The Joys of Truck Escape Ramps in Real Life Up the mountain we climbed... up ... up... up.  There were these strange little mini roads off to the side of the freeway in many spots as we climbed up and down. Terry said they were called  "Truck Escape Ramps".   "The combination of heavy trucks and highway downgrades has long presented potentially dangerous conditions for truck drivers, other drivers on the road, and occupants of roadside property. The problem of runawa...

Cuter than a Cupcake... From a young age we are constantly trying to gain acceptance and approval.  This seems to shadow us through our lifetime.  It is part of our "ego" that develops at a young age.  Pure joy is found the moment you accept yourself.   Allow yourself to be comfortable in who you are as God created you. You can ...

Personal and precious are our gifts from the Father.  The Father is with us always through the times of darkness in life as well as at the moment you reach the summit's top.  Jesus promises us life  and the gift of having it filled with abundance.  Through His physical healing of the body came forgiveness and grace to the soul.  Perhaps today it is better to seek His Grace before we ...

Stacey was here with Lady L for Easter dinner and our family gathering.  Everyone had left and we were loading the latest and greatest slide show of Lady L  painting and we were just talking. She had been thinking about how every one makes a list of change, new life at the end of the year as New Years rolls across.  She had decided maybe it was more appropriate to do it now.   I agreed with her. I told her now was the time to put it all at the foot of the cross. BU...

Monday I picked up the book  Renovation of the Heart  by Dallas Willard from Pastor Jack at the church.  I had mentioned this book in a prior blog that it really looked good and had pretty high reviews.  On the way home in the truck I was already consuming it. One of the things stuck in my mind from the book and the Bible is Jesus' words, "Those who drink of the water that I will give them will never again be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life." John 4:14 Are you like 'gushing water'?  Are y...
