Blog postWhether or not you are an artist, you should know that Inktober is nearly upon us.
I may not be an artist, but I like to be creative. It is in my DNA. Actually, I think creativity is in everybody’s DNA. But if you are like me, you like to have prompts. You want people to tell you what to draw rather than just trying to draw something from your mind. Or maybe that is just me.
It seems that whenever I try to draw something from my brain, it usually ends up with a poor rendition -
Blog postThe worst part of being sick is well… being sick.
I do not like to complain, but I am going to do it anyway. In a kinda sorta tongue in cheek way.
I recently went through a bout of COVID. Five days of not much fun. Well, technically six days since the first day of symptoms is called day zero. Which is one of the better things about the COVID protocols. Everybody else counts like computer geeks and starts with zero.
At any rate.
The worst part of being sick is t -
Blog postThere is nothing new under the sun or under my blog banner.
Solomon said, “Vanity of vanities… There is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2, 9 ESV) Or something like that. Of course, he was talking about all of life. The struggles and strifes and victories and glories. They are all the same. Life goes ever onward. And it is all the same. It is all vanity. It is all worthless. (Which is the second definition of vanity.) Solomon does end his discourse with hope. “Fear God a -
Blog postAll of life is about the lag.
When you think about lag, you usually think of video games or video conferencing or even live video broadcasts. You think about the frustration of not getting that kill shot because your internet glitched at just the wrong time. Lag. Or you think about how the audio is behind the video in the video chat with your parents who are across the state or across the country or across the sea. Lag. Or you think about how your friends who are at the live televised -
Blog postI feel like I need a vacation from blogging.
I have written a weekly blog post for many years now. Since 2007. Yes. If you look at my website, it has posts from 2006, but I did not actually create my website until 2007. Which is all just to say that I have been writing those weekly posts for a long time. I am not sure I ever missed one. Even when I have actually been on vacation. (Not bragging. Just commenting.)
I must admit that I really do enjoy blogging. Whether anybody rea -
Blog postMargie (Matsushima) Miyoshi
(May 31, 1942 – September 16, 2021)
Margie (Matsushima) Miyoshi was born on May 31, 1942 and went to meet her Lord Jesus on September 16, 2021. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. A loving and caring sister, aunt, and friend.
There are many traits that define a person, but the trait that stands out the most about my mom is hospitality. That might seem like an odd single word to describe a person, but it fits. After all, hospitali -
Blog postEpilogue Joe saw Garth a few weeks later as they were both preparing to enjoy the Saturday sunshine.
“Say. Did you hear the latest?”
Garth replied, “You mean the vaccination lottery? Oh yeah. I saw it in the newspaper this morning and on social media last night. I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
“I know what you mean. In fact, it gives guys like you more credibility.”
“Guys like me?” Garth feigned indignance. Then showed his pride. “You mean conspiracy theorists.” -
Blog postPart 2: Conspiracy Theorist Garth was out on his hammock by the fence when Joe walked out onto his back patio. Their small yards had barely enough room to house their respective humble outdoor furnishings. Joe could sit on his outdoor couch and sip his beer and talk to Garth without either of them having to raise their voices.
“I thought you were going out to celebrate some milestone at work tonight.”
Joe grumbled. “I was. But they were going to send us to the back of the bus -
Blog postPart 1: No Card “We have a reservation for six at six.”
“Whose name is the reservation under?”
“Pauline.”
“I see it.” The maître d’ looked up from her book. “May I see your cards?”
The party of six reached for their wallets in pockets and purses. Joe grumbled, “I thought this was a restaurant, not a bar. Why do you need to see our IDs?”
Everybody stared at Joe. The maître d’ was also astounded. “Uh… Not your ID sir. I need to see your vacci -
Blog postShe was the dog who loved my children
She was the dog who loved my wife
She was the dog who loved us unconditionally
Every day of her life They say all dogs go to heaven
I really hope it’s so
For I hope to see all of man’s best friends
Especially, Yukiko
Yukiko
January 1, 2002 to March 10, 2018
Without our little dog around
I do not know how life will be
Which is why I hope in heaven
To find our little Yuki
