A Prayer For Life to Matter
Heavenly Father this week has been quite an emotional one. Having some playtime with just a few residual effects from the 20 shots and the green food from some very young supposed doctors.

Wow this is another awesome question. Grandma Rosie’s Christmas Ham. We have made this for reunions and at other times, yet no matter what it takes me back to almost every Christmas Eve at her house for the Open House. Family would come in and eat with us all night long. There are memories of…

Who is your favorite historical figure?-Writing Prompt
I love this question, but to pick one out of all history. This needs at least your top 5 at the very least. I would say Christ for the simple poignant reason that he was crucified on a cross to save me from my sins. The historian in me would say George Washington and Artemus…

Everybody has them right? It’s hard to say yeah maybe a few guys in school or characters from the sitcoms we used to watch. I think my real crush was a friend at Fellowship. He was smart, grounded in the Bible and had a love for music. He asked me if I would sing while…

The 2nd Edition: The Hands of My Fathers
Ironically, I had about the same amount of time with Great-Grandpa Arla as I did Grandpa Leo. There was only about a month, give or take a few days up to a week, in between their deaths. It seems that I remember his death just about 10 days after my birthday which would be somewhere…
