Thankfulness: From Sentiment to Reality
Posted: November 26, 2008 in Culture, Family, Friends & Family, TheologyProclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds. Psalms 26:7 (ESV) What many of us consider as gratitude in our hearts is only sentiment. Gratitude must be verbalized for it to become Thankfulness. Telling God and others how grateful we are to them moves our gratitude from a potential into the domain of reality. [...]
My First 100 Friends on Facebook!
Posted: September 8, 2008 in Culture, Friends & Family, TechnologyI know 100 friends on Facebook is not a big deal to you guys who have 500 fb friends, but it’s significant for me. First of all I’d like to thank all of the “friends” who made this possible. If it were not for you I’d be virtually friendless, like those other online losers who [...]
Favre may not have retired, but I did on a November Friday night in 1991. For all of those who have played the game and loved the game, it changes your life. I wasn’t that good; I made up for my lack of size with a lack of speed, but I truly loved it. {Pictured [...]
The truth is that only God can do that. While we are commanded to forgive those who have sinned against us (Matt 6:12), we are never commanded to forget. Only God can choose to never remember.

It comes with one steering-wheel which is pretty sturdy (remember it’s only [...]
Seventeen years ago today, a goofy teenage boy went out with a group of friends. One of these friends was a beautiful girl that the boy secretly had a crush on. The boy got up the nerve to hint around that he “had a thing” for this girl. What followed has been five years or [...]
We took the kids fishing at David and Carolyn Bobinger’s house on Saturday. I meet David in 1995 when I started to work for MPC. He had the cube with the view facing the Gulf. Dave would always stare out across his cup of coffee, looking out at the ocean and he would act as [...]
New Years Day a friend and Elder Deacon in our church died while having his quite time with the Lord. The next day a high school friend’s mother passed away from liver cancer. We went to the funeral on Saturday. On Thursday Lizzy’s gymnastics teacher informed us that he had cancer and would be closing [...]
I found a great website for Christmas Party games. The site is http://www.partygamecentral.com. Last year we played the Human Christmas Tree game (see photo above). It’s a lot of fun and everyone can participate. We had our Bible Fellowship Christmas party last night at this cool place (Thanks Cat!). We played several games, but the [...]
