Warren Andreasen, K7CWA has passed away after battling a rare disease called IBM. I wanted to post here about him and properly give him a tribute, but I attended his memorial service and delivered a tribute to the attendees, and thought it would be appropriate to post it here. I met Warren in 1995 when […]

I’m in the linux prompt a lot on my ASL3 node. There are some commandsthat I type frequently, and I decided to simplify my life by using Linux’s Alias feature. Go to the root directory using SSH, so in the /root directory, there’s a file called .bashrc.Edit this file and you can put the same […]

On a clean ASL3 image, using WINSCP as is problematic due to the inability to elevate permissions using sudo su. PuTTY and KiTTY have the elevation option in the setup for those apps. The only way to make it work is to log in as root. Here’s a screen shot of my setup in WINSCP: […]

If you have an hour or so to burn, you’ll find this entertaining.I promise, it has a punch line, it’s corny, but it’s the story along the way I found entertaining. Lost in the Desert So, Jack is crawling through the desert in the sand. He’d decided to try out his new SUV in a […]

A friend of mine recalled a story when the family went white water river rafting. “My Daughter Eden was about 10 and our river guide said she could sit on the front of the raft with her feet dangling over. The river was calm so I did not worry, but just as I felt comfortable […]

My Father passed on April 9th 2022 and his Memorial Service was held on April 21st.White’s Chapel United Methodist Church graciously recorded the service and I thought it good to post it here.

Various times in my life I have intersected with the Divine and have had a touch from God. It’s one of his ways of moving in our lives and guiding us to accomplish his purposes. I wanted to start a blog to chronicle some of these things I’ve experienced before I forget them, and also […]

My workplace has sent us a notice that we must get vaccinated by January 5th.Here is my letter to them requesting Religious and/or medical vaccine exemption. To HR Dept. I hereby file a vaccine exemption request based on Religious and Medical grounds. Medical:   I am a member of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Control Group.  I joined […]

Last August my Wife and I spent 8 days in the hospital for Covid. I want to write about it and discuss how I dealt with internally and what I did practically. We are Christian Believers, and I had asked God from the outset to bring me to a place of peace, and cause me […]

Last Wednesday I was at our evening prayer meeting at Church, and the theme was gratitude. I was thinking of how often we grumble over the high cost of things, or complain about the things we don’t have. Seems like every way we turn we see less having to go farther, or things simply being […]

I went to the annual Super bowl Party at the church. I suppose about 30 people showed up, and there was a lot of good snack food. I guessed that there was around 20 guys and about 10 or so ladies in all. So at around the end of the first quarter, the ladies were […]

This is a Two-Part discovery of the role God has for his Church in these days. The first will discuss the general nature of what is happening, so that we won’t be taken off guard and will be prepared. In the 2nd part, we’ll expound on how the Believer can internalize and process events so […]

This is the 2nd part of The Storm, Know what’s coming. Please read the first part first. I’m going to approach the coming events through the perspective of those who see it coming but haven’t a clue how to process it. As this world’s economy and support structure is crumbling, our wallets getting lighter, tempers […]

January 7, 2021 I had a dream last night that a group of people were praying. They were in a small section seated together as if they were a Jury. One would say, “Next up we need rain. All in favor?” and if one didn’t raise their hand, they would deliberate until all were in […]

Thursday Dec. 31, 2020 Well 2020.. it’s been a year like no other hasn’t it? What a ride. Have you been refined through fire? I feel like I have and I believe this is what this shaking is about. For everything that’s happened in this world, I’ve been looking at events through the filter of […]

October 10, 2020 Many have been talking about hearing various pastors and Prophets talking about a coming revival. This has been echoed in Churches, on religious air broadcasts, and just about anywhere the current state of Christianity is discussed. Many of us just seem to be waiting for God to start something where we are, […]

I’ve been musing about the intentions of people that would say they know God, but are always trying to muddy the faith. Someone recently said to me, “There’s good and evil in God, otherwise you can’t justify all the wars in the Old Testament.” Most Christians really don’t know the Word, only what others have […]

September 25, 2016 In light of the escalating violence in our country, I’d like to add a perspective that I’ve been thinking about and see if it resonates in anyone else. It has to do with Jesus words recorded in the Gospels.  Jesus’ teachings of the Golden Rule, the greatest and second greatest commandments, and […]

On Monday evening the 14th of April, a group of us climbed to the top of a hill at CCV church in Peoria to view and take pictures of the lunar eclipse.We also met with God, read scripture, prayed and had communion. It was a truly blessed time.  You may or may not know the […]

April 29, 2014 This morning I was reflecting on a concept that literally was a breakthrough in my walk with the Lord that I learned a few weeks ago at Tres Dias. I thought I’d share it here.   All my life I’ve been taught about the grace of God that Jesus’s blood on the cross […]
