Fasting
I was doing some “better eating” research the other day and I stumbled upon a bunch of info about fasting. I started reading and became interested. The Bible talks about fasting quite a bit but I have never felt the inclination to fast for religious reasons. The information that I was reading was specifically in… [Read More]
Workshop
My garage/workshop has been an absolute mess for far too long. A couple years ago when my life got flipped upside down, I stopped caring about it and I stopped doing anything in it except piling more stuff.

Lonely
I work out of my home which is about 1500 miles from the home office. There are times when it becomes rather lonely. This week, one of my co-workers came here to work on a proposal project with me. It was so nice to have some company. Hmm… gotta think about that last statement. Feels… [Read More]
Positive
I don’t know about you guys but complaining comes very easy for me. I caught onto this years ago and have spent a LOT of effort over the years trying to keep it in check – it is not easy. Because of this, I find it very hard to listen to others complain. We are… [Read More]
