What Was I Thinking

It's day two of my newest journey, well day four if you count the weekend and I have spent a whole bunch of time writing. The question remains as to whether or not I will make enough to keep the women I love from bolting on me.

Easter Sunday 2012

Have you noticed I tend to write in this blog every holiday? I guess it has to do with the fact holidays are a time of remembrance. Who knows.

Maybe There is Something to This God Thing

I’m starting to think there is something to this whole God thing. I admit I have always been skeptical about things and maybe I am just hoping there really is a God and all, which is causing me to read things into events which aren’t there, but when does something become real and not a coincidence?

It All Starts With The Foundation

As many of you who read this blog probably have figured out recently I have been finding my way back to places I have never been before, in other words, examining my faith and beliefs. This includes reading the Bible which is something I can honestly say I never did before.

Reaping what we sow

For the first 55 years of my life I never did much in the way of Bible reading or studying, but for the last six months or so, I have begun to do just that. Basically I have been searching for answers to life's most puzzling questions. Now I admit, not everyone believes in the Bible, or even God and it is not my intention to convert anyone, it's just that, the more I read, the more I find what the Bible teaches us is true.

Be thankful for what you have

The other day as I sat behind the dirty windshield I happened to go by the "Occupy Worcester" bunch. Now this group is fairly small and have been tucked away into a corner of a park on the outskirts of the city, so I couldn't get a good look at them. But I have seen pictures and the like of some of the participants in the other groups. No, this is one of those political rants, that is in my other blog It's Clear As Mud instead it's about...

Sunday Sermon Oct 9 2011

There was a death in the family this week, and whenever someone close to us passes away we tend to feel a variety of emotions. Sadness. Pain. Loss. A feeling of "I wish I had said Good-bye". Most of us tend to have sorrowful thoughts while we deal with out grief. While it is okay for us to grieve and have such thoughts, we should also be happy.

Good-bye Doc, they don't make them like you anymore

You know what really sucks about getting old? It's not that you can't do the things you used to and it's not all those aches and pains you wake up with. it isn't that your forget where you put things or that the only time any one asks for an ID is when you go to pick up your pills at the pharmacy. Not, it's none of that, it's that each year you lose more of the people you love.

Sunday Sermon #1

And now it is time for our Sunday night sermon, straight from the I'm Just Musing ministry at the little house on the lake. Today's sermon is entitled.... Okay I'm just kidding, I don't have a sermon or a ministry however, feel free to send donations anyway and I can make one.

A hot summer's nights musings

Have you ever heard the expression, "There is a hell and I am living in it"? I heard that the other day although I have heard it before, and I started thinking about it. Is it possible that we do live in hell, maybe not our whole lives but for a determined amount of time, maybe as our penance for our sins?

Father's Day Musings

It's Father's Day and I am sitting here outside the little house on the lake watching the world go by in their speed boats and fishing boats and airplanes. (Yes, I did say airplanes, there is a seaplane that uses the lake for a runway, but it's all good) And I am doing something I haven't done in some time, having a cold beer (or more) and feeling so....

Family Woes

For the first time in awhile I had all three of my grandchildren here at the little house on the lake, all together, at the same time. And for a brief, fleeting, moment I thought both my kids might actually speak to each other, but nope, didn't happen.

Confidence is king

My son said to me the other day "Dad, I learned you can do anything you want if you try hard enough and believe in yourself." You know something? he's right. Look at me, it took me a long time to understand that, but when I caught on I realized I could write and even make money doing it. Now i admit, I am not making a whole boat load of money, but I am making some.

Friday Night Ramblings

I'm sitting here by the lake, sipping on a Rolling Rock or two and thinking about life. You know ever since I fell off the back of the tow truck on my head I have a new outlook on things. Maybe when you have you life flash in front of your eyes it makes you realize a few things, like you never know when this life will be over and the next one will begin. And then you start to wonder exactly what the next life is.

Signs, Signs, Everywhere are Signs

You can't save those who don't want to be saved. You can't help those who don't want to be helped. Sometimes you just have to let things go and hope they'll figure this out on their own.

Who is right

Throughout my life during those few times where I actually gave thought to whether or not there was a God or not, one of the questions which would always arise was “Who is right?” Maybe a better question would be “Who’s God is right?” or even “If there is a God, how can He…(fill in the blank)” For example, the receiver who makes the game winning catch for a touchdown will more than likely say “God was with me today” so does that mean He was against someone else? How does He decide who side to be on?

Spring Cleaning of the Mind

Things have been "springing" up here at the little house on the lake. The ice is gone, the peepers are peeping (the ones that live in the swampy area in the back not the neighbors who look in the windows) and it is almost getting warm outside. I love spring when everything seems to get new again, including the view from behind the dirty windshield.

Things to think about

It's snowing here at the little house on the lake, the 1 to 3 inches has turned into 2 to 4, but then I don't think they have hit one right yet. Every year as I get older, winters get longer and longer. At least I don't have to work today, but will be going to my granddaughter's birthday party, if the little red pick up can make the hill.

A revelation

I think this is going to be one of those “life explaining moments” posts. I am sitting here at the little house on the lake, I am out on the porch, I have the wood stove going, Buttons the wonder dog is sitting on the couch, it’s 18 degrees out with a cold west wind blowing across the lake, the notebook is charged up, I got th blues on the radio and I am in a pensive mood.
