Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

It's Back!

It's back! College football starts this week. That is something I look forward to all year. Unfortunately during the past few years College football has been marred by major institutions violating NCAA laws. The news has been full of reports about Ohio State, Michigan, USC, North Carolina, Miami and others who have broken the laws. There are a few such as Penn State and Stanford that have never faced such charges. As a result there have been numerous jokes made about football at such colleges. Some are funny, some are sad, some are right on. I hope I don't offend your favorite team, but to start the season here are a few that I have heard.
