Lord of the Castle

As I was listening to my favorite talk shows today, I learned that the Cumberland River had overrun its banks and that Nashville was flooded. It gradually dawned on me… “Hey, wait a minute…my daughter, Kimba, lives near Nashville.” I texted her to find out if she was all right. She is. However, she did said, ”I really [...]

Let’s see… I’m driving to the airport in the middle of a wind/hail/rain/snow storm… Kimba must be coming into town! When I took her to the airport after last Christmas, it was exactly the same type of weather. It is pretty hairy trying to drive in this kind of weather. As I tried to finish [...]

A few weeks ago, I wrote about one of my alter ego’s (Superdad) recent adventures. The plot ran something like this… Long lost daughter is miraculously found! Joy abounds! Big corporation threatens to bankrupt the family if she attempts to renew her relationships with the members of her family! You can read about it here. I [...]

Since our trip to New Jersey/Philadelphia, my second daughter has been wanting to talk much more these days. to me…to her mother…her little sister…her brother…her big sister… This fact began to dawn on me a few weeks ago when my wife said “I had a long conversation with Kimba last night.” “Oh really? I talked with [...]

I planned to get into Nashville at midnight… But we left NJ an hour late… and I didn’t expect the hours worth of stop and go traffic when we left D.C. … So, we got into Nashville at 2:30 A.M.! This little Nashville diversion all started when I called my second daughter about two weeks ago [...]

I received a call tonight that I didn’t quite know how to react to… My second daughter called me. That is not that unusual. She has called before but it is usually because we need to talk about some really big, important issues. As the conversation got started, I didn’t know quite how to react. In fact, [...]

I have once again been amazed at the goodness of God! In previous posts, I have told you about the dramatic changes that God has been bringing about in my second daughter. As profound as the last big change was, it turned out that it was just the next big step. As a father, I [...]

I had my alarm set for 4:45. However, I woke up at 4:40.  In the midst of a 66° evening, the wind suddenly started howling like it did during tornado season, like God just reached over and turned on a switch. This lasted for about 10 minutes. It worked out fine since I had to [...]

My second daughter gave me the best Christmas present that I have received in years! Back in June, I told you about her dramatic encounter with God. I then told you of her decision to move in with some dear our friends in Nashville to rebuild her life. Most recently, I told you of her visit over [...]

I can’t fully tell this story without making a confession… On many nights, my wife and I sleep in separate rooms… not because my wife is mad at me! No! I am not in the doghouse. It is difficult for her to fall asleep so, since we have chosen to leave our television in the [...]
