So what happened to the Deja Vu last week? I honestly can’t believe it myself. It was Saturday evening, getting kinda’ late actually, before I realized I had never posted one. Van Til’s Happy Monday post showed a plate of food with a pulled pork sandwich, highlighting the “corn dog” skewers because, you know. That’s what I spent my 4th of July doing. The pic above is half of the leftovers that I reheated for lunch on Sunday. Continue reading

For a day in 2020, our 4th of July turned out pretty well. It’s only our second week back in church so that’s pretty exciting. This is Happy Monday #382. Continue reading

Or maybe you covered biscuits with sausage gravy then drizzled with ketchup. You know who you are 😉

Last Saturday I posted several pics of Father’s Days past, starting with my dad and I and then a through the years collection featuring Johannah and I. I did not say anything about our travel plans (because one should not post online that you are going out of town for several days, advertising publicly that your house will be empty). My wife got to visit family and see her dad on Father’s Day this year. She spent a full week with him and also her brother and his family that came down from Pennsylvania. I arrived on Father’s day and we made it a whole Father’s Day family thing.

He didn’t want to go but we sent Van Til on vacation. Maybe he’ll come back with pictures. Happy Monday will return next week at its regular time. Click this link to browse through the Happy Monday collection. With nearly 400 posts in the archives surely no one has seen them all. Continue reading

Yesterday was Juneteenth. President Trump had planned to hold a rally in Tulsa, OK, on that date but pushed it back one day after outcry over Juneteenth which celebrates the end of slavery in America every June 19th. I didn’t know about Juneteenth until this week, despite having taught American History. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863 but the June 19th date did not become significant until 1865. Slavery was not done away with in the United States until the 13th amendment was passed.
June 19th is a date near and dear to me for another reason. I was saved (or accepted Christ, became a Christian, whatever vocabulary suits your faith tradition) back on June 19, 1988. There’s probably a sermon illustration in there somewhere about salvation, freedom, and no longer being enslaved to sin. You know preachers, anything could be a sermon illustration.
Pink Starburst water, self-driving floor mop, Father’s Day pics after the jump.

The world has gone nuts. I can’t help but feel that without Covid-19, resulting in quarantine and economic shutdown, people would either be at work or busy with summer activities and not have time for some of the foolishness we see right now. I’m not talking about protests or riots. I mean the really wacky stuff: Continue reading
