In the course of listening through the Bible in a year, thanks to the Daily Audio Bible, one will come eventually to a romp through the book of Isaiah. Read more
I Wonder Why I Wander
Nomadic career path.
That’s perhaps the most eloquent summary of my journey thus far.
It certainly beats the heck out of “Aimlessly searching for purpose,” “Futilely looking for something he’ll never find,” or “Has no idea what he wants to be when he grows up, and shows no signs of ever growing up.”
Yup – nomadic career path. Much nicer. Read more
Mara (“Bitter”)
A friend of mine was preaching a sermon from the book of Ruth, and asked her friends in the social-media-interweb-internet-thingies which character they identify with most from the book… Read more
The 40 Year Long Way ‘Round
I think I might start a series called “My Weekly Butt Kicking from Pastor Craig.”
Nope – too wordy.
“Pastor Craig Kicks My Butt.”
No – just doesn’t seem right.
“Kickin’ with Craig.”
Aahhh – that’s the ticket. Read more
Reconnection
One of the “gigs” I find myself in lately is working at the airport…
I pause to allow you, dear reader, to be a tiny bit envious. I don’t blame you at all – Honestly, I do an internal happy dance every time I get to use the phrase, “I work at the airport.”
**Woo hoo!!**
See? There I go again. Read more
Iron Sharpens Iron
As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend.
Proverbs 27:17 (NLT)
“Iron sharpens iron” can be the productive work of a file in the hands of a jeweler, or it can be the destructive work of two swords clashing, producing only sparks and damaged blades. Read more

Beka Is SO Weird
The following scenario plays out pretty much every time a certain furry critter in our house gets her hungry on. And it’s something she’s done since she became a part of our family… Read more
You – Follow Me
When I have nothing better to crab about, I’ll mutter to my beloved that “I shouldn’t bother with this writing crap, since nobody reads it anyway. Besides, everybody writes, everybody blogs, and everybody and their distant relatives is working on a book. So why bother?”
And I’m finally starting to get it through my thick noggin that all that negativity, spewed out with extreme prejudice, is harmful to my beloved. It may (or may not) provide me some relief, via “venting,” but it’s pretty much a soto voce stream of negative that gathers in her personage and festers.
So it’s all well and good (or not) for me to launch that poopy out there, but it’s not good (or extremely not) for her. And since I really do love my beloved more than myself (or at least am trying to), I need to head that stuff off before it blasts out my pie hole and smacks her.
All of this has nothing to do with anything I’m thinking about in this present post-thingie, but it’s still true… Just not related to this. Read more
Entry-Level Attitude
So, here we go again…
I am once again wading into the turbulent waters of part-time employment. Lord help us all.
And, as He seems to take great pleasure in doing, God led me to one job, only to throw in a sharp left turn at the interview, putting me in a different job at the same place that seems to fit me better.
He’s fancy like that.
And as the paperwork gets going, uniforms get ordered, and my lengthy tainted background is scrutinized, I think about work… Read more
