About Me


The knotted oaks shall showers of honey weep.
~DRYDEN.
...Sourwood Honey...
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES:
"The rationale of the Incarnation lies in this, ‘A certain man had a hundred sheep. . .. One of them went astray . . . and He went into the wilderness and found it.’" ~Alexander MacLaren
I like winter with its clear, cold nights and the stars like silver-headed nails driven into the vault of heaven. I like spring with its green growth, its flowing streams, its revirescent hope. I like summer with the litany of gentle winds in the tops of the trees, its long evenings and the songs of its birds. But best of all I like autumn. I like its mist and haze, its cool morning air, its field strewn with the blue aster and the goldenrod; the radiant livery of the forests — “yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red.” Clarence Macartney
"Our law is clear: Lead-laden lunchboxes are illegal." ~Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, CT
"We don't keep a certified whale-vomit expert on staff." ~Larry Penny, Director, Natural Resources Department, East Hampton, NY
"Getting eaten by exotic animals is a better way to go than being eaten by a squirrel or a crow," ~Tim Sullivan, Behavioral Husbandry Manager, Brookfield Zoo
"You wipe away the imperfections and take away the pain. You wrap Your loving arms around this wretched thing called me. Your love is all I'll ever need, Your love has set me free. The Truth is only You." ~Showbread
"Christianity has not so much been tried and found wanting, as it has been found difficult and left untried. ~GK Chesterton
"For he belonged out here with the night and the crash of the storm, with strong, lawless things about him." 'Riders of the Storm' by Max Brand
'The girl gave him a look which ought to have stuck at least four inches out of his back." 'The Long Goodbye' by Raymond Chandler

My Interests

Cows.
Cicadas.
Peanut butter.
The smell of dirt.
Zamboni machines.
Kenny Got Saved concerts.
Having a whole bag of Reese's Peanut Butter cups to myself.

The one that got away.
The one that will never be.
The one that broke my heart.

And the Mighty One, God, the LORD--El, Elohim, Jehovah! (Psalm 50:1)

I'd like to meet:

Charles H. Spurgeon. He's one of those cool dead guys. And Dr. Seuss, Alexander MacLaren, Matthew Henry, Mr. Rogers, Captain Kangaroo, Joshua, Gideon, Phinehas son of Eleazar, Bezalel son of Uri, Rich Mullins.

"The moon is high and the sunset fades
The lullabies have all been sung
We're tucking in another day
And the stars appear now one by one
But the stillness moves and the silence yields
And not a single beat is lost
You can hear the chorus in the fields
Taking up where we left off

And Your praise goes on
Rising to Your throne
Past the stars they fly
Your praises fill the sky
Til You wake us with the dawn
And Your praise goes on..."
~Chris Rice

And one day soon I will meet my Savior, Jesus the Messiah.
