Looking Up To Mom
As I was waiting in line at the post office today, I heard a little boy tell his mom, “When I turn 18, I am going into the Army just like you!”. The woman must not have like the idea too much, because he then said, “Dad said I can.” This simple little exchange really […]
Order on Earth
Some of my family live in another part of the country from me. Their weather always seems to be the opposite of what is going on where I live. My parents and I were talking about it today. My dad was a meteorologist in the Air Force for many years and described how there are jet streams […]
Following Childhood Dreams
Today my family celebrated my sister’s birthday. She and her husband recently bought a house and land – sort of a mini-ranch.

It has gotten to the point where people are ordering it in advance. We (her family) have been telling her she should try […]
A Vision Fulfilled
This evening I watched the big game. I was so happy to see that the vast majority of the commercials had a positive message. It seemed that there was a concerted effort to make the game more family friendly. Even the half time show was void of moments in which you would need to shield […]
In The Beginning
So, this is the new beginning to my daily “God-sightings”. Since my decision to start a new blog at the beginning of the year, it took me a while to figure out where to post, then how to use a new program, a new format, and decide what to say. Hopefully from here on out, […]
