Question

I would ask those who stop by to ponder a question for the day.

Is there a difference between a misquotation and a lie?

Your comments please.

Prayer request (2)

My deceased wife's mother is not doing well. She has diabetes and is in the stage of kidney failure. They are evaluating her chances with the hip surgery.

I would ask that you continue to prayer for my son and his wife. They are her caregivers and close to her.

Prayer Request !

No! Not for myself or my close family.

My diciest wife, Dana, her mother fell last night and broker her hip. My request is that our Lord would touch her as she is in the hospital.

Please call Rogene's name in prayer and that of my son and his wife as they care for her.

Thank you!

In memory Of Martin Luther King

Today is one of those sad days in and for America, as we remember the end of a life. This is the day, forty years gone by, that Dr. Martin Luther King’s life was brought to an end.


As I was riding into Porterville this morning on the radio I heard this comment by a friend of Dr. King’s, sorry I did not get his name. “You may kill the dreamer, but the dream still lives on.”

I am of the deep personal option that this one mans dreaming has change our nation, for the better. Your personal feelings about Dr. King and his lifes mission, matters little, we, as a nation lost a great dreamer that day in Memphis.


My family and I lived in Memphis for about four years. I did take my two sons to the Lorraine Motel. I did the best I could to give meaning for what had happened at this site to a six and four year old. Even to this day, forty years latter, we still speak of that day as we stood in the parking lot and looked up at a balcony. Of what that day and that one man’s life meant to our lives and to our nation.

A lesson in the new math.

I hope that a teacher or two will see this and enjoy a laugh.
