Oklahoma City Bombing, 20 Years On

2 Comments

On April 19, 1995, a truck-bomb explosion outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, left 168 people dead and hundreds more injured. The blast was set off by anti-government militant Timothy McVeigh, who in 2001 was executed for his crimes. His co-conspirator Terry Nichols received life in prison. Until September 11, 2001, the Oklahoma City bombing was the worst terrorist attack to take place on U.S. soil. (From History.com)

In memory of those who perished, in honor of those who live on and may it be a reminder to be vigilant and to never let such things happen again. Grace and peace to everyone today in Oklahoma City, OK.

Things Worth Blogging

Leave a comment

I think if one is paying attention there are a lot of things in life that are blog worthy. A song, a sermon, a tree, a cup of coffee can all be worthy things to post about. It’s up to us to capture those moments, those things that make life special. Your blog is a place to curate the things in life you find sacred, lovely and uniquely you. Be the star of your own blog and share your world and thoughts.

The Old Guy, The Younger Follower, How Does This Work?

5 Comments

I am a middle-aged dork and it always amazes me when I get younger followers. Many of them are like half my age. I am not all that cool y’all. Sometimes my efforts to be relevant come across as being silly or head shaking. Maybe people like genuine people no matter what time of life they are in.

Thanks for your interest and friendship anyway.

We need someone, somebody

Everyone needs someone to help them get through this life. Whether it be human or divine. Life is chaotic and we need to feel the calm and the cool and the peace that can get us through. We need a companion to keep us company.
