Do You See The Glory?

If you enjoyed the Cone on the Throne, I think you’ll like this one as well.  Not too long ago, Jaxon and I were in Family Christian Store in Cedar Hill, doing a little shopping.  Jaxon decided he needed to use the restroom.  For their public restroom, it’s a small, single multi-gender restroom, on the [...]

Ever been intensely focused on watching TV, and dropped an M&M on the floor.  So you reach down to pick it up (within 5 seconds), without losing focus, and put it back into your mouth… only to realize what you put in your mouth was not what you dropped?  Me neither.

This is hilarious. Abraham Piper (son of John Piper) is trying to get his young son, Orison to say Barak Obama for a video he was trying to film for his blog, 22 Words. He’s a trooper.

I was at CiCi’s pizza buffet recently (no jokes please). I won’t name where, but it was not in Waxahachie. I was standing in line to pay at the counter, and in this location, the line extended alongside several tables behind a short wall. I’m just looking around as I’m waiting, and [...]

As I wrote in the previsiou entry, Cowboys Don’t Dance, Jaxon was a Sheriff this year for Halloween.  We went to his school fall festival last Saturday afternoon.  He had a lot of fun playing just about every game there, and doing a couple big bounce houses.  He also got into a boxing ring with [...]

Jaxon was invited to a dance recital/Halloween party this past Wednesday night.  One of Jaxon’s female classmates at school is in dancing, and she could invite one friend to take with her to her dance recital/Halloween party… and she asked Jaxon.  We were very proud parents that she would invite him, of all the kids [...]

Just recently, I’ve learned a few lessons that I probably should pass along.

Keep your tools clean - If you let your tools get dirty and rusty, when you try to tighten up an exterior faucet, and the wrench slips and smashes your hand putting a deep gash in it, you will have to get a [...]

I decided to do some research on my one claim to “fame”.  My 2nd year of playing baseball at Howard Payne University, we began the season playing Texas Tech in Lubbock, which was the biggest series of our season.  I started the first game at 1B, and their best pitcher was opening the season for [...]

Many of you have probably already seen this youtube video by now of a group called Sonseed singing a song called Jesus Is A Friend of Mine.  If you haven’t, you need to watch it.  It will change your life… most likely.

This video has been shown all over the place recently since it exploded onto [...]

Jaxon and I went to visit a couple of great people and friends on Saturday, Al & Karen Putman.  We drove our Jeep for the first time since I finished the recent work I did on it.  Jaxon always wants to drive the Jeep everywhere we go, but it’s been under construction lately.  When we [...]

I saw something that I’m guessing is very rare this past Sunday at church.  After the worship service, as I’m walking down the hall to get my kid from his class, I see a guy wearing this T-shirt and shorts.  On the front, it said, “got beer?”  Without really processing it yet, I made a [...]

This past Friday, I took my 5 year old son, Jaxon, to the Texas State Fair.  It’s is easily the best state fair in the world, and of course it should be, considering what they charge.  You can easily run through $100 before your first restroom break.  Every food item averages about $4-5 each.  So [...]

If you are under the age of 30, some things you will just have to try to imagine.  Those of us in my generation have gotten to experience a lot of things that you young-uns really can’t even imagine.  Like living without remote controls.  Just think about that.  Our first TV when I was a [...]

This is a follow-up, or Part 2, to this previous post: Do You Ever Wonder? So please read that first if you haven’t already.
I wonder if Jesus ever got sick.  Caught a cold?  If so, do you think he went to a Dr?  Would that be like the cobblers son going to Payless Shoes?
I wonder [...]

I was in the store today and had to buy some sour cream.  As I grabbed it, I glanced down at the price, and noticed that it was on “special”.  Lucky me.  The price sticker said, “10 for $10″.  What?  Who in the world needs 10 tubs of sour cream???  And what if I just [...]

One of the things I enjoy most from my T-Shirt business is the graphic design.  I like trying to be creative, or visualing something in my mind and then trying to put it onto paper… or the computer screen.  My uncle is a talented artist and when I was young, he taught me a lot [...]

When you see one of these clinging to a bathroom wall, no matter how tempting it may be, DO NOT look into it’s hole.  And no, it is NOT a peep hole for viewing into the opposite gender’s restroom.  Just trust me on this one.  I’m not actually sure yet what it is, but it’s [...]

I’ll admit that I really like the old classic sitcoms, even though I’ve seen all of them about a dozen times. But I’ve noticed recently that the days of good comedy are just about gone. Good sitcoms with quality writing are on the verge of extinction, if it’s not already too late. [...]

I just love it when athlete’s tell the truth. It’s always much more interesting then the “we just take it 1 game at a time” cliches. Jared Lorenzen is battling for the 3rd string QB this preseason for the Indianapolis Colts. Of course Peyton Manning is the starter and his long time, [...]

Sounds like a # for a Cal Rip games played streak. Not exactly, he played 2632 games in a row. By the way, Cal’s birthday was yesterday. Happy Birthday Cal! Today was Jaxon’s first day of Kindergarten! And at 180 school days in a year, for the next 13 years, [...]
