...some were born to sing the blues.These lyrics from Journey's Don't Stop Believing are going to prove true for all of the government agencies and for all of the people that are affected by the sequester cuts.After the week of delays that resulted from the FAA cuts that caused air traffic controllers to be furloughed, our Congress has instructed the Department of Transportation (DOT) to find the money someplace else. So here's the deal in a nut shell. The FAA cuts it programs back as far as it can and still needs to furlough ATC one day per pay...

A Personal Tribute
Posted on 06:59 by Unknown
It has been several days since I've posted. Everyday I think I should write something but rarely feel like sitting long enough to formulate my thoughts into words and then put them in some kind of cohesive order that will make sense to anybody that might stop by to read them.Today is a little bit different.Today, I feel like I need to force myself to write.Today, I feel like I owe it to this man that I write about.Last Sunday morning, my Uncle "Spud" passed away. He was 89 years old.I just want to share a few thoughts about my uncle. I know...

Posted on 21:58 by Unknown
Maybe I'm just getting a little bit sentimental or soft as I age, but tonight I was fighting back tears as the generosity of the people of Hopedale overwhelmed me.It was a simple event; a fund raiser for our kids' camp.

A Little Empathy, Please
Posted on 22:22 by Unknown
I hesitate to write this post. I really don't want it to be taken the wrong way.It is not meant to be a condemnation of others. I just want to share some of the hard lessons that I've had to learn myself in order to save somebody else some of the trouble. It's been said that experience is the best teacher, but we should try to learn from the mistakes of others because we really don't have enough time to make them all ourselves. I've made plenty of them; trust me.I recently mentioned how some of our posts can drive away the very people that we should...
Not of This World...
Posted on 08:59 by Unknown
There are passages of scripture that refer to believers (followers of Jesus) as not being of this world. In His prayer (found in John 17), Jesus says that we are not of this world. He prays to the Father to guard us from evil rather than taking us out of this world.In Romans 12, Paul exhorts us not to be transformed by the world.I think of these things today because I know how easily we are drawn to the lusts and desires of this world that we live in. I know that we must be diligent in our efforts to keep Jesus first in our lives and to live for...
