Google News

Interestingly, I like the Google News Site. Its quick and easy and has a wide arrangements of sources. But I miss the days when I didn't know what was going on in the world. There was a time when I had no idea what was going on in the Middle East, or Europe, I didn't know what the trouble was south of the border, and I had NO economic notions about anything.

Those were good days.

News is so depressing now. Hurricanes about to hit, people shot, marriages crumbling. I really look forward to Heaven.

I don't know exactly what it will be like, but I do know that it will be better than this!

See ya

INSIDE OUT! with Jerry Meyer

Maybe one of the neater things about the web is that we meet so many people who live absolutely anywhere (hence the overall title of the Blog) and do anything. Over the years I have met a bunch of different types who have become very close. Jerry meyers (aka PapaJ) is one such person. He is a Christian, he is musical, and he gets my jokes! What more could you ask for.

Okay, he could also own major shares in Coca Cola and give them to me, but hey you can't have everything...

Papaj is also a former volunteer firefighter ( as I currantly am) and we connected on tons of different levels. He has been wrestling with health problems for years, but then he was faced with stuff (health problems) with his wife Pat. You have to read his stuff to understand I guess.

Anyway, he is cool, and I respect him immensely.

My Webpage

I used to have a snazzy (there is a word you don't see very often) webpage. I had all kinds of stuff on it about my family and my hobbies and stuff. I had flickering torches when they were still cool and I had music that never ended. In fact it was the theme music to "Get Smart".

I would update it every now and again, when my kids had birthdays or if I wanted to change a description or add links or whatever. Then I let it sit for a long time. About a year I guess, maybe longer, I had gotten bored with it. I just didn't really care about it. After all, its not like I got anything out of it except for a few friends that I made. (Which I suppose really justified the whole exercise in primitive html.) So anyway, after quite a while of not touching it I tossed everything on it and replaced all the deeply interesting facts about me playing Frisbee Golf with a couple of neat cartoons.

Now the cartoons just update themselves and I can come and go as I please. Its really very satisfying in a way.

I guess thats kind of my life. I am not terribly interested in telling lots of people all about me, I am more interested in passing along fun and useful things. I guess thats kind of why I am a Minister. Its not about me, its about Jesus.

See ya.

Peggie's Place!


I will never win a lottery! I was on a friends web page today (Peggie) and I hit the magic 7,000,000 spot. I got the counter thingee to roll over and because of this I am very excited. ( I really do have a life, I just think its really cool) Peggie has this great webpage and I like going there anyway. We both love Jesus, and lots of Italian food :-) There are actually a bunch of us that email regularly (The Pot o' Pastors) and Grant and I were both going to her site to see what the counter was. I won. Thats why I say I will never win a lottery. But thats okay actually. I don't really mind. I have something better.


Oh yeah. Grants website is Grant's Graceland


See ya
I talked to a friend today, he reminded me about Jeff Healey. Thats not a big thing except that I was glad to remember him. I used to listen to his show on CBC Radio, and I always liked the tone of his voice. He would play great blues songs, and occasionally he would play something himself. It was a warm and comfy thing I guess. You need to remember people that have affected you, but there is so much stuff coming at us everyday that I just don't seem to remember until something or someone reminds me. Its like walking into a Cow's Ice cream shop and remembering that I love Chocolate mint chip ice cream. Its a happy thing. Its like sometimes when I am really bummed out cause I have messed something up. I get all worked up about it and then my wife reminds me that Jesus forgives us anyway, not just when we get everything right, but when we are seriously screwed up too. Jesus is a happy person to remember too.
