While living in Center, Texas with my busy schedule, Kensi would many times have to swing my the Sheriff's office to pick me up on the way to Wednesday evening services. On one particular Wednesday evening, I rushed out of the office and hopped into the passenger seat of our mini van as we departed ...

Throwing Rocks
This article was inspired by an incident that happened one Sunday evening following worship services. While a few of us were still lingering and talking with each other, a child (who shall remain nameless, but I will say it wasn't our boys), was playing with a rock that was found outside and cast it...
Act Now!
A couple of weeks ago, while talking with a door-to-door salesman, it struck me as I listened to him how REALLY good he was at his job. Kensi and I had decided to listen to his pitch, and then decide together whether we wanted to spend the money on the product or not. Well, I had my mind made up unt...
Assembly Required
This past week, my wife, Kensi, and I were setting up a slip and slide for the boys. It was a wonderful gift that Bill and Juli gave the boys... however, the gift for US would have been if they would have set it up for us.

Pollay said that he hopped in a taxi, and they took off for Grand Central Station. As they were traveling in the right la...
Are You Plugged In?
If I hand you a cell phone and tell you to “put it on the charge”, what does that mean to you? Well, my 6 year old son, Ayden, had a different idea. This past week I found one of the cellphones that he & Jaxon play with lying under the couch and I told Ayden to go and “put it on the charge” sinc...
Walking Out
I have heard and read a lot over the years of people “walking out”. There have been parents who have walked out on their children, children who have walked out on their parents, spouses walking out on the other, employees walking out on their employers, etc. I have heard it, I have read it and it se...
