Everyone’s smarter now thanks to the internet (or interweb if you prefer). Get what I mean? Don’t know something? Google it. Need an answer? Ask ask.com. Didn’t study for that test? Use google-411 or text someone for the right answer. Okay, that last answer is true, but as a disclaimer it’s not ethical nor do… [Read more…]

I’ve always loved the West. I loved visiting it during vacations as a child, hunting trips as an adult, and the mountains? Please don’t get me started on the mountains. This morning when I left the house it was 18 degrees and the entire front range peaks were plastered in snow. Right now it’s approaching… [Read more…]

A great friend of mine (you know who you are) and I were talking about stereotypes while driving to a hunting spot about a month ago. The conversation stemmed from thoughts we shared about wanting our children to learn to love and respect all people regardless of what color their skin is, how bizarre their… [Read more…]

It seems ironic to me in a world where people lean so heavily on a search for meaning and significance that owning up to publicly expressed thoughts or having the guts to say something to someone’s face is such a rare commodity.

Which word is it for you? Seems like growing up we used to say the word “Supper” around the house. I’m always leery of nouns that can become verbs. Revelation 3:20 was the real deal breaker for me on this one: 20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice,… [Read more…]

In the OLDEN days before running water, indoor plumbing and lights that turned on and off with a switch, towns were established based on one simple question: Where’s the water? Water was and is still a precious commodity, but so much so back then that if a well ran dry, the town would move. It… [Read more…]

DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!! Remember when Mom used to say that? Unfortunately for us we live in a world where the ultimate prize is placed on being the most critical, or having the best sarcastic remark to run parallel with someone who has been put on a platform as a public speaker or a… [Read more…]
