It is interesting how we remember things when it becomes relevant to us. Everytime I see dirty dishes in the sink, I remember my mother. I want to procrastinate washing them and say, “I’ll wash them later.” Then I remember what my mother used to say. Whenever we have people over for dinner, she would […]

Have you ever noticed that when you are anticipating an exciting event, such as a trip, a presentation you have to make, or an important test, the dreams you have about it are never good? I dreamt last night that on the way to a speaking engagement, I got a flat tire. The day before, […]
At the office today a man called, soliciting for work, asking if we were hiring anyone to paint or do small jobs. I kindly said we don’t need anyone at this time. Then he started cussing me out with very obscene language. Where did that come from? Why do people think they can treat other […]
Mike, Elliot and I took a quick tour of Olvera Street yesterday.Olvera Street has a “fake authentic” feel like New Orleans Square in Disneyland. It should be a setting for a ride.

I was irritated, and certainly didn’t want to get […]
Some interesting finds as we read through the book of Leviticus: Chapter 19:14 “Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind…” Audrey commented: It’s sad that God even had to tell them not to do that. Chapter 20:14 “If a man marries both a woman and her mother, […]
