MEUS BONUS PARS: October 2009
http://meusbonuspars.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. I very much enjoy the writings of Donald Miller. I am proud to be one of the few people who actually bought. Searching for God Knows What. Yes, he has written quite a bit since. Last week I finished reading his newest book,. A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. Growing up, I was always taught that the most important thing a Christian is to do is make more Christians. But, how can I convince someone else of something if I have so many unanswered questions about it myself? Okay, s...

MEUS BONUS PARS: March 2010
http://meusbonuspars.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. 8230;about 39¢ at the Kodak photo kiosk. On a two hour expedition, it is a treat to see one or two of the exquisite mammals. On this particular outing, we were privileged to follow three whales for over an hour. Seeing the Gray Whales fluke (a dive fully exposing the large, powerful tail) is also no guarantee. We saw the trio fluking more than half a dozen times. Experience, my perceived reality. I want to immortalize. But, sharing my photos with you, providing a soundtrack, simul...

MEUS BONUS PARS: Aurora
http://meusbonuspars.blogspot.com/2012/01/aurora.html
Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Well, I can do that all by myself. No opponent necessary. Emotionally speaking, I don't know which I find more frightening: feeling entirely empty or overwhelmingly full. I suppose it depends a good deal on with what I'm filled. On this particular occasion, I felt both empty and full. Is that even possible? To feel completely full up with more negative emotion than one can handle and to feel completely empty in spite of it? Or, did I feel completely empty because. Unfortunate...

MEUS BONUS PARS: December 2009
http://meusbonuspars.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. 10 9 8. 7. 6. A friend from years gone by posted this statement today on a social networking site…. Dear 2009: We are so over. You've been the most miserable year of my life. You lied to me, stole from me, and betrayed me. Worst of all, you shattered my heart without once looking back. But you know what? You will never destroy me because I am strength personified. Don't let my door smack you in the ass as you leave- good riddance! Resolve and subsequent discipline? I am seldo...

MEUS BONUS PARS: November 2009
http://meusbonuspars.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. James and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Now, I understand that in the grand scheme of life, this is by no means tragic. However, in moments like these, when the excitement of actually getting away—the urgency I feel deep inside to escape to adventure is so palpable I can almost hear the movie score in my head, I have to tell you, I wasn’t taking it so well. IT’S A TRAP! I drive back to the retailer (whose name I dare not type three times in one post). Three...

MEUS BONUS PARS: Get the "lead" out
http://meusbonuspars.blogspot.com/2010/08/get-lead-out.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Get the "lead" out. It’s been a while since my last post. Sorry about that. This has been an extremely busy summer. Among other things, my family and I moved from the valley to a home in the nearby mountains—which, consequently, leads me to my thought for the day. A couple of weeks ago, early on a Sunday morning, we were driving “down the hill” and, as is often the case, we found ourselves in a winding line of cars accordioned together by a slow vehicle in the lead. The driver...
