Wow!  We often complain about never having snow here in Oklahoma City.  Most of the time if we do have winter weather, it ends up being sleet or freezing rain.  Yesterday it was a nice 65 degrees and we were really enjoying it.  This morning I woke up at 6:00 AM and it was raining.  [...]

As much as I love my hometown, there is one thing that it really lacks in the winter time and that is color.  As the photo above is in black and white, it is representative of some of the days we have in the winter.  This is Ray Trent park in Del City on a [...]

This morning we rose early to go to Checotah, Oklahoma to visit my father in law.  We had a pretty good time there except that I was a little under the weather.  Early this morning our warm weather came to an end as a cold front came crashing through.  At 4:00 AM a line of [...]

I just arrived home from visiting my dad’s house and we had a pretty good time.  We laughed so hard that I worried for him bursting a blood vessel .  In the above photo, my dad and Retha managed to pull it together enough to answer the cell phone.  My dad was talking to his [...]

This was a day that I have dreaded for a long time though it turned out to be a great day after all.  As you heard earlier we spent Christmas eve and half of Christmas day with Kevin and Jordan.  Later in the day Sunday and I went to the Warren Theater in Moore to [...]

Last night my poor son went out for the first time in the car with his girlfriend and had an accident.  He received his license just last week and failed to yield at a green light on a left turn.  This is what the car looked like after a woman hit him in the side.  [...]

This is a momentous occasion in that I have completed a whole week of work without taking off.  Is that sad or what?  With sickness, and ice storms ruling the day, I have really burned some vacation days.  Today was the last day of work before Christmas.  It is after 11:00 pm and my wife, [...]

If there is anything that really gets to me is the never ending “Happy Holidays” or Holiday this or Holiday that.  It is CHRISTmas!  We do not buy gifts for New Years Day, or Thanksgiving Day.  This is the Christmas season period.  Lets not forget that Christmas is the birth of Jesus.  It has nothing [...]

Psalm 32:9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you. I like to sit on the porch of an early morning. I watch people walk their dogs. Some have a short leash and keep [...]
