I’m off to be a camp counselor. Kids beware. I may be away from blogging for quite some time. A month? All depending. When I return I’ll be full of new insights, wisdom and epiphanies. Or not. Any tips on being a camp counselor would be appreciated!

My Life Summarized By a 5-Year Old
My friend Naomi gave me this thoughtful letter. I added her explanations on the side: The question is, “What will the scribble become?” Perhaps there are clues in the picture that would help answer that question? I see two stick figures amongst the scribble, does that portend something of note? It appears they are both …

Comparison Chart of the Hevenly Signs Described in the Bible regarding the Sun, Moon and Stars

Therefore, I put together this little chart. Perhaps someone besi>des myself will find it useful too: Download …

Time Rich. It’s Weird.
I went beach camping most this past week. It wasn’t until the 3rd afternoon I finally got bored. Not miserable bored… just relaxed bored. The picture above shows one of the spots I camped at. I set my tent up underneath the shade of those Kansas Palm Trees (aka Cottonwoods). Now that I have so …
