Alas, I’ve been too busy of late to post to my blog here. But today Chris Cree of HighCallingBlogs.com sent out a newsletter that mentioned a very interesting group writing project that they have started called: What is the Strangest Job You’ve Ever Had?
I’ve read Mark D. Roberts (Lessons From Odd Jobs) on his [...]

I’ve not had time to post lately because the company I have worked for for seventeen years in Tucson was acquired and the new owners recently announced plans to relocate us to the San Jose area. Each employee has a limited time to decide if we will accept their relocation offer and that means I [...]

I went hiking at Gates Pass in the Tucson Mountains west of downtown Tucson on the weekend. The weather was beautiful, although not too many flowers were out yet at this location.
I climbed up the steep mountain slopes where there are no trails, as I did when I first arrived in Tucson back in 1978.
This [...]

Here are two more photos I took while in Hawaii. I also hope to take some pictures tomorrow of the wild flowers in Tucson, perhaps near Picacho peak, as they say they are the best we’ve seen in the last ten years.
So stay tuned…

These are two more pictures I took of the snow that fell on Tucson last week. The first one is looking into Ventana Canyon with the Ventana Canyon Resort at the bottom. The second photo shows a panoramic view of the Catalina mountains with the Ventana canyon on the right side.

Many have grown up believing that Christopher Columbus was vindicated in his discovery of the New World that proved the world was round and not flat. Ships do not fall off the edge of the world as many feared they would, and Columbus proved he was right and they were wrong.
Or did he?
Apparently, we have [...]

I liked the spiral of this tropical plant we saw while in Hawaii.

Needless to say, I don’t see this much moss growing every day in Tucson. This photo was taken on our recent trip to Hawaii.

Three years ago, I bought my first ever vanity license plate for my car. It reads: “SET FREE”.
Set free from what you ask? Well, primarily set free from being obese, but also set free from credit card debt. Basically, in June of 2003 I weighed in at about 390 pounds. Two years later, eating a [...]

I was looking through some photos of a hike I did last year and saw this picture of some wild desert flowers. These were found in Pima Canyon in the Catalina mountains on the North side of Tucson.

I took this picture last Spring in our backyard. The roses were in full bloom for my daughter’s wedding!

This is the flower that blooms on the Saguaro cactus, taken during a hike here in Tucson. The flower is the state flower of Arizona.

This was another flower we saw on our trip to Hawaii in December.
We’ve heard a little of the crisis going on in Kenya, but this report from a Seventh Day Adventist university in Kenya really makes it clear how serious the situation is over there. It’s amazing to hear this kind of report from Kenya, which has been one of the more stable African [...]
Yesterday, I talked a little about how our worldview can effect our politics, but our worldview also effects our daily lives. This is because our worldview shapes our attitudes and perspectives on life.
What is your attitude on life?
For me, I think Christians should have a fantastic perspective on life, if only because our God [...]

My wonderful wife Ann and I are off to Hawaii to celebrate 25 years of marriage. Thus, I will be taking a break from posting to this blog, but while I’m gone, take a chance to read some of my previous posts, and if any interest you, how about leaving a comment, or even telling [...]
Are you addicted to something? Most everyone is addicted to something. I was addicted to food for years. Make that, I AM addicted to food, but I have learned that I can control that intense craving I have for food.
There are many types of addictions, but in my view, people can be addicted pretty quickly [...]
The Bible is God’s word to us, but it is also a story of those throughout history that God has used. These people in essence stepped into His-story, the story God has been writing for all these millennium. How would you like to step into God’s story as well?
Well the amazing thing is we can. [...]
