Thanksgiving: Day 2
It’s a good thing to do, to stop and think of what you’re thankful for. Today as I ponder what I am thankful for, I take a drink out of the tumbler of water right in front of me. And I realize that’s it. That’s what I’m grateful for today. It may seem like aContinue reading “Thanksgiving: Day 2”

It’s almost Father’s Day, but don’t worry. I’m not going to use my blog to give you advice on how to be a great father. As a dad, I’m all too aware of my shortcomings.

What, Me Worry?
“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?” — Jesus. I realized a few nights ago that I am a worrier. I may not come across like one. I’m a generally positive person, I have a lot of joy, and I find much pleasure in simple things. But I worryContinue reading “What, Me Worry?”
