Low Battery

Last Sunday in church Brenda asked me to look at her friend's cell phone to see a picture of a car.  As she handed me the phone the message "Low Battery, connect charger" was displayed over the car photo.  I suggested to the young lady that her car had a low battery.  She tried to explain to me that her car was fine and the message was for her cell phone.  I'm sure she was wrong, but it's her car.

A sign of the times

I guess it's a sign of the times but I thought it interesting that many of my grandkids greeted me at our Christmas dinner with "Hi Grandpa, What is the WiFi password?"

Simple things of life

When I was 8 or 10 years old, my sisters Connie Shafer Strahl McDill and Cheryl DeYoung would comb my hair without mercy, to get the tangles out. With what little hair I have now, tangles are but a fond memory. I had one this morning though. Thank You Lord for reminding me of the simple things in life and the people who bring me joy, lest I forget!

God's Timing

Autumn is a great time of year... fresh air, beautiful colors, wildlife, and a reminder that God has planned a time of rest, even for the trees.

The other day I sat in my hunting blind as the wind blew 20-40 mph gusts.  Not a hurricane by any means, but with the light rain added, many leaves were falling.  The following morning I was there again but this time the air was still and as the sun began to rise, I also noticed a few leaves falling.  How is it that the leaves falling this morning survived the wind and rain the day before only to fall in the still sunrise of this day.  The only answer, was God's timing.  Thank you Lord for reminding me that you are in control.

If I could do it over

Sometimes we're asked if we would marry our spouse again, if given the option.  Now, after knowing what I do about myself I have decided that I WOULD NOT walk down the isle with Brenda again.  If I had the option, this time I'D RUN!!!

When I was little

We babysat my granddaughter a couple of days ago... who just turned 2 years old.  As she played on my lap, she noticed a picture of herself in our shadowbox on the wall.  She pointed to the picture and said to me "That was me when I was little, grandpa."

Getting Older?

I decided that I must be getting up in years because 'haircut' now includes nose, eyebrows and ears.
