24 Hours…

…is one shift at the fire dept. Yesterday was the last shift of 2007 for me. Here’s a peek into that world.

Here’s the crew… training. Yes, training! I know what you’re thinking, but no, that is not a game of Guitar Hero. It’s an exercise in teamwork… relying on each other to meet a common [...]

Maybe…I don’t know?

I found this little nugget in the comments section of this post over at Letters from Kamp Krusty.
Do I encounter people who worship scripture?
Heck, yeah. All the time.
They won’t say, “Hey, I worship the Bible,” obviously. But they’ll make it an idol. They’ll claim that it is a repository of all truth. [...]

An attempt to keep my 2 readers interested

Still here!!
But feeling unmotivated, uninspired and….
mostly,
just lazy.
Maybe its the after-feasting-bliss. Too much food the last few days.
Not to mention, this month – 1 basketball team party, 1 cookie decorating party, 3 days of Christmas, 1 daughter’s 10th b-day and we still have a New Year to bring in.
At least my work schedule allows me [...]

My Dad’s Better Than Your Dad (updated)

Thought everyone might like to see the train in motion. Enjoy….

Did you notice the proud papa watching?

Another fun view….

I know, I know….too cool!!
 

Lucky Me!!

Need I say more….

HELP!!!

When she was about 4, at a wedding rehearsal dinner, we found her dancing the night away…..on a pole. That is, when she wasn’t dancing on the table. That was my first hint that this one was going to be different.
Recently, she has rediscovered the joy of performing in front of others. Thankfully it’s school [...]

Goose Bumps

Call me a dork, loser or whatever, I don’t care. Goose bumps shoot across me every time I listen to this….

 
It’s the singing talent, that many people becoming one and the song I sang as a kid. Did you notice the after effect at the end? The performance is over and [...]

church talk

The following statement was made by a friend during an on-line conversation about Church. I’ve revisited the conversation several times lately, because many statements within that conversation are worth revisiting. This one nails my current frustrations with, not any one particular church but, the Church in general. At least, what I’ve been exposed to.
Oh, [...]

My Dad’s Better Than Your Dad

What do you see? An engine, a coal car, a caboose….a train, right? Well, not me. It’s a train, I know, but that’s not what I see. I see the coffee can and cup as smoke stacks, the tennis ball containers doubling as piston cylinders, the light bulb socket for the whistle, and an [...]

Panama’s Revenge

I’m sure it was a mere coincidence that this restaurant, 30 minutes out of the way, was the one recommended when I asked a local for a good place to eat.It had nothing to do with the fact that our girl’s basketball team had beaten up on theirs. And when I say, “beaten up” [...]
