Hey friends, California, Texas, Arkansas, Virginia, wow, you guys, I’m happy to see you visiting again! Do you remember Plucky Duck from Tiny Toon Adventures? One of my favorite episodes of his is with the elevator, “No you push the button, I push the button. I push the button. Not your turn, my turn. I push the button.” And after his mom sweetly says,…
Hey friend, It’s been a while. Fortunately, or unfortunately, my schedule has changed, so, for now, I am putting a pause on my visits to Dr. M. However, it’s only a pause. But I do want to tell you that I dreamt of her again. It was a few nights ago, and I haven’t been able…
Hey friend, To my new friends in Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Hi and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve had such a heavy heart lately, and so I’ve been staying away from writing.

I find myself impatiently waiting for the “better” to arrive. I can’t seem to shake the word “neglect.” The logical part of me…
Hey friend, I have two words: psychological warfare. My initial thought was, ‘Dang, these people from Nineveh are something else!’ Out of curiosity, I dug a little deeper to figure out if King Sennacherib lived before, during, or after Jonah. Because this is the same Nineveh that Jonah went to preach repentance to, but did…
Hey friend, Have you ever seen videos on YouTube that show Marines in training? Yesterday, one was suggested to me courtesy of a YouTube algorithm. And this one was crazy! The Marine had his hands tied behind his back, and he was underwater. I held my breath as he jumped in and out of the…
