Lucky Dorito

Right now, I’m off enjoying myself with Lena…. doing some Christmas shopping and feeling pretty good. But, earlier this week…. actually as recent as yesterday morning – I was a bit of an emotional wreck. There is really no good reason for it – this has just been a long week. We were on the [...]

Saturday was a perfectly beautiful day. We loaded up the dogs and went out to the lake for some walking around. It was fantastic. I’m so glad we were able to get out and enjoy it.

When I travel out of town for work, I always bring home something for my daughters. Usually a t-shirt from the place I’ve been and sometimes something else, also. The girls love it and can’t wait to see for me to unpack so they can find out what treat they got! I try to find [...]

Dear Mr. Lucky, It’s hard to believe it’s been FIFTEEN YEARS since we stood in front of our family and friends, in the presence of our Lord, and exchanged our vows of commitment to each other.

(It’s officially called a Sports Medicine Symposium) He recruits all the speakers and does a lot of the [...]

This Father’s Day, we find ourselves in Texarkana, Arkansas in a surprisingly beautiful and BIG room at a newly opened Best Western. (Big as in – we wouldn’t even have to rearrange to fit in the air mattress so that 6 of us can share a room as we did in San Antonio when Shannon [...]

There is definitely something that borders on awesome to find yourself in the quiet of nature, with nothing but chirping crickets and tree frogs making noise and the bright star-lit sky overhead. It’s the hours of preparing (finding your camping gear from years gone by, purchasing new camping gear to replace the lost items or [...]

Isn’t it amazing to stop and think of all the things you use your hands for during any given day? You touch doorknobs and hairbrushes and dishtowels and soap. You sort laundry, you fold clothes, you put them away in the drawers. You cook dinner, set tables, and do dishes. At work, you answer phones [...]
