That… Which Matters Most

  • Out and About: Seth and His Boys

    Walking just west of downtown McKinney, I noticed a young boy watching a road crew and their heavy machinery. He was transfixed. It was almost alarming because I didn’t immediately see his parents. Then I noticed man, under a tree, with another child in stroller, staring intently in the boys… Listen ⇢

  • Social Distancing: Dan and Maryann

    If you haven’t figured out by now, my wife and I are refusing to drink the Koolaid of fear, known as the Covid 19 pandemic. Outside of me losing my job, we haven’t changed a thing. I did wear a bandana for a couple of days with the pretense of… Listen ⇢

  • Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge– Week 21 — Riverwalk

  • 500,000!

    Sometime over the last week, my blog surpassed 500,000 views with more than 250,000 visits. Not bad for my corner of the internet. I’ve been with WordPress since 2010.   Listen ⇢

  • Shimmering Fountain

    I believe there is a deeper reason why we love fountains. They represent living waters, or waters that never cease to flow. For a culture that doesn’t live in the desert, this can sometimes be hard to grasp. But desert living will quickly remind a person just how important living… Listen ⇢
