Unbelievable game tonight between Mizzou and Kansas!  I hope you got to watch it at least.  I really, really wanted to be there tonight but the tickets were $40.  But after seeing the game, it totally would have been worth the price.  Mizzou winning in OT.  A nail-biting end in regulation.  Gardner had a great … Continue reading Go Tigers!

Today was a packed Sunday.  This morning I drove to Montgomery City to preach.  I enjoy going to new areas of Missouri that I have not been before and I enjoy meeting new folks.  It was a nice morning and they were a very hospitable congregation.  The preaching went well and each time is a … Continue reading Sunday PostGame Wrap-up

What a gorgeous winter day!  I love winter days in the 50s and 60s. 🙂 With a warm and sunny afternoon, I played frisbee golf with some friends.  What fun!  I've never played frisbee golf but I do think I could become a big fan.  Actually, anything active and competitive is appealing to me.  Of … Continue reading Golf in January

Ok - now I … Continue reading The Gift of Electricity

Addition to earlier post:  Although I indeed did win one game of racquetball against Dan, I failed to mentioned that I lost four - two of those with skunk scores!  So, Dan, my apologies.  Your athletic reputation is thus restored. 🙂 Today played volleyball for a long time and I'm feeling it in my right … Continue reading Thursday Ramblings

There are times when you know that your day will not be productive.  You just have that feeling, that presence of mind that makes it difficult to get moving or focused on tasks.  Today was one of those days.  I wasted a good portion of the day.  Some would say that is the intent of … Continue reading Making Peace

I spent Monday helping a family move into their new Habitat home.  It was a great day for moving and  we got a lot accomplished by evening.  The house is beautiful and very much theirs.  The kids were very excited about their new home and new rooms.  What a wonderful fresh start and new beginning … Continue reading Moving Day
