History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.  Eccl 3:19 (NLT) There have been times I have studied themes or particular chapters of the Bible but what I really enjoy the most is just reading through large sections of scripture. With that in mind several thoughts have come […]

Sunrise or Sunset. One and the Same?
I’m not much of a morning person. I figure if God wanted us to get up a 5 am he would have made the sun come up at 3 am. Nope, I’m much more inclined to enjoy the sun setting than rising. Â Several years ago a good friend of mine and I decided to get […]
My dog Buddy
Ears back, nose fully engaged and a bounce in his step; for my dog Buddy every trip to the lake near our house was like a trip to Disneyland for a small child. He was born to explore, mostly for small critters and on occasion a local cat. Buddy came to us from a pet […]
Oregon Ducks – Game Wrap Up and a Look Forward

Just how stingy is the MSU defense? The last time they gave up more than 28 points was in 2011. Oregon has averaged over 40 points a […]

Evening Hummingbird
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.†~ Seneca This photo involved some luck. I went down to the lake near my house prepared to photograph the sun setting.  While I was waiting this Anna’s Hummingbird flew close enough for me to photograph with my wide angle lens. When I first spotted the bird, […]
The Best Way to Get Hired for a New Job
Sitting at my desk I looked down and let out a low sigh. Staring back at me was a large pile of envelopes. Each one from a person wanting the opening for an accountant. Several weeks earlier I had written the description, the scope of work and set a salary range. It had seemed like […]
