All of us on Christmas Day.
No telling what I may write about. But, hopefully whatever it is will be beneficial to those reading.
The passions behind this blog
Everyone is passionate about something. Who I am and who I am becoming as a man, a husband, a father, grandfather, retired pastor, leader and Christ-follower all work together to shape my passions.
If I think I've got some wisdom or insight to share, I'll share it. If I have a question to ask, I'll ask it. If something in the news strikes me I may comment on it. I won't shy away from controversy, but neither will I tolerate what we call in the south "ugly" behavior in readers' comments.
If you enjoy it, great! Glad to have you along. If you don't, that's OK, too. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Rick ...what is the meaning behind "Trunk or Treat"? Our church is planning something similar for this Halloween and I was wondering if I could pick your brain?
Hi Kevin,
The church shows up with tons of candy and everyone dispenses it from the "trunks" of their cars. Here we all decorate our vehicles with some kind of harmless theme and most of us wear costumes of some kind.
So it's essentially a "one stop trick or treat" bridging event to the community. We also do hot dogs and sodas. This year we're ramping it up with some other things as well, even some give aways to parents.
Ultimately it's a way of showing the community that we love kids and they are all welcome here.
Thanks for the information Rick! I love the idea of "Trunk or Treat!" but because of weather conditions we are forced to be inside. Not all of us can live in the south ;-)
Google "Trunk or Treat" and you'll get lots to look at. Also, check out our website: trunkortreatobx.com
Just curious, Kevin.
Where you live do you trick or treat indoors or outdoors?
If you trick or treat outside, what's the difference? If people can sit for 4 hours at a football stadium in December freezing, why couldn't they sit outside for a couple of hours in October?
Just wondering.
And Kevin,
If it really is too cold, use your creativity and find a way to do it indoors.
It's not that it's just cold . . . . it is pouring RAIN!! I live in a rainforest. :-) We are defintely bound to doing something inside.
This is going to be our first attempt at something like this and as far as I know no one else in our community is doing anything similar on Halloween. Our purpose is to continue to reach out to the families of our community.
I haven't checked out the website trunkortreatbx.com yet but I am going to in order to get the creative juices flowing! Thanks for your responses!
