    Evening Approaches at Monastery Lake

    Good morning. It was a good weekend, although much of Saturday could be taken off the books. Friday night, Sagebrush Highland had a swim party at the Highland High pool, and we had a great turnout. Games were played, prizes were given, and seven people were baptized. One gal wasn’t even planning to be...

    It was rough getting up this morning at 5:45 when the alarm went off. I was in such a deep sleep and dreaming that it took me a few moments to realize it was going off. Even then, my body didn’t want to move. Kurt, my running buddy, felt the same way getting up...

    Tonight I had great experience with a couple from my small group, and another friend from my dance group and church. I have mentioned the husband of the couple before, but they need a better introduction. Both he and his wife are amazing people. Anyways, they had myself and our friend Gwen over for...

    On Monday night at my small group, we dove in a little into Acts when it was generically asked, “What in your reading stood out to you?” To try and highlight life changing concepts from a summary reading of the 28 chapters of the book is a challenge. Still, some interesting thoughts were shared....

    Tonight was a much more productive night than last night- I actually had some energy. And I felt a little better than this morning. After work, I stopped by Smith’s to pick up some groceries, and ended up with pretty much all fruits and vegetables. After last weekend with all of its sugars and...

    It’s about 10 AM this morning, and I am back at work after an extended weekend. I feel pretty much today like the sky was this morning when I got up: dark, a bit on the cold side, and partly cloudy with a decent chance of precipitation. Sometimes for me, it’s simply a fight...

    Yesterday, my folks, my bro and his family, and myself trekked up to Denver to see our Pummel aunt, uncle, cousins, and our cousin Darci for the weekend (reason forthcoming). The drive up was quiet. Once we got up here, we all collected at Jer and Amy’s and then broke up to run some...

    II • When the Bough Cracked

    by  • August 16, 2012 • 0 Comments

    It’s always a precarious thing to wade back into our memories. When time passes and life batters us by waves of experiences, it’s easy to lose clarity about the things that have happened to us- especially those that happened long ago from where we are now. What we cannot remember clearly, we forget. And...

    SOTD: “What A Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers

    After reading the lyrics, I finally understand this song now. It totally explains to me what happened. “She had a place in his life… He never made her think twice.” Amazing. “A fool sees what he hopes for.” I guess it’s happened a few times in the world before. — “What A Fool Believes”...

    “Never feel self-pity, the most destructive emotion there is. How awful to be caught up in the terrible squirrel cage of self.” ― Millicent Fenwick I am finally admitting to myself that, among others, I have one horrible habit that I recognize I need to get rid of. And it is not my excessive...

    Yesterday was a good day. I got a fair amount accomplished on a project at work, and the day was quiet. My boss has been out this week doing home projects, so it has been more empty back in the back area of the office where I work. I guess the biggest news of...
