If Eternity Is Forever, Am I There Now?
John was in danger of loosing his life and his belongings. The floodwaters had already filled his basement, and three feet of the main floor. John was standing on his porch when a rescue boat came by. “Get in sir.” “No thanks, God will save me.” The rescuers motored off to pick up other residents.… Continue reading One with the road
We sold our home 24 weeks ago, and have been living in a 238 square foot travel trailer for 24 weeks. That’s the way it went down. We drove our truck and trailer to the realtor’s office October 5th for the closing, and drove off with a check. One week earlier we had retired from the workplace. The… Continue reading Teeners and Shufflers
Boca Grande There was only one ask, “Be at the dock by 10:00 am.” “Gee gosh, you mean I have to set an alarm? Punta Gorda is a two hours drive away! Well OK, if I have too.” Getting up early has its rewards. Coincidently my brother Bill and his wife Vicky were vacationing in… Continue reading “Where are we going?” “I dunno, where is your heart leading you?”

To paint a tiny picture of how the TTR model plays out, I have three short stories; Blissology, Gibsonton, and The Tower. Blissology… Continue reading Love, Listen, Discern, Respond
It’s kind of weird/normal having a personal relationship with Jesus. I suppose by some it could be viewed as having an imaginary friend. I use to see it that way. Oh but what a wonderful friend, and tour guide we have. In Sarasota, FL we met up with Ellis and Marcia, several dear friends from… Continue reading Shuffleboard, anyone?
Our third trip on Silver Spring Run offered up rhesus macaque monkeys, how cool is that? We launched from Ray Wayside Landing about 5 miles south of the springs vents. This is also a popular landing for kayak and canoe tours that drop you in the water upstream, and then you drift to a pick up… Continue reading Monkey Business
I’m getting lazy. Retirement just kicked in. All we do is ride bike, walk the beach, hike, dine out, kayak, hike some more, and swim with the manatee. I should have all sorts of time to post little Living in Eternity stories, but I have not done so. Yes, I’m most definitely getting lazy. Silver Springs We… Continue reading I Have Forever

The Salt Springs Run flows for five miles into… Continue reading “Dayo, , , , dayo – Hey mister tally man . . .”
