Daylight Savings Time

I probably mention this subject every year (I haven't checked the archives) on my blog or Facebook, so I probably sound like a record with the needle stuck. I never have or never will like daylight savings time. Before everyone tells me the reasons for it and the benefits of it, I get it. I always feel lousy several days after the time change until my body adjusts. God has already given us built-in DST...it's called summer. I remember as a kid before the state of North Carolina jumped on the DST train there was plenty of daylight stretching into the evening hours. We never came in from work or play until after 9PM. It's artificial and I prefer natural. That's all.

Couldn't Fight It

Referring to an earlier post on this blog, I couldn't fight the temptation. I just received, by mail, my brand new leather-bound copy of the Holman Christian Standard Bible. It's beautiful! Nice weight and size, plus the layout is single-column with adequate sized font for my aging eyes. Great buy from evangelicalbible.com.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

It was 34 years ago on a Saturday much like this Saturday that my wife Ann and I were joined in holy matrimony. Three children and five grandchildren later, we're still here! Plan to spend the evening dining at a nice restaurant with good friends.

On The Verge

I think I'm on the verge of pulling out the plastic and ordering a copy of the HCSB minister's Bible. Can I fight the temptation?

Pathetic

It's sad reading Facebook posts of someone who has turned their back on their Christian faith as they try to cloak themselves in liberal politics and intellectualism. I believe they are trying to fill a void. Sad indeed. I will pray for my friend.
