This site occasionally features paid posts -- even so, they are 100% my honest opinion. I endeavor to promote only products I have used, or am willing to use, myself.
Thom has taken over Gattina’s meme invention, Muffed Target Photo Meme. The idea is to share our photos that didn’t turn out. Come on, you know we all have them! You share yours and I’ll share mine! I’m blaming this one on the sunscreen in my eyes.
My Thoughts: As Christians we often feel it is wrong to take care of ourselves. We are taught to deny ourselves and care for others, but Smith contends that we cannot properly care for others unless we first tend to our own needs. This is a book for healing wounded souls, and there likely isn’t [...]
My Thoughts: Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. Philippians 4:8 I read Christian literature because I don’t like the morals and values promoted by much of the mainstream literature. It isn’t that I [...]
We didn’t buy tickets to the luau. Luaus are for tourists. We’re not. Unfortunately, I forgot that Ella was. When the drums started she got all excited. I took her outside on the balcony and told her we could watch it from a bird’s eye view. Oh boy, you should have heard her shriek and [...]
Ella and I were on our way to breakfast. We had dropped Amoeba off at work and were looking for a little local diner, not a tourist spot. We headed off the beach strip and up into the hills. The road was twisty and dense vegetation packed either side, but every other curve or so [...]
I spent the day cleaning up loose ends, tidying up my calendar and prioritizing tasks. In the process of doing that I went through the tower of stuff on my desk I found books that should have been mailed to Beth and Amanda. Beth — I will get your book in the mail toot-sweet. My [...]
Of course when the plane landed in Kona the very first thing I did was retrieve Ella from baggage. She was quite refreshed after her nap and didn’t complain too much about the Macadamia Nut Pancakes she could smell all the way from first class. From the airport we went immediately to collect our rental [...]
Our vacation didn’t start with a mysterious visit from a Wizard or a bunch of dwarfs popping in for lunch and breaking the crockery, but even so it was quite an adventure. How could it not be with Ella along? We checked in at the Kenmore Air reservation desk in the Friday Harbor Airport. Ella, [...]
I woke up this morning and Ella was gone. Boy was I scared! I had no idea she could get out of our hotel room by herself, but she is a resourceful elephant. I found a chair near the door. She must have used it to get to the door knob. A glance at the [...]
Our very first morning here a nice tourist man greeted Ella and I as we went down to breakfast. He said to us, “Good morning. You just missed the dolphins. They are in the harbor every morning about 6:30 a.m., you should try to get here a little earlier.” Of course you know Ella was [...]
