Matters of Importance
“How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.” James 4:14
The photo above is a story.
I won’t ever forget that day. The day we ascended Mitchel Peak in the Sequoia National Park.
The road to the trailhead is one for the record books. We drove it in the little Toyota Corolla we rented for this particular trip.
This hike was researched by Levi. My son in the photo. He was cast the duty of preparing for our hikes on this epic 15 day journey.

I’ve Never Been Fond of Oligarchs
Facebook bans us. Twitter Bans us. Apple and Google war against us through their app stores. Shopify bans patriots like Warrior Poet Society and President Trump from selling their wares.
Amazon steps up to the plate to swing and knocks Parler out for the count with their server/hosting shutdown.
No More will Jeff Bezos, the founder and Oligarch who owns Amazon enjoy any taking of money from this American citizen.
Today marks a historic day.

F*ck you Facebook
Hi!
Have you read The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck?
You should.
It’s one of the greatest books I have read.
Today, I came home and at 5pm I began dehazing the headlights on the Scion XB.
The 254k miled beast had (note…had) some pretty yellowing headlight plastic.
NOT ANY MORE!

Texas, A Dogman, and When Life Swirls
A few weeks back, I took a trip to the Guadalupe Mountain National Park. I drove the van across country (again).
My son Levi, serving in the USAF had a few days...and it's been far too long since he and I have made a respectable hike.
So I traversed the country to pick him up. We drove another 7 hours to the park and set up camp.

Photography Landscape Settings for Sunrise and The Milky Way at Mammoth Hot Springs
If you know me, you know that there are two things I really enjoy getting photos of. First, is the amazing colors and paint that the Lord uses to show me his artful hand each and every time I see an awesome sunrise or sunset.

A Message from a Waterfall
I had only a few seconds, literally, to get this shot. But a much bigger lesson in the way God’s favor seems to surround me was waiting for me to uncover.

A Fox and The Milky Way At Crazy Creek Campground
On our way to Yellowstone, we stopped at Crazy Creek Campground at the very far northeast entrance to Yellowstone national Park. What a beautiful campground.

Hope for 2021~Is America Over?
Every radical liberals dream. End America as a free society.
So… have these democrats, these Tyrants, ruling states and cities actually won?
It certainly would appear so to the casual observer.
I was thinking today about 2020 as we are on the eve of the New Year.
As 2020 sets on the horizon, 2021 looks to be coming up behind us.
It’s my desire to perhaps give you some hope in this post.
A lot of people have been talking about how 2020 has been hell for them. “It’s been awful” and they are glad it will be behind them.
News Flash folks. I’m sorry to report this, but what you experienced all through 2020 will likely not subside anytime soon. That is unless you make the decision to stop it.
Living with A Tyrant
Over the years I have learned many great lessons. At the top of my list of lessons from the beating that life has handed me is this.
A Tyrant will never, and please allow me to emphasize, NEVER voluntarily relinquish their tyranny over your life.
To be clear, let's define tyranny.
