Life can be amazingly hard. ‘Ah, Mark, duh?’ No, seriously. I am not sure any of us know, when we start out, how hard it will be. We hear being a Navy SEAL is hard. When we get married, we say a vow of for better or worse and at a young age and have a beautiful partner standing across from us, of course we are going to say ‘yes’ when the minister asks us if we will take that...

IT’S A WAYS AWAY It’s about 102 miles according to Map Quest. There are two routes, one inland and one closer to the sea. They probably took the inland route. Historians feel pretty comfortable it was this time of year. Which means it was cool days and colder nights. The history reports don’t say they went with anyone, but they probably did. There was safety in numbers, especially if between the two of you one of you was so pregnant... Read more
SOMETIMES…. Sometimes, you just let the ones you care about, are compassionate about—sometimes you let them have the warm spot. You hang on to your fourteen and a half inches as long as you can, shoving your legs back under the covers and the body on top of them after you make the mistake of getting up and going to the bathroom, only to come back and find out your beach...

Williams/ Chef prep SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR I woke up early this morning—very early, even for me. I laid there and faked it for a bit. Checked Tik-Tok for dogs talking like humans, tried to go back to sleep until one of my dogs, who thinks their human, jumped up to share my warm spot. I laid thinking about the timing for today. Where do I have to be, what do I have to bring. Just... Read more
Sometimes in this life, well, I would venture to say most of the time in this life, we have no course in which we are in control of. Read more
SOMETIMES…. Sometimes, it’s okay to turn the car radio off and talk to yourself. Sometimes, it’s okay to talk about what you would say to several world leaders if you had 30 minutes with them. Sometimes, it’s okay to play like you’re a fighter pilot on the freeway, listening to Danger Zone or Life is a Highway and machine gun or sidewinder missile stupid drivers. Sometimes, it’s okay to climb a tree when you’re old like you did when you... Read more
GOD HEARS US God hears every word we ever say. He knows what we are going to say, before the universe became a universe. God hears every prayer. He tells us to ask for it in ‘His name,’ and it is done. UNLESS…. Unless, it’s going to do us or someone else harm or is not part of His ‘Plan’ for us. Pretty simple rules, actually. Like any Dad who wants to make their family and kids happy,... Read more
WAS JESUS A CHRISTIAN? I heard this question more than once. Was Jesus a Christian or a Jew? maybe more accurately, was he a Christian or a Hebrew? But we want to compare today’s terms, since there was no such thing as a Christian in about 33 AD, but there were Hebrews, believers in, at that time, the Torah, let’s keep apple comparison with, well, other apples. We can do the same thing with Martin Luther. Was he a Christian... Read more
