Lately I have taken up the habit of walking a couple times a day while at work.  They have a walking path around a couple of small ponds at the building.  It is a great way to revitalize myself, get the blood moving again, and improve even my outlook when it is not quite as it should be. &...

Sent to me by one of my students in youth group.  Modified slightly by me. Think about...If I showed up at your door crying, would you care ? If I called you and asked you to pick me up, would you come? If I had one day left would you be part of that last day? If I needed a shoulder to ... [More]

Did you know that over 30% of American's are obese with over 20% of children in America having a weight problem.  It is "growing" problem, pun intended.  Diets don't seem to be the answer.  If they were, then we would all be able to loss weight.  So how come som... [More]

Normally I'm not one to complain, but right now I am just worn out.  I went back to work today after being off for the last 7 weeks (a story for another time).  I was not very happy with my JOB when I left and I am even less happy with it now that I am back.  It's not so muc... [More]

Ever want to look at the World differently?  Get a new perspective of the World?  Maybe change you mind by viewing things from an odd angle?  Me too. All this said just to say I am going to be redesigning the site a bit.  New layout and style and all.  It starts, well now.&n... [More]

So (I say sheepishly walking in the room), yeah.  Well, you know the holiday's and all.....Ok, I am making excusses yes.  This week there were no inches lost and 2 pounds... gained.  Yeah,  I got off this weekend and ate too much, well, junk food.  Sure I can blame the h... [More]

Do, a deer, a female deer, re, a drop of golden sun....No, I'm not loosing my mind (not yet at least), just this little tune has been running through my mind the last week or so.  Isn't it amazing how catchy simple things like this are?  Row, row, row your boat, gently down the str... [More]

Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily I... [More]
