Payday and I Look Forward to Lunch with My Wife … My Wife Was Looking Forward to Dinner with the Family … An Interesting Difference of Opinions

Today was payday and to me that is the one day that I look forward to having lunch with my wife. The reason I look forward to this is because it is the day that we can usually have a mini-date while we go out and eat while the kids are at school.  The other [...]

I Have Had to Claw My Way To a Point Where I Can Barely Make My Bills in an Attempt to Provide a Descent Life for My Family Only to Find My Eldest Child’s College Financial Aid is Suffering

My eldest daughter has been accepted into Baylor University for Music but is not getting the aid she needs to attend. The part that is really hurting is that because of my income and my horrible credit score she can’t get loans either.  It does not take into account the medical bills I have had [...]

I Read Today that God is Hurling Calamity at People … I Am One Hundred Percent Sold on Jesus … But Some Times Christians Really Disappoint Me

I read an article today that claimed that the reason that Moore Oklahoma was hit with a devastating tornado was because America had begun to allow homosexual marriages.  As horrible as this sounds, the article went a step further listing all the natural disasters that have occurred in the last ten years or so and [...]

You Go We Go … Thinking About the Difference Between an Acquaintance and a Friend and a Best Friend

With things being what they are, I have been thinking about the difference between an acquaintance, a friend and a best friend.  And I have been thinking about the fact that according to my definition of each, I want more best friends.  But let me define the terms first. An acquaintance is someone who I [...]

Humbling and Frustrating … Not Able To Do Anything Wears On My Family and I

I want to start by saying that I am very thankful.  I am thankful that God loves me.  I am thankful that I didn’t need surgery on either of my broken ankles.  I am thankful that my work is letting me work from home.  And I am super thankful that my family has rallied around [...]

Love of God … Love is Not Arrogant … You’re Supposed to Love Me Like Christ Loved the Church so Drop Dead

Continuing our study on a the Love of God (see previous posts), I want to focus on the following scriptures from 1 Corinthians. 4 love … is not proud – 1 Corinthians 13:4e Another way this gets translated is “Love is not arrogant” and “Love is not puffed up”.  In short, love is being humble [...]

My Dad Is My Best Friend … Something I Would Have Not Guessed In A Million Years When I Was A Teenager

Yesterday, my father got the chance to go see the movie “Star Trek Into Darkness” (See his review here).  While he was at the movie, he was texting me some of his thoughts (and making me jealous that I am laid up with my broken ankle and not able to see it yet).  I thought [...]

Give the Pat a Snack and He’s Going to Want a Glass of Iced Tea … How My Being Laid Up is Wearing a Little on My Family

With my ankles both broke, I am obviously not allowed to get up and do much.  Basically, I can go from the bathroom to the bed to the chair in the living room and that is it except for the occasional doctor’s visit.  If I try and do anything else, then my wife and kids [...]

Yep It Is Confirmed Two Broken Ankles

I saw my Orthopedic doctor today and he confirmed that I did in fact break my left ankle.  On top of that, I have the exact same break on the left ankle as I did on the right ankle.  I wonder what the odds are of breaking both ankles in the same way especially when [...]
