There is a painting in the entry of our home. Every now and then as I am passing by, I will stop and look at it. It is a painting of my two eldest children, Julienne and Maggie.

Cautiously grateful
I wanted to share something my wife, Jen, wrote yesterday about our experience Sunday. I’m grateful for this miracle, and cautious because I know hydrocephalus can turn on a dime and we can find ourselves in the emergency room again. From Jen’s Facebook post: If you’re tired of all the negativity in the world rightContinue reading “Cautiously grateful”

Special day of prayer and fasting
I submitted this to the Peninsula Daily News but I guess they decided not to publish, so I thought I’d share it here. I’m 49 years old. In my lifetime, the closest thing that I can relate to today’s COVID-19 pandemic, is 9-11. The world as we knew it had changed. The loss of lifeContinue reading “Special day of prayer and fasting”

Ward Christmas Variety Show
The call went out to have a participants for a variety show for our ward church Christmas party in Port Angeles. I love Vocal Point and for years I thought it would be fun to do a skit to this number “Primarily Vocal Point” (A cappella Tribute to Children’s Songbook Primary Songs). My only regretContinue reading “Ward Christmas Variety Show”
Making the most of the moment
Over the past few weeks I have been digitizing old home movies that are on VHS tapes. We haven’t owned a VCR for several years. Every now and then I’ve come across these VHS tapes and I’ve wanted to preserve them and show them to our kids, some of whom are now adults. The processContinue reading “Making the most of the moment”
