The Help We Need
If my truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere, I hope someone stops to help. If my back goes out when I have a lot of work to do, I hope someone can help. If I am about to eat something that could harm me, I hope someone lets me know. Basically, if I … Continue reading The Help We Need
How Much Do You Care about Those in Your Life?
If a bridge is out of commission, don’t you want someone to post a warning? If a convict escapes, don’t you want someone to let the public know? If a fire breaks out, don’t you want someone to warn you? We want to know if we are about to face trouble. This Sunday is Palm … Continue reading How Much Do You Care about Those in Your Life?
Discover What St. Patrick’s Day Can Show Us
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope yours is a special one. Honestly, most of us (if we celebrate at all) focus on wearing green, eating corned beef and cabbage, and decorating with leprechauns and shamrocks.

Will the Coal Die Out?
Have you noticed (as I have) something that happens when you grill? I am specifically talking about the coals. You stack the coals and light them.

Did you watch the Super Bowl over the weekend? Many people were hyped up and excited. They talked about it and cheered on. It is a natural thing to do when you are excited.

I Love…
I realize that this is coming out several days before Valentine’s Day, but I wanted to talk about love. No, not necessarily the love on display on February 14, but real love. Most people get a little mixed up on what love is because we use that word for many reasons. We think of love … Continue reading I Love…
Are the Instructions Important?
Have you ever assembled something without looking at the instructions? Typically, it ends in leftover items and a spouse not happy with the results. We do not always want to do things in the way we are told they should be done, but we often follow instructions when we know we should. There are lots … Continue reading Are the Instructions Important?
