I just want to wish everyone a happy New Year as the clock strikes midnight.

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.  [...]

It just turned midnight and the neighborhood is loud with fireworks and firearms going off all around us.  I hear horns honking, screaming and all sorts of noises.  After waking at 4:45 AM it has been hard to stay awake throughout the day.  My son is at his girlfriend’s house and we have to give [...]

As I sit here typing this post I struggle to hold back the tears of emotion. My son is sleeping in his own bed here in our home. I never imagined how emotional this would be but this morning I am met with joy, grattitude, and shame for not trusting in God to bring my [...]

Today is our 19th wedding anniversay and I am truly blessed.  I met Sunday in 1988 and we married in 1989 at Life Christian Center, now Eastpointe Community Church.  Sunday is more than one could ask in a wife.  She does things for me without even asking.  I always try to remember to give God [...]

This coming Friday is Independence Day in the United States and by far my favorite holiday of the year.  This is a day where you can just enjoy life and be with your friends and family.  So far Hallmark has not ruined it by making it a gift guilt holiday like Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s [...]

It has finally arrived and I am glad.  We have had a nice day so far but it has a little bit of dread since tomorrow we have to go back to work.  We could not ask for better weather as it is 60 degrees out there and clear.  It looks like a cold front [...]

I know I have posted in the past about this sad topic before but I thought being Christmas eve, it is relevant to mention again. In that previous post, I was angry and was speaking out of emotion. First the picture above is an example of what has always made me proud to live in [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We went to Wynnewood, Oklahoma to my grandmother’s house.  We stopped going to her house before I went into the Air Force because my family always told me that she does not need the noise.  We had a very good time.  I took 157 photos and more than [...]

Today is Veterans Day and in my opinion a very important day.  I spent ten years in the Air Force and my dad was in the Air Force as well.  If you know someone that is, or has been in the military, please let them know how much they are appreciated.  Having an all volunteer [...]
