Sorry to break it to you all like this, but I am going off on vacation. During this said vacation, who will be blogging away here like usual? Not I, said the little black duck. At the same time, since we know that at least some of you have a worrisome dependency problem, we have …
Heavy Horses, Heavy Blessings
I got married on this day, New Year’s Eve, in 1975. Doing the quick math, that adds up to 43 years together now, and I have to say that God’s hand for blessing has been heavy upon me. Let me give you one snapshot from the early years that does not sum it all up, …
Continued Gratitude
I told you I would keep you updated on the cancer news front, and so here it is. Yesterday Nancy and I met with my surgeon for a post-op visit, and with another doctor (after the tumor board had met) in order to determine what to do next, if anything. The good news is that …

The Obedience of Cancer
Introduction: If God governs the world—as He does—then this means that all things must be obedient to Him. But there is another side to this, leaving us with an antimony. We know for a fact that we live in a sinful world, which means that there are entities and individuals that are disobedient to God. …
Just Sayin’ . . .
I have a friend here in Moscow who knows of some possible programming opportunities. That being the case, why shouldn’t you be aware of them? They are currently hiring both inexperienced & experienced C/C++ programmers, and offer the best programming salaries in the Moscow/Pullman area. Company prospects look good for at least the next two …
