It has only not snowed 3-4 days since Ihave been in Iowa.  It is now snowing again.  We have been shoveling snow everywhere and it seems as though we just can’t keep up.  It did get a little warm the last two days so some of it has melted off.  We have 5″ of new snow and it’s still coming [...]

Last night I had the pleasure of working security for a Flatfoot56 concert.  I have to admit.  I love concerts.  I’m guessing I have seen over 150 bands so far in my life.  Many multiple times.  Many times making long treks to see them.  Since I am a bigger guy I have been fortunate enough to work security for some [...]

I was more than happy with Christmas this year.  It was pretty nice.  I had really no expectations of any big gifts and honestly I would prefer it that way.   So what did I get? Amazing Grace (the movie) a glass Iowa pitcher and mug set Velvet Evlis by Rob Bell 90 Minutes in Heaven Iowa Hawkeye door matt Iowa [...]

Tommorrow I will have the priviledge of going to a funeral of a man who has impacted my life.  He was also a WWII vet who flew in some pretty big missions.  He was a bomber pilot.  Tonight at the visitation I got to look through things I had always wanted to see and hear about but whenever I would [...]

Upon complaining, Trinder — a frequent flier who logs 200K miles per [...]

Or at least that’s what they were being told. I was a sophmore in high school and we had already been through the ringer.  My dad hurt his back.  He ended up losing his job through the ordeal.  We were living on my mom’s income as she was working at K-Mart.  God had done some really amazing things for our [...]

I will never forget when my aunt Phylis died.  That’s when my faith became active. I was a freshman in high school when I found out my aunt Phylis was in the hospital and was going to die form lung cancer.   Don’t get me wrong…we knew she was dying.  She had had lung cancer for a long time.  15 [...]

Who enjoys going to the dentist? Not me. I, however, have good reason to never want to step into a dentists office ever again. The year we moved from Missouri to Iowa a lot had happened in my life. We moved to what seemed to be a foreign country. We went from the middle of country landscape with a creek [...]

Most of my friends and a lot of the kids at school new I was a Christian.  My sophomore year I started taking it alot more seriously though.  Yeah I made some mistakes up until this point but things were starting to be different.  Most of the guys I hung out with weren’t Christians so it odd sometimes but we [...]
