Life Is Short…

Less than two weeks ago, the young fiancé of a neighbor’s son was found unresponsive in the morning and had to be rushed to the hospital to recover. They had just become engaged the night before.

Yesterday, an extremely close friend that is older nearly passed away from a serious kidney infection before responding well to treatment in the hospital. She was doing great just a few days earlier.

And now tonight, my wife and I watched a 24-year-old NFL football player collapse and become lifeless on the field on live tv. He is in peak physical condition in the prime of his life.

My wife and I talked while the medical efforts were being performed on football player Damar Hamlin, who we are praying for, along with his family and friends. We hope he will be all right. These reminders of the frailty of life in such close succession brought to our minds a passage in the bible that is as relevant now as it was when it was written thousands of years ago.

“Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.” ~ Isaiah 55:6

Life is short — None of us are guaranteed any extra days on this world — We are all born for a purpose — There is a God who loves us and cares about us.

My prayer for 2023 is that people realize those truths.

God bless you on this remembrance and observance of Good Friday, the day Christians humbly honor the day our savior Jesus Christ sacrificed himself on a cross to be crucified and pay the penalty for the sins of the world. Now all those who have accepted Christ as their savior can say with an honest heart, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” ~ Galatians 2:20 (ESV)

The new quarterback of the NFL’s Denver Broncos echoed that sentiment today:

God bless you and I pray you have a great Resurrection Day celebration on Sunday.

It’s That Time of Year

Yep!  It’s officially the holiday time of year.  Thanksgiving just finished up (and I’m still daydreaming about my wife’s amazing caramel pecan pie, but I digress) and now it seems everyone is looking forward to the Christmas season.  From children to families to adults to retail stores, the Christmas season is high on people’s lists, albeit for many different reasons.

Me?  I love this time of year for a number of reasons.  (1) The reason behind it relates to the love of God for the entire world through sending us His only son, Jesus Christ (hence the name, Christmas).  That’s a potent message all by its lonesome.  (2) Most people seem to be a little more willing to smile, more willing to display manners and show a thoughtfulness and charity towards others that isn’t there the rest of the year.  (3) Christmas music starts playing, and it includes all of the above (at least my favorites do!)

The whole shopping thing?  It’s not one of my reasons and I think we can agree that’s gotten just a bit out of hand.  Christmas was never meant to be commercial or material.  It wasn’t meant to bring a business’ ledger into the “black” on “Friday,” nor was it designed to make people think of stuff instead of each other.

Now, I could ask you to buy my artwork for Christmas because it’s that time of year and, well… ‘cuz you should!  But if you decide to buy or not buy, that’s up to you and whether you love it enough to buy it.  I just want to wish you an incredible holiday season that is filled with blessings and love for family and everyone you come in contact with this season.

Have a great day and don’t let your horse come home without ya!

Simple Ingredients…

Soooo… is it obvious that I’ve got pie on the brain?  That’s all right, there’s no need to panic.  It’s not contagious… unless you happen to be near our kitchen.  Then those simple ingredients in the photo above will leave the pleasure center of your brain begging for mercy.

Isn’t that how life should be?

Simple ingredients.  Nothing fancy.  You can find them anywhere.  In this case, it is chopped pecans, caramel squares and eggs.  Combine those simple ingredients with a few others, bake in a heated oven and voila!  Caramel Pecan Pie.  Your taste buds will never be the same.

In the case of life, it’s much the same way.  Really.  Simple ingredients combined together can make life sweet.  Ingredients like love, respect, trust and faith.  We’ve all got them inside of us.  Every one of us.  And you know what?  It’s up to us whether we will share them or not; allow them to be combined and heated in the oven of life’s challenges.

If we will, the end result will always be sweet.  And we’ll never be the same…

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday and don’t let your horse come home without ya!
