Giving Thanks for Cyber Monday

I know, Thanksgiving would have been a much more appropriate time for a blog message... but I was working on Thanksgiving Day and was kind of bummed about that and didn't really feel very thankful about it. Looking back though, it wasn't so bad... way better than last year, which was the worst Thanksgiving of … Continue reading Giving Thanks for Cyber Monday

Lost Sheep

I've been pondering a new theory as of late, and after last night it has jelled in my mind and I think it is high time to put it down on the old electronic paper. I call this one the Lost Sheep theory, which could also probably be called the separated sheep theory but lost … Continue reading Lost Sheep

End of Summer 2016

The annual mass migration out of the mountains on Labor Day is in full swing... Thousands of cars, RV's, and camper trailers streaming out of the mountains on their journey back to the cities. Can't say I'm sorry to see them go. I know they are supposed to be good for business in the state … Continue reading End of Summer 2016

Peace

Today in my walk through the woods with the doggies, I pondered a question posed to me, “How can there ever be peace”, in reference to the chaos which has beset my life as of late. Peace is of course a good thing, something that should be sought by everyone. I even had a wise … Continue reading Peace

God Wouldn’t

Every once in a while when I'm out hiking on the mountain the answer to some perplexing question will come to me and I feel compelled to write it down. Here's something I've come across lately... the God Wouldn't people. Was trying to put a finger on something I've been encountering lately. I was called … Continue reading God Wouldn’t

What’s Wrong With This Picture

CNN has recently written a blatantly disingenuous article, claiming Neo Nazis march in Sweden, possibly the most peaceful country in the history of the world. The article describes what is obviously a black woman standing in the face of a demonstration of the Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM), which wikipedia describes as a violent political movement … Continue reading What’s Wrong With This Picture

Teach Us to Profit

Again today I awake early in the morning just as I did yesterday, stunned that it is possible to feel so terrible so early. It has been a long dry spell in the picture taking business, so many miles on the trail with so little to show for it. I have heard it said many … Continue reading Teach Us to Profit

Alone

Alone is a funny thing, it isn't always the same. I've never had a problem with being alone, I'm at peace with myself and it is what it is. With that type of alone you can just head out into the woods and experience the comfort of nature, or you can head across the street … Continue reading Alone

Animals in Heaven

This is a question that comes up often for animal loving believers. Having read the Bible from front to back more than a dozen times I can say with certainty... it doesn't say one way or the other. But of course, the absence of a definitive answer from scripture that doesn't mean that it isn't … Continue reading Animals in Heaven

Dust in the Wind

Five days to go before I have to be out of this place and the donation truck is coming today to lighten my load. Over the last couple of weeks as I have been packing, donating and preparing to move out, I am intrigued by the perceived value of things. When we were younger we … Continue reading Dust in the Wind
