1 Comment

    Traditionally, each July 4th, I’ve found myself yearning to get out and find somewhere to visit or a trail to hike. This year was no different, except I am not sure of the mental state of this docile midlifer on Independence Day when, on Monday morning, I arose fairly early, wavered a while about...

    I enjoyed going to dinner with my parents tonight. Olive Garden is always enjoyable, if anything for the salad. But it is also time out with Mom and Dad. We chit-chatted on a myriad of things, and somehow wandered across old movies and TV shows, and that led me to mention that Cindy Williams...

    Pow Wow

    by  • April 30, 2022 • LifeStuff • 0 Comments

    The Gathering of Nations Pow Wow, perhaps the premiere intertribal assembly for North American Indians, reconvened this weekend here in Albuquerque, and for me it was a first time to attend this event. I basically entered Tingley Coliseum and made like a paparazzi, hovering near the main floor (like Tim P. would do) and...

    I was visiting YouTube the other night to browse some videos on landscape photography- like I frequently do when I am looking for some motivation or inspiration- and I can across this guy and this particularly encouraging video. Pat said, basically, “I’m a systems guy and I’ll give you 4 suggestions to help you...

    the secret to doing better is to look where you are look where you are and decide where you want to go if it is higher, go up if it is lower, go down if it is back, go behind if it is forward, take a step you will have moved to not stay...
