How King David Would Handle the Boston Marathon Bombing

I wonder, might we as a people be jumping from the slaughter of innocents to our own revenge without the necessary heart-work, and doing business with God? Continue reading

Hey Wes, I've really missed sharing my heart with this blog. Although I currently won't be able to dedicated as much time as I have in the past, it feels good to get some of my thoughts out. Thanks for your encouragement.

Yearning for the Beauty Behind the Beautiful

This is a photograph of Sadie Grace Unkovich that I swiped (with permission) from her mother's Facebook page. This is the very first granddaughter of a very dear friend, and ever since Sadie's birth a few short months ago, I've... Continue reading

Attempting to Understand Suffering Through the Eyes of Job

Job, by Léon Bonnat I need to make a confession: I am stubborn man, and my stubborn pride many times prevents me from quickly learning the things that God would have me learn. I can't begin to tell you how... Continue reading

Pondering the Passing of Another Year

As beings who live within the construct of time, the marking of time is a behavior common to all those who draw breath. To keep track of this thing called time, we have watches, iPhones, computers, the sun, the moon,... Continue reading

Hi Becky, A short scroll down this blog's page will find a great deal of inactivity. When our Roaming Boomers site began to take off, we decided to make a fairly significant investment in that enterprise to see if we might be able to make it a real business. We're still on that journey. As such, because this site was taking 3-4 hours a day, I just couldn't do both. Therefore, we've laid this site in the background until I can get our place in the Internet and social media world sorted out. In the meantime, please tell all your friends about The Roaming Boomers. Word of mouth is always the best form of advertising. Thanks!

Hi Don, We didn't start back up again in 2011. We're currently contemplating the direction of this site. You might want to peek around in the archives, there is a lot of stuff here.

Wes, thank you for your note and concern. With all the energy that is going into our www.theroamingboomers.com online travel magazine, I no longer seem to have the 3-4 hours/day that it takes to maintain the quality of posts that I was accustomed to writing. My relationship with God is still close and strong, but I do miss those very early morning hours in study. It seems that travel, constantly changing time zones, and a variety of factors has thrown me under the bus. Nonetheless, I do have some big plans for this site, I just can't launch them yet. Stay tuned, and I really appreciate your note.

Boy Wes, I sure don't miss that white stuff. Sorry to hear about the unreliability of your MacBook Air. We're still using our MacBook Pro when we travel, and Carol uses it everyday, and we have very little problems. A sticky key, but that is it. Further, I am still gleefully using my iMac to complete our daily postings. Very happy, I am. :)

The Profound Danger of Saying "This is What the Bible Means to Me"

Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the healthy sharing of thoughts and ideas. The danger lies in allowing a sneaky relativism into our belief system. Continue reading
