Do You See The Glory?

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 [...]

Why does it always take something bad to make us adjust our priorities?  Why can’t we just be going along well, content, and joyful, and keep our priorities in line?  As I sit here in the Emergency Room waiting room at Baylor in Dallas, I’m reminded of several recent happenings in which God is teaching [...]

That would be a great movie title woudn’t it?  I’m not sure who the favorite would be.  I guess it would depend on what kind of super powers Silk Ty had.  Actually, this entry is about my co-workers.  I have some pretty impressive co-workers, and probably even more impressive if you just compare them to [...]

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 [...]

If you are reading this blog, you’re probably an amateur blog reader. Professionals probably don’t care much about what I have to say. I’ve recently just gotten interested in reading other people’s blogs myself. Of course, a year ago, I never understood why anybody would want to write a blog, OR read [...]

Here’s another video that you may have seen, or at least heard about.

When you become a parent, you see a lot of things differently. This is one of those things. If I had seen this during the first 11 years of our marriage, I probably would have thought, “nice story”, and moved on. [...]

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 [...]

Some of you may or may not know it, but Beth and I lived in Michigan for about a year in 1995.  Well, to be more accurate, I lived there for about 11 months and Beth lived there for about 9 months.  She decided to leave early.  I was in training in Detroit, so she [...]

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 think I’m coming to the realization that my oldest son, Jaxon, is going to be the polar opposite of me concerning his behavior in school.  I’m afraid to admit that he looks like he’s going to be that kid in everybody’s class that is known as the crazy one, the class clown.  He’s the [...]

Losing friends really sucks.  I’m sure all of us have had a good friend move away.  I know I’ve had a few close friends that have left.  It feels terrible, much like a part of you has been ripped out and is missing.  It’s bad enough when people leave, but it’s even worse when people [...]

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 [...]

My T-Shirt business has really become a major part of my life.  I’ve often wondered if it’s too much of a part.  Currently, there aren’t many nights that I don’t have jobs waiting on me to complete.  I just recently realized how much I miss having time to do what I want, for me and [...]
