My Sister Marsha - The Bravest Person I Know

  I want to write about one of the bravest people I know and one of the people I admire most in my life. Her name is Marsha. She is my sister. Not by blood but by heart.   Her youngest brother and I were college dorm mates and we became fast friends.   I was far away from my home island living in Utah.   Because of costs I could not travel home for the holidays and vacations. So his family kind of adopted me in many ways. It has been one of the great blessings of my life. This is how I met... Read Full Story

Life Just Ain't What It Used To Be

Over the last fifty years or so we have invented all sorts of time saving strategies that have some how managed to leave us with the greatest time deficit ever experienced by man. Few people live on farms any more where labor is from daylight to after dark. We don't even work in factories today. No. Modern society runs on the service industry from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  How misleading! Why is there no time to sit on the porch and just enjoy God's nature? Oh, yeah... right. Most houses have no... Read Full Story

Hollywood: HBO Still In The Dark About GOOD Programming

If it's not enough already that we get blasted daily with the blatant sexual content, harsh language and anti-semitic programming, HBO is taking "smut" to a new level. Read the full article HERE from the Media Research Center. HBO will begin airing a new "breakthrough" show, delving into the realm of pornography in "Tell Me You Love Me.” The show will incorporate the personal relationships and sex lives of four committed couples – in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and even in their 60s. Basically, a... Read Full Story

The day I died – Part two

A half a minute latter I woke up surrounded by doctors and nurses. Someone in the room said, “Had they called it?” When that nurse saw that I was conscious she said “Oh I meant had we called code blue.” This of course was a fib because all the nurses and doctors were all ready there. Believe me there is not much scarier than waking up in the emergency room hearing that. My heart had stopped for half a minute, which seems like a short time but to a cardiologist that is a very long time. I wish... Read Full Story

The day I died – Part Four

After they finished the oblation procedure they sent me back up to my room in the hospital. I called my wife Joy who was unable to come and see me because she did not at the time have a driver’s license. It was a very trying time for me but how much more for my precious wife and my two very young children. Joy was stuck at home with a child who was just about to turn three in a few days and another who was only ten months old. I knew that if I died my children who not have any memories of...

The day I died – Part Three

I did not have a heart attack but I had an irregular heartbeat. For some reason my heart has an extra beat and my heart rate varies from 55 to 120 back and forth. This is the condition from which the Reverend Jerry Farwell died this year. After a stay over night at Norwood Hospital I was shipped of to St. Elizabeth’s in Boston. They had to determine if I needed a pacemaker or not. The whole Idea was quit scary but my thoughts were not on me but what would happen to my wife and children if I... Read Full Story

The day I died – Part One

Three years ago this last December I died. I know you are wondering am I blogging from the other side? Fortunately I am back alive at least for today, and I have to trust God one day at a time for every breath and for every heartbeat. It gives you a whole new outlook on life. One December day early in the month I was at my work sitting in my cube when I started to feel heaviness on my chest. It felt like my child was sitting on my chest. I walked up to my boss and asked if it was okay if I... Read Full Story

Being a Dad

A little over 6 years ago my world got turned upside down. I became the proud parent of a bouncing baby girl named Leona. A little over two years latter my second bundle of joy Angelina (Angel) was born. Life became a line from the Charles Dickens Classic a Tale of Two Cities. “It was the best of times it was the worst of times.” Being a father was the most exciting and fulfilling adventure I had ever embarked on. It was also the most challenging and frustrating one as well. Dirty diapers... Read Full Story
