    The refrain of the contemporary hymn His Goodness echos in my thoughts testifying that, despite myself,  “His Goodness continues to run after me” . . . what an amazing omnipotent, all loving, all forgiving God is ours!  This past weekend I was blessed to spend some long overdue catch-up time with my special friend Daryl…

    Since childhood flight has always fascinated me. Dreams of dueling it with the Red Barron in my biplane later morphed into Top Gun in my F/A-18 Super Hornet zooming through the skies blasting enemy pilots. My pilot dreams met reality in the USMC troubleshooting electronics aboard lumbering helicopters, and being awarded hearing aids for my…

    Slime or Divine? Confession . . . I secretly and regularly check in on what my neighbors are up to . . . Relax!!!  I’m referring to my game-cams strewn around our property. Yesterday they captured 5 different feral friends – 1 insect, 3 birds, and Bubba, a hefty male bear frequent guest. According to…

    “Parting is such sweet sorrow” . . . Juliet’s poignant words to Romeo from the balcony echo mine from the Greatland’s snow-capped cathedrals as we pack-up to board high speed aluminum tubing on Monday, soaring through the skies for the Great Smoky Mountains. Lord willing, however, as Arnold often touted . . .  “I’ll be…

    Anthropomorphism – a six syllable term for attributing human motivation, characteristics, or behavior to inanimate objects, animals, or natural phenomena. I wonder . . . are dogs guilty of ‘feralpomorphism’ when we ‘bark’ at them for being disobedient? 😊 Here’s a few Outstanding Wildlife Photography winners I’ve added anthropomorphic captions to that hopefully will evoke…

    “In every walk nature one receives far more than he seeks.” – John Muir Such was my wander today as this trusting little feathered friend brought to mind some comforting passages: “For only a penny you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father’s consent. As for you,…

    I’ve had the privilege of watching the incredible aeronautic skills of the Blue Angels soaring through the skies, vicariously wishing it was me in the cockpit. I’m certain those amazing Navy jet jockeys would be fearfully gripping their joysticks if they knew what this ole Marine ragamuffin was contemplating😊 This morning, listening to the Canadian…

    Rural living precludes urban living’s convenient access to the theater, but Mother Nature featured a free-admission BBB feature . . . Butterflies, Birds and Bears . . . today up here on the mountain – down in the ‘holler’ – over the ‘crick’ 😊 I M Blessed . . . May U B 2 Keep…

    I was in my element today . . . wandering the woods with other turkeys. Wishbone definitely makes a fashion statement, but it doesn’t appear to ‘fowl up’ her relationships with the other girls in her family, or her flamboyant boyfriends 😊 “All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise…

    Some impromptu entertainment performed by some feral forest friends this ‘ole turkey’ enjoyed this morning . . . and there’s no admission charge . . . Be Blessed, and . . . “For every animal of the forest is mine” ….”I know every bird in the mountains” – Psalm 50:10-11 Keep Looking Up . .…
