You have a purpose!

In today’s video (click the “word” video), I read a few informational signs on my walk. These signs haven’t always been here so I’ve been perceiving the flowers to be weeds. As I read the signs I’m learning that what I’ve been seeing as weeds actually have a purpose. What I perceived to be nothing…

Change is inevitable!

In today’s video (click the word “video” to see it), I recall the time I first moved to Texas. Coming from MI, which is a lot colder than Texas, 40 degrees was not cold to me. I could wear little clothing and not feel cold at all. But now having been here over 10 years…

Joy comes in the morning!

In today’s video (click “video” to see it), I talk about me “crying” about walking up the hill on my walk. I’ve walked up that hill many times on my walks but today I just wasn’t looking forward to it. As I began to do it anyway, I was reminded of a scripture, “Weeping may…

Shut it down…

In today’s video (click the word “video” to see it), I talk about the uncertain times we are in. I never thought in a million years that schools and churches would be shut down. As I listen and watch people post on social media I see others racking their brains to figure out what’s really…

Wake Up!

In today’s video (click the word “video” to see it), I talk about hearing from a higher power, I call God, speak to me on my walk. The words I kept hearing Him say were, “Wake Up”! As I looked around, I realized that I had to slow down and enjoy the journey. I was…

You’re an Essential worker….

In today’s video (click the word “video” to see it), I reflect on the dedication the teachers have as I walk pass my daughter’s school. While the world is in quarantine, teachers and other essential workers still have to report to work. I thank the teachers, doctors, trash collectors, super market staff and countless others…

Lesson learned from a snail….

In today’s video (click the word “video” to see it), I stop to follow a snail. On first sight I asked my wife, who was walking with me, if we could eat it…lol But after doing a quick google search I realize that not all snails are edible. So I didn’t touch him, instead I…

Beauty is in the eye…

In today’s video (click the word “video” to see it), I take notice of what seems to be a drainage ditch. I walk pass this area often on my walks but today I saw water flowing through it and decided to go check it out. The flowing water felt very tranquil and calming as I…

Run your own race!

In today’s video (click the word “video” to see it), I noticed a couple different flowers during my morning walk. The Texas blue bonnet and another unknown (to me) yet equally as beautiful red/yellow flower. Though they are all in a field together, they all started from a seed, was planted and watered and now…
