For a brief time I was a guest columnist here but life interfered and I’ve been gone quite awhile. It’s been too long. And as my title implies, I have reasons but no excuses.
In January 2008 I got a new job — incredibly challenging. Six weeks later, my mother — who had always been healthy, [...]

People who have been to BBQ’s at our house start asking if the fire department was there. HA ha ha. That seems less funny each time I hear it. NO, not quite.
We, my wife and I, were doing a barbecue fundraser for the High school baseball team. We were cooking burgers and dogs by the [...]
The Promise

Today is the day that we celebrate the delivered promise. It’s the day we see that death can be defeated. It is the day we see who He was.
The powers of the world threw their worst at Jesus and thought they had defeated Him. It is on this day, that we celebrate their [...]

All:
Two events have occurred: I’ve taken a new job (minor), and my mother has become very, very ill (major). I won’t be around for a bit until the dust settles here. I’ll post when I can, but at the moment, I have to spend my time and thought elsewhere.
Paddio, I’ll be back when I can.

Just in case you are a bit squeamish, I should let you know this is not about food. This post is one of those sideline interests of mine. It’s about the curing of hides. Not only is it about hides but it is about the Indian Technique for preserving hides. I mention it here because [...]

Yeah, great (He says sarcastically) but that means I have to either stay away for 6 or so hours or be locked in the dungeon for the duration of giggly festivities.
So here I am in the dungeon awaiting rescue after the pink explosion is finally contained. We have 4 kids and since the [...]

A Kitchen Misadventure With a Happy Ending

Ok, so my sister sent me Williams-Sonoma frozen croissants for Christmas. They arrived a couple of weeks ago and have been languishing in the freezer, with the plan being to serve some of them as the bread entry with our makeshift Christmas dinner. Our friend Toni was coming for dinner, finding herself kidless and working [...]
Merry Christmas!

Christmas is such a great holiday. It’s a little different for everyone. There are great traditions that families develop over time and pass down each year.
Some of these are for the kids, others are about faith. Some people focus on the needs of others in the community and others focus on the [...]

Most of us don’t know the horrors of war. We do not see the chaos in our country that is so common in other nations around the world. This is thanks in large part to the sacrifice of our veterans over the many decades of our nations history.
The fact that these events are foreign to [...]
