I read the following bible verse: Ecclesiastes 10:2 New International Version (NIV) 2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. and it had me thinking of our political parties. I thought it was a bit ironic that the political parties in this country are divided […]

Traveling to rest
I told my wife I needed to travel for work just so I could get some rest. I was half joking when I said it, but it was the truth. We are supposed to take a Sabbath to relax and recoup, but the past two weeks were extremely busy. Built my son a desk top […]
Wooden Plank
The other day I was routing some wood without glasses and a large wood chip came off and went into my eye. This made me think of the following: Matthew 7:3-5 New International Version (NIV) 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank […]
Justice
I am watching a show called “The Last Kingdom”. The star of the show gets really mad and wants justice. As I am watching the show, I am thinking I too would have wanted justice if what happened to him had happened to me. After this, I started to think was that really the right […]

Her computer which lasted about 3 or 4 years died, more specifically, the graphics card or motherboard died. The cost of that computer was about 400, but […]

Accused of being rude
On my way home the other day, I sat down in my seat on the plane. A few minutes later a man sit down beside me. He wants to put down the arm rest which is fine, but now you have defined the boundaries for our seats and I expect you to stay on your […]
