It seems kinda cruel, doesn’t it?
Ever think about the tree in the garden of Eden? The one Adam & Eve weren’t supposed to eat from. It was called The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The tree itself was not evil. There was nothing wicked about it. If it was, then that means God would have created something…
Let me know when you start going west….
Take a globe & hold it in front of you. Place your finger at the very top (northernmost point) and move it down. Which direction are you going? South, of course. Keep going down until you reach the bottom of the globe. Now start going up the other side. Which way are you going now?…
Lessons from a bike

Saying Goodbye
Today was Meemaw’s funeral. She was my dad’s mom. My grandpa is still living, and I am SO thankful for the 88 & 90 years they have been on this earth. If she would have lived about 3 more weeks, they would have been married for 70 years. That is a lifetime together 🥹 I…
