Masterful

February 11, 2024

  “The numbers that govern the operation of our universe are calibrated with mind-boggling precision so that life can exist. The very physics of the universe are so precisely tuned that they defy the explanation that the universe is merely the result of chance.” Lee Strobel ”The universe is the handiwork of a master designer.” […]

Cool and calm

February 10, 2024

A word came to me this morning on the way home from the grocery store. Imperturbable….always staying calm and controlled even in difficult situations that would cause others to come undone. In tennis, it’s Bjorn Borg as John McEnroe blew a fuse. The basketball genius John Wooden was imperturbable while rival Bobby Knight was a […]

Oooops

A good friend related an amusing story recently. He was scheduled to have a colonoscopy and had just completed the prep that called for taking 4 Dulcolax pills. When his wife returned from shopping, she asked how the prep had gone as it’s often a bit testy. The fella mentioned that the pills were a […]

Well, this is the first morsel a very young cowboy has posted that has not had an accompanying picture. I didn’t feel it would be fair to the parties involved. After driving my wife to the hospital this morning for a bit of surgery all seemed to be going perfectly. The procedure was slated for […]

One flew over the cuckoo’s nest

February 5, 2024

Ok…so breakdancing is now an Olympic Sport in 2024. I guess it follows that square dancing is next and, who knows, maybe solitaire in 2032. Love to hear the committee explain flag football and breakdancing taking precedence over softball/baseball.

Alleluia

February 5, 2024

Many years ago, a much younger cowboy had a job in sales. At team meetings in Chicago, I was given the nickname of The Strobe. There was a constant stream of marketing ideas flowing to and from me that I wish would have resulted in more sales. Fast forward 25 years and I now rise […]

On numerous trips to my ‘home water’, I have developed a good luck ritual that some might think is a bit odd.  Home water means the river you consistently frequent in hopes of fooling wily rainbow and brown trout which, for me, rarely happens. This habit originated in 2022 when I saw a huge elk […]

Preposterous

In Colorado, investigators seized nearly 940 pounds of fentanyl last year, or about 2.61 million pills, the DEA said. The amount seized across the four-state region in 2023 was more than a 500% increase from amounts confiscated in 2021. Trone said “99 percent of the fentanyl is coming from precursor drugs from China, and then […]

A bit of good fortune

January 31, 2024

We live in a small cul de sac with five families. In 1984, on a questionable tip from a friend, we purchased a chest of drawers from a mega furniture retailer here in Denver. Well, forty years later, it was time to part ways with this invaluable family treasure. In my eighth decade of life, […]

The great influencer

January 31, 2024

  No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus does. (Read again words 1-3) Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped;  no other man has been so devoutly loved. John Knox As the centuries pass, the evidence is accumulating that, measured by His effect on history, […]

Astounding

Dream catcher

Our daughter Carly displayed an artistic talent at a very early age. This dream catcher is her most recent creation.

Delish

January 29, 2024

My bucket list is far more basic than my wife’s with hers being adventures to Africa and Italy. Some might say my items need to be revamped to put a bit more life in my life. Ok…I’ll address that soon enough but today…on the urging of my good friend Doug, I checked the box near […]

Forewarned

January 24, 2024

When my wife traveled to Africa in September, the trip leader cautioned everyone to keep a safe distance from all of the wildlife and showed a video of why. Now, I don’t know about you, but after seeing this, his warning is not anything one should take lightly. Just click on arrow and scroll to […]

Mindless

January 18, 2024

Most everyone has heard of the tremendous success of The Air Jordan basketball shoe. Surely, Michael could soar like a bird. At the gym where I frequent, I’ve noticed far less than Michael’s leap and hang on the rim to show off…even seen a couple of guys hang for seconds on an already badly bent […]

A morsel about reincarnation

January 16, 2024

I’ve never given much thought to the idea of reincarnation. That is, until the last two weeks. There’s a fella at the gym who is making me consider the possibility. He does a set of leg curls…stands up, shakes his body, and is immediately transformed into a combination of a dancing Michael Jackson and martial […]
