Father/Son Retreat

…We drove to Petersburg, Kentucky.  Stopped along the way at Joyce Kilmer memorial forest.  We stayed in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.  We visited the museum, travelled around the area, got to see a nuclear power plant up close.  Ate too many cheeseburgers, and took advantage of the hotel’s free breakfasts.

Making Prayer a Priority by Melanie Robbins

God answered my son’s prayer for a $85 dollar Lego set with a YES. He found 70 dollars on the ground and with that and what he had in spending and recycling money he was within one dollar of the amount he needed. God showed Nathan that He definitely cares about him (my son is a thinker, he asks questions and wants proof), that He

Defense in Depth

It is an Information Assurance concept strategy in which multiple layers of defense are placed throughout an information technology system.  It addresses vulnerabilities in personnel, technology, and operation for the duration of the system’s life.

Terrible to Terrific Tuesday

“Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.” ~ quote from my daily desk calendar “If Everything is Coming Your Way You’re in the Wrong Lane.” I’ve almost found solace in coffee or chocolate 50 times and it’s just 2
