These are the random ruminations of a man on the run. The goal is to run this race of life well, encouraging as many as I can along the way, and to eventually meet my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and thank Him for the trip. (I am also prone to shamelessly brag on my perfect grandchildren.)
“If a man can beat you, walk him.” _Satchel Paige, Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher

“I’ll pass” is a perfectly acceptable response. So is, “No thank you.”
It’s okay to lose battles that are not worth winning anyway and there’s no immutable law written that obligates you to succeed at everything or fill every waking moment of your life with “productive activities.”
The ONE THING for today:
Pick a few things you can win at and walk the rest.

These are the random musings of a man whose goal is to make Jesus the paramount pursuit of my life who, while in this effort, is writing down a few lessons I've learned along the way. You'll have to decide if they are worth heeding but at least you may learn a few things not to do.

Good advise as always Pastor Kemp. We will never forget FIDO, forget it and drive on……love to you Joe & Ann
Hey my dear and dearly loved “saints”! While I stand by my FIDO philosophy for those irritating circumstances in life, there are some things (and people) that I never want to forget…even if I have to drive on. You two are at the top of that special memories list.

Taking small steps in the family and in the church to guide children and youth toward adulthood with the goal of continuing strong relationships with God and their family.
