SkyHiDave's Journal: October 2007

Friday, October 19, 2007. Brad Pitt, the Prophet. Anyway, if a magazine article's title is intriguing enough, I might proceed to the next level of interest - reading the captions over any pictures the article might include. The article's pictures are what reminded me of his head. In addition to the pictures, The Parade article had a section about Brad Pitt's spiritual journey. He stopped short of reconciling the conflict and moved on. I think we have to look entirely at what Jesus said, apart from what w...

Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Dave's Top Ten - The Other Dave. It seems that list publishing has been popular ever since the Ten Commandments, or 15 if you have the Mel Brooks' version. Then David Letterman (the other Dave) perfected wacky list making in his nightly ritual. Therefore, since we've been here in Austin now coming up on three months, I thought it would be time for a few lists of our own. Here is our list of the pleasantly unexpected experiences in Central Texas:. 1 Intensely blue sky. And almo...

SkyHiDave's Journal: September 2007
http://skyhidave.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 15, 2007. Blogging is a little bit like praying - at times you're not sure if anybody is listening. But all that matters is that the right person is listening. Also, blogging, like prayer, is better for the blogger than the bloggee. I am a little behind on my praying, I mean blogging, so I'll try to catch you up on a number of fronts. And like prayer, occasionally you hope for a response that a human could recognize. I see strangers on the horizon - get the Winchester! Before we leave...

Saturday, June 28, 2008. Our First Year in Texas. Our son-in-law will be attending nursing school over the next two years there (roughly 2 hours SW). So with all the first year activities, I felt it was time for an honest appraisal of our year here, to include the good, the bad, the ugly, and the most excellent. Here goes. Note: August of 06' saw a record number of 100 degree days, while August of '07 did not have a single 100 degree day. So if you like extremes, come to Texas! The Arbors at Dogwood Creek.

Sunday, November 16, 2014. A “Talent” for Writing. Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”. Philippians 1:6 New International Version. I‘ve been told I write more often and in greater quantity than average. It extends to talking as well, regulated only by medication metabolism. Occasionally comes affirming feedback and, on even rarer occasions (maybe once), suggestions to write for wider audiences. He often gave me a pass.
