Fish Tacos!
I wonder who first thought of fish tacos? I certainly never would have. In fact, I was reluctant to taste them, and only did when a friend offered me a bite of his. Now, I love them. The best ones I have ever eaten come from the Spikehorn at Houghton…
Coming Back and Catching Up
All of a sudden, I have four baptisms and one memorial service scheduled over the summer! And when I look more closely at my notes, I realize there are an additional six families discussing baptisms. My wife is supposed to start physical therapy for…
Science
If there is anything we have learned through this pandemic, it is the value of science. Look at how quickly the vaccines were developed and produced – and how effective they are! Look at how we are able to identify variants to the infection. Look at…
The 4 C’s
While I, perhaps dangerously, assume that everyone has heard of the 3 R’s of education – which for at least a couple obvious reasons never included spelling – I am not sure everyone has heard me talk about the 4 C’s. I have, though, been sharing them…
What’s Up!
Things actually started on Tuesday. Art, who is serving our country in Kuwait, hooked me up with WhatsApp. We made plans for him to join our men’s FHL group the following morning. Wednesday morning, checking on the Tiger’s late night game as I got up,…

Sunny, but Cool
Last night was a beautiful evening, and I was SO ready for it. I sat on our deck while barbequing some fish and enjoying a little refreshment. Yes, I would have preferred the air to have been 20-30 degrees warmer. But there was no breeze, along with…
Talking about a Forbidden Topic
MONEY. There, the word is out there … the topic that no-one likes to talk about … especially when it comes to talking about their own! It is easier to talk about the government’s money, or that of my rich neighbor (who is my neighbor, anyway?). But I…
Cold!
The average high temperature in Eastpointe for April 22 is 60 degrees, with the average low around 42o. However, our highs the last two days have been at or below the average low – which of course means that the lows are south of 30o. And what did you…
One Up, One Down
How about those Tigers! They bounced right back from getting swept in Cleveland, and immediately made their own impressive "brooming" of Houston. Pitching … hitting … runs galore. It got a little dicey in the ninth inning last night, but Garcia struck…
