Born of Fire
This past weekend I was driving home from a mission of love and mercy... bringing a cat back to his adoring family. My ride up to the Pacific Northwest was filled with a "meow" about every 2 seconds (you can do the math... the cat should have had laryngitis by the time I got there …

This is a little late, but still worth the post . Two weeks ago was Father's day. I don't know about all fathers, but for me, sometimes Father's day can be difficult. I don't live with my kids anymore, and they are grown, living their own lives and stuff. When I do see them I often go through …
Out of all that was said, one thing stuck with me, and continues to ring in my head. My friend said, "I am honored to be the son of my father." Hearing those words stilled me... even reflecting on them now, they still do.
On a very hot September day, my daughter and I made our way to Livermore, Ca. to have lunch with a young woman we haven't seen in a while. Family friend, and one of the people that affectionately calls me dad, she sat in front of us with eyes full of life, story, and of …
So i was talking with my mom today, of course, being Mother's day. Again, she amazed me... I've already bragged that she went skydiving at age 66... awesome... I haven't bragged as much that she was in a TV movie with Pam Dawber, but yes, she was... I remember her taking 2 & 3 jobs …
My weekend was pretty planned out, to the point that I thought I wasn't going to get around to doing a post. I literally had "things to do, places to go, and people to see". Some of my plans fell through, but all in all, it's turning out to be a good weekend. But back …
Yesterday, a friend of mine asked me to go walking. I really didn't want to, cuz I'd have to drive a long way, I'd get there late, blah, blah, blah, but I reluctantly consented. While I was driving there, I suddenly realized something that totally bummed me out... my favorite tv shows were on that …
I called my dad on my way home from work today. I decided that my life wasn't complicated enough, that I would use my only sanctuary (my car) to, not relax and de-stress from the craziness of the day - no, I was going to use that time to catch up on all of …
My daughter just got home last night from being half way around the world on a mission trip. She was so excited! I loved hearing the stories during the ride home. Some amazing things happened on the trip, and at some point I'm sure I will see the 2000 + pictures she took (no fooling... …
Ok, I admit it. I am a technogeek. I've always loved technology, progressive stuph, newer, better faster, etc. I'm a Boomer only by age, but more of a Buster and X-er in personality. I jumped on the online bandwagon with Xanga, then Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and of course, Kid Stuph. I love new stuph... However, …
