This week started at the library until midnight Sunday, concentrating on wrapping up the second semester of Hebrew. Some things that happened last week were:
- a high school orchestra concert,
- the cutting of 32 crosstie timbers into 64 4’ sections (with a lot of help from Clark),
- the Christmas decorations in the house have made an appearance,
- and a trip to see the Cameron Park Christmas lights (after picking up some furniture for my daughter).

We had a great Thanksgiving, seeing family and spending time together. This was our first year with a married child in the mix, and it was great. We were finally all together on Sunday, and took a family photo after church in the morning, and before half the people in the picture had to head back to Lubbock.
It was also a great Thanksgiving with my siblings.
Lots of good eating, and the cousins had a blow out air soft war with some capture the flag for four hours on Friday.
We topped everything off by putting up the tree on Saturday.

Wasted Years Restored
Dec 06, 2021
Are you familiar with the song “Bring Christ Your Broken Life?” The words of its first verse go like this:
Bring Christ your broken life
So marred by sin.
He will create anew,
Make whole again.
But, what are we to make of the following stanza?
Your empty wasted years
He will restore,
And your iniquities
Remember no more.

Lanier Theological Library Lectures
Oct 20, 2021
This past weekend we were able to attend another special event at the Lanier Theological Library in Houston while our son and daughter-in-law were home for a visit. The speaker, John Warwick Montgomery, opened a new apologetics lecture series that they intend to carry on for the next few years.
Mark 15:39, Insulting or Revering?
Nov 09, 2020
When the centurion who observes Jesus die says, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15:39 NAS95) we have a statement which can lead to some interesting questions for an inquiring reader. One such important question is whether or not it is meant to be understood as having been spoken in an ironical/mocking way, or in a complementary/reverential way.
