Vagabond Blogger Small Group, I’m In
Run’n Like a Vagabond is doing a small group study in James that just started last week and I am going to try and keep up. I am not exactly sure about how all the linking works yet, but I know I can read scriptures, so I should be able to figure the rest out.…

Lopi Wood Burning Stove is Still Burning in April
Wow, today was a busy day of work. I usually wear many “work” hats throughout the day, today was no different, but there was a lot of heavy lifting on my part, mostly from boxes of books. It started off by my normal reading of all my email and feeds from other blogs and as…

Macro Photography of a Spider Web in Morning Dew
Something about spiders and spider webs makes for some neat subjects. Add a little morning mist or dew and they really light up. Macro photography is something I really like as well, and the combination of dew on the web and its size made for a great macro photography opportunity. This image of the day…

Learning Music History Again and Trying to Pick the E Blues Scale
Tuesday’s are busy days around our place. We usually take all our orders from over the weekend in to USPS, which we did today. Deborah packaged up all the book orders, I did all the eBay orders and we made it into town in time for my guitar lesson. What’s in an E Blues Scale…

Lord, Make Me Pure, But Not Yet Says Robbie Williams
I love this line below in the Robbie Williams song, Make Me Pure, from the Intensive Care album. It really speaks to me sometimes. We all want to live pure lives for our Lord, right? So I ask myself if I do, or do I really just listen to the chorus of this song and…

Great Photos Use Contrasting Colors with Flowers and Spiders
In nature photography, one of the best things to find is some subject with contrasting colors. Of course, you are taking about nature, so it isn’t really up to you, but if you can find a contrasting color (that would be red/green, or yellow/black, or blue/green etc), it will make the image pop out. Sometimes…

Ivy Creek Trail in the Colorado National Forest
This image of the day comes from a National Forest trail that is so green during the summer it looks like a rain forest. This is from about a mile or so down Ivy Creek Trail in Colorado, one of many hundreds of images I came out with on this particular day. Walking the Ivy…

Leave the Boat in Orange Beach to Sit in Traffic on I-65
Well, we had to leave the boat and come back home. It was such a great weekend we didn’t want to leave but all good thing must come to an end I guess. It was nice to get back to the house though and take a nice shower and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.…

Dolphins Came to Visit Us and Mate in the Marina
The first time we saw dolphins from right here in our slip Deborah and I were very excited. Now, they seem to be here every time we come, but not like they were today. Today, a pair came into the marina (which is a dead end), went all the way to the end, came back…

Walking on the Beach is My Favorite Exercise
All the bad weather stayed well north of us today and left us with the most beautiful Saturday we could have asked for. Partly cloudy, 82° with a slight breeze, and enough humidity to remind us we were actually on the coast. Probably the nicest weather we have had since Deborah and I started coming…

The Church Body and the Internet, Part 1
The question about interactions between the Church and the Internet came up recently so I wanted to touch on a few basics of this topic. I am going to post several parts to this topic over the next month or two, so I consider this to be an introduction to the topic itself, not a…
