God Is Not Fair !
When Renan arrived my son, my wife and I were already discussing the book of Joshua. I was grateful for being able to have this time to talk to my son about the scripture in a casual atmosphere. And not just the atmosphere, but with a friend of mine that could be another positive male role model for my son.
Chronic Fatigue But Feeling Better
Have you ever had your health take a nose dive and you could not figure out why. Have you ever gone to the doctor and his or her help didn’t seem to help. Even worse has the doctor looked at you like you were crazy?
Well that happened to me, and I finally figured out what was wrong with me thanks to the help of a friend of mine.
Burial Customs Here in the Philippines
After three and a half years here I still haven’t gotten used to the traditions burying the dead here in the Philippines. Money is collected, the rosary is chanted, and the casket stays open while the dead stays there in the living room for a minimum of one week.
A Soft Spot on My Son’s Head
So what is a not-so observant father supposed to do when faced with two (I think) overly concerned women who believe I should take my son to an emergency room at 8pm at not based on a soft spot on the back of his head.

Like a Rolling Stone (Kidney that Is)
My continuing mission to explore strange new medical claims concerning my health. First I thought I had a gall stone, and the doctors thought I had a low thresh hold for pain and a bad muscle spasm. About ten days later I found after all it was just a kidney stone. But what a stone!
TOUGH NIGHT (A Short Story)
Anyone that’s gone to the hospital in excruciating pain can relate to this one. I’m forty-one years old now and although I’ve experience pain like this a couple of other times in my life, it’s this one that stretched for several hours and will be the most difficult to forget.
Time to Get Into Shape
Went to the gym with my fourteen year old son for the first time, he was very excited. I was pretty happy about it myself and looked forward to working out on the elliptical machine that I hadn’t had regular access to in several years. Working out there that day was beautiful.
How Have You Been?
Occasionally I run across someone that hasn’t seen nor heard from me in much detail for several years at a time. When this happens I typically like to take the time to given them a meaningful response. Here is something I put together to give that meaningful response I was talking about … So how have I been doing for the last 10 years :-)
Grinch International
Have you ever felt sick to your stomach about “the Holidays?”. Have you ever thought to yourself that you wished it could be like the good ol’days or wondered why Christmas was ever anything before or what it should be? … Well I’ve decided to steal all the presents and take gift giving out of Christmas. What do you think about them apples?!?
