So much death …

For 5 days, I have opened my blog with every intention of writing. I have stared at the blank page, not really knowing what to write. How do I begin to even tackle what has been on my mind? I mean, I didn't even tell my wife about it until just a couple days ago. … Continue reading So much death … →

Just Running in the Rain

I shared this on my Facebook page today, and thought it worthy to share as a short blog entry. I had a doctor appointment this morning. There were some sprinkles and rain showers on the drive there, but they had pretty much stopped when I arrived. They must have been busy, as I didn't end … Continue reading Just Running in the Rain →

Tympanostomy Success!

Thursday we were up early and took Ella in for her surgery. She had her Tympanostomy (the fancy medical term for "tubes in the ears") done and it was a success. It was probably the fastest surgery I ever waited through! Sam got the call Wednesday night that the surgery was scheduled for 9:40 Thursday … Continue reading Tympanostomy Success! →

“I’m sorry, baby”

There are things that you do as a parent that you hate, but you know you have to do them. With my boys, I was always the one who took them to get their shots. There is no worse feeling as a parent than having your child look at you as you hold them down … Continue reading “I’m sorry, baby” →

Be careful for nothing …

I needed to read this verse tonight. The Greek word translated "careful" in verse 6 is (μεριμνάω) merimnáō. It literally means "to be anxious" or "to be troubled with cares." Anxious is defined: experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. So the verse is saying "Don't be … Continue reading Be careful for nothing … →

Song Draft 2021- Round Four Pick – Misery by The Dynamics

As the Song Draft continues, this is one that was on my list, and then I removed it. Then, while listening to my iPod, I decided it was too good not to include it. Once again, it has Detroit roots. This song was also on the list of songs my dad wanted me to record … Continue reading Song Draft 2021- Round Four Pick – Misery by The Dynamics →

Baby Waves Hello

For the first time in months, I got to accompany Sam to her OB/GYN appointment today. Up until just recently, they were only allowing the patient into the office. As I mentioned in a previous blog, the pregnancy has been a bit rough on Sam. I have hated not being there for support. I have … Continue reading Baby Waves Hello →

The Countdown Has Begun

Technically we are about 8 weeks away from the arrival of our baby boy. He is due on October 13th. I have a feeling, though, that he will be arriving earlier than expected. I have to give major kudos to my wife. Sam has had a very difficult time with this pregnancy, I won't go … Continue reading The Countdown Has Begun →

Color My World!

This is some sort of new trend I guess - Adult Coloring Books! They have been around for a bit, but recently at the store, I saw an entire rack of them - FOR ADULTS! Supposedly this is a big way to reduce stress. I used to love to color as a kid. I had … Continue reading Color My World! →

My First Date

I tend not to use daily writing prompts, as many of them I find silly or just stupid. However, every once in a while, one will come in the email that makes me go "I haven't written about that" or "That might be fun to write about." Today, the prompt was "Do you remember your … Continue reading My First Date →
