    Apple Things and Apple Thoughts

    Here I sit in the middle of an Apple orchard with a million apples and what seems like as many people. Who would have ever guessed that there were so many varieties. Just like people each one comes with it’s own character. Some are hard. Others are soft.  Some were hard but have softened with…

  • my friends birthday

    Today is my friend’s birthday.  I believe he would be 49 today. It’s been almost 32 years since I knelt by his grave and said “so long” to my friend.  Kenneth Booher was a friend to many. He was the quarterback on the high school football team, played baseball, and was active in our church…

    a mission filled life

    What is your mission in life? I’m almost 50 and I still think about my mission in life just as much as I did when I was in my teens thinking about my college years.  Today, I have a lot more experiences to draw from, more hurts, more disappointments, more experiencing the joy of life, and…

  • miracles

    Was Tim Tebow used by God to perform a miracle? Tim Tebow an amazing individual.

    To Lead or to Follow

    What would the direction of our lives be if we focused only on what others wanted and we kept changing direction day after day to follow the current information trend? What kind of legacy will this leave the next generation and where does that leave us?

    belief

    I heard once that prior to the Greeks, the ancient Hebrew meaning of the word implied action, that is, to believe is to act upon that belief with conviction.  Perhaps it was the Greeks who were into arguing about ideas that watered down the word to mean an intellectual conviction.  Today, we “believe”, but we…

  • meaningful relationships

    This morning, I stumbled upon this particular article about social networking.  It basically says that most of our friends on Facebook don’t care about us, or aren’t true friends.  My belief is that there’s a lot or some truth in that statement (prove me wrong FB friends by commenting!), but I think most people would be…

    a new day

    Every day starts with a rising sun.  Some days there’s a strong desire to remain in bed under the warm covers.  On others, I can’t wait to get started and no matter how long I lay there I wouldn’t sleep.  But with the opening of the eyes each morning, there is a realization that I…

  • a new beginning

    a new beginning

    This is a new chapter, literally, not figuratively. This new chapter is a blog about the Way. The only Way. I’m not going to tell you that I know everything about this path or that I know the Way better than the next guy who’s writing. In fact, I question myself, “will there be any that…
