The doc is out there: March 2009
http://drirck.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. Doctor doctor doctor; is the doc in? All thought about in the fashion of Catch 22 or Major Major Major. I should be ecstatic, however, my unbridled enthusiasm is severely tempered by the requirement to get up at 6 am and drive 30 miles one way for the appointment; then to have the joy of various bodily fluid samples required on demand. Why is visiting with the medical profession such a stressful and often humiliating occasion? Labels: reflections in a puddle. Life is like that.

Monday, August 23, 2010. Wow, I cannot belive it has been so long since I blogged. It has indeed been many months, almost eight, since I last blogged. Times have been difficult over the last eight months. Many concerns and prayers for self, family, and friends. So I will provide a quick run down of the news from Burton, TX. April - Great news n that we found our church home, Bethany Christian Church, right next door to us. June - Heatherly and girls came to visit, which was a great high point. Also w...

Sunday, August 23, 2009. Rambling on from the ramble no more one, hopefully. Wow, it seems so long but so fast since I last blogged. We are in the new abode, and loving it. Hopefully the rambling days. Are over, at least for now. We have been getting slowly adjusted to new climate, in two words, hot and humid, it can be sufficiently summed up. Whereas, Sumas, WA was cool and damp. I personally prefer the hot and humid. Our other big adventure is finding a church home. We have been surprised to learn ...

The doc is out there: February 2009

Saturday, February 28, 2009. Apple and a Psalm a day. I believe in the value of eating fruit, and some what believe in the truth of "an apple day keeps the doctor away." Okay, it helps that I happen to like apples. I also believe even more fully in the value of daily devotional, bible reading, time alone in prayer with God, and time with my beloved wife in prayer. This I can identify with, and I am sure, many others can as well. At this time in my life Psalm 90. Seems a fair appraisal of the situation, a...

The doc is out there: January 2009

Sunday, January 25, 2009. Lately I have been giving serious consideration to taking the big plunge into a second semi-retirement - retiring from the USAF and then becoming a prof was my first semi-retirement. Oh, I also decided to start using capitalization as appropriate. When I was in the USN we used 100 wpm (words per minute) teletypes which only had capital letters. Not having to worry about capitalization facilitates faster typing, but hey, I will go back to the flow and cap as I go. Personally I fe...

The doc is out there: Update time
http://drirck.blogspot.com/2010/01/update-time.html
Saturday, January 2, 2010. First of the New Year and time for resolutions? I seldom make resolutions anymore as too many times in the past I broke my resolutions. So, I suppose somewhere along the timeline I resolved to not make resolutions. However, I do like to continually update my life, that is, look at where I have been and what I am doing to see how I might improve. So, it is now update time. Time to update this blog and perhaps other things in my life. Big priority is finding the right church home...

Sunday, April 12, 2009. We expect, or at least hope, that Easter Sunday will be a day full of sunshine. This equates with the day that the Son shines bright in our life. Alas, here in the rainy Pacific Northwest, it is raining at 7:30 am this Easter morning, and has been raining all night. It should not surprise me that, this is the weather; but somehow it seems to take away from Easter or maybe not. So celebrate; whatever rain and gloom might be in your life, eventually, just as here this morning in the...

Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Teaching, I just could not have said it better! Such bright stars, who shine in the darkness, but will the darkness notice them? Dune Lark has said it well. Labels: the teaching life (is it the same as the good life? So, what is there about waiting that is so hard? Why do I feel stuck in an old rerun of the Twilight Zone? Is anyone out there? Help, please find us and take us out of this Waiting Zone. Labels: starts and falters. Monday, June 1, 2009. Hakiu on the move. Surrounded...

Monday, October 25, 2010. Praise Time Psalm 47. 1Clap your hands, all you nations;. Shout to God with cries of joy. 2How awesome is the LORD Most High,. The great King over all the earth! My goodness, well I really should honestly say, Lord’s goodness. Time has passed and the Lord has done so much. Praise number one: I recently had my four-month checkup and my PSA. Praise number two: Linda had a follow up ultrasound and the cysts are still not a problem. 1God is our refuge and strength,. Thoughts from a ...
