Autumn Crappie Fishing

Just a little under two hours of fishing yielded (on a partly sunny and windy day) a couple of bass and 23 Crappie measuring 11.0"-12.5" long. Larry and I enjoy fishing, but when you get a day like today, it doesn't get much better!

Sunset And Autumn Splendor

I saw this beautiful sunset last night while grilling, so I paused a minute to snap it.

I love the Fall and all it's colors...but I hate the next season to follow...Winter...Ah!

Dreamers vs Visionaries...Which Are You?

"The Valley" Galati, Romania

A dreamer thinks what it would be like...

A visionary makes it happen...HAVE A VISION!

One Of My Two Favorite Places

Hey Randy & Teresa...Do you recognize this restaurant?

NO?!

How about Now?

Perhaps?!

I bet you know now?

I even ate a cinnamon roll on your behalf! Yea I know you ate at the Stroud's in Fairway, KS...Same great food, different location!

"Jewell" Of A Tournament

The above photo is with my good friend and former student/athlete at CHS, Paul Worstell. Paul is the head men's/women's tennis coach at William Jewell College in Liberty, MO. I was competing in the William Jewell, Alumni/Friends Tournament at Clayview Country Club in Liberty.

Neighborhood Giants

These are the Elephant Ears that have sprouted in front of our home. I knew they got big but I didn't realize they got this big!

Enthusiam For Christ

I read a devotion some time ago written by Charles Kingsley found in the book, "Walking With Christ Every Day." How true it is for our life every day...

We fan the flames of enthusiasm for Christ, our faith serves as a beacon to others. John Wesley advised, "Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come from miles to watch you burn." His words still ring true.

Our world desperately needs faithful believers who share the Good News of Jesus with joyful exuberance. Be such a believer. The world desperately needs your enthusiasm-now!

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
