If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Last fall, I had to create a PowerPoint presentation for a Communications class. I was overall pleased with the result, and I made an excellent grade on it. I’ve exported it as a video so everyone can see the process…
I love putting rumors to bed, so let’s do this. You’re complaining that Facebook has “removed” your post, because you’re seeing this: It hasn’t been removed. It just requires a little more attention.

In The Beginning Life used to be so easy. We drove to the bank, handed our deposits to the teller, chatted pleasantly as the teller conducted our business, then went on our way. We’d go to a shop, select our purchases, hand the cashier a check or some cash, receive our change and receipt, and…

I’m trying to catch up but I’m having trouble finding opportunities to just take pictures. Nevertheless, I’m doing photography. I have a goal to print five of my photos, and this is…
first published the first week in September 2016 but somehow lost in my archives, so I’m republishing it from my RSS feed This weekend and last weekend it was my privilege to experience a significant gift from God in answer to a prayer.

I don’t watch the news. In fact, when I pass by a television set that is showing a news broadcast, I do my best to exit the venue as quickly as possible. And yet, I will contend that I am as informed and as well-advised as any news junkie. Here’s why: 1. We know the…
