A Smile

When Patty and I werė visiting with Monte, my friend and brother-in-law, last Sunday, a day before he died from pancreatic cancer, when it seemed obvious that he was getting tired, I stood up and said, " Well, we'd better be going and let you get some rest.” He said, “Thank you for coming, that was a long way to drive for 15 minutes of visiting.” I responded, “I wanted very much to see you one more time before you headed off to heaven.” We made eye contact, he smiled, not a big smile, but a smile, and nodded his head....

My Good Friend

My brother -in-law, and good friend, Monte Pearson, died this last week from Pancreatic cancer. Last Sunday, Patty and I drove up to Trout Lake to see him one last time. We visited for about 30 minutes, reminiscing about the early years of our friendship. The first time I climbed Mt Adams, I was with Monte; the first time I climbed Mt Hood, I was with him as well; the only time I climbed Mt St Helens before it erupted, I was with Monte....

Fishing the John Day River for Smallmouth Bass

Next week, eight of us are driving to the John Day River, putting our rubber pontoon boats in the river near the town of Mitchell, drifting for three days, and fishing for smallmouth bass. We will camp for three nights on the river, eating fish every night. I will have my 13-year-old grandson, Courage, on my boat with me. Over the last 40 years, I have probably done this trip at least 20 times, and I have never gone down it when it was as low as it is this year....

Sufferings

My wife Patty has been having a lot of pain in her hip. She walks with a walker, limping around, grimacing the whole time. I pray for her all day long, especially when I see her in so much obvious pain. Many other people are praying for her as well. God has chosen not to heal Patty up to this point, and He may never heal her....

Someone Pushed my Button

Things happen, and people's words make me feel anger and resentment. I can’t stop that emotional response, but I can learn to keep the emotion from lasting very long or from controlling my thinking and behavior. When we let the emotion of anger or resentment stay with us, we allow our thinking to go round and round, replaying the event or words that caused it, and we become less and less in control of our own lives....

Slowing Down

Several things have gradually changed in me as I have gotten older. Some good and others not so good. The change that irritates me the most is my indecisiveness. I used to think through situations quickly, make a decision, and go to work to carry it out. Even though I made decisions quickly, I rarely made a bad one. I wasn’t paralyzed by a fear of making a wrong choice or of failing....

My Pickup Camper

I am building a camper for my Ford F-150. I have been looking at campers for the last year to buy, but they were too expensive and too heavy. So I bought some plans from the same company that I buy boat plans from. They build everything using lightweight plywood and fiberglass. I worked on it all day today and got most of the roof fiberglassed....

I Am Right

As I grew up on the farm, I used to argue with my Dad a lot. My Dad was a very wise man, and I have no clue why I felt the need to be right about some of the most unimportant things. I carried that argumentative spirit through much of my life, and it embarrasses me to remember some of the verbal sparring matches I got into with people....
