The Right Thing

The Lion's Roar Posted on December 28, 2008 by LarryDecember 28, 2008

I hesitate to put it this way, but I think the truth is I take pride in choosing to do “the right thing” most of the time. There I’ve already set myself up for a fall (Prov 16:18,) but I’ve … Continue reading →

Moments of Truth

The Lion's Roar Posted on December 24, 2008 by LarryDecember 24, 2008

I hesitate to write this, because the players in the drama may read it, and I don’t want to give offense. That sounds like good enough reason not to write it, but I also think it wouldn’t be a bad … Continue reading →

Right and Wrong

The Lion's Roar Posted on December 12, 2008 by LarryDecember 12, 2008

I got an email this morning from Nathan Tabor, former owner of The Conservative Voice (tcv.com) now part of townhall.com.  It said “Merry Christmas,” and not recognizing the name I almost deleted it as spam.  I guess he kept the … Continue reading →

This Is My Life

The Lion's Roar Posted on November 24, 2008 by LarryNovember 24, 2008

This is my life…more valleys
than peaks, but mostly
flat…a barren desert, the
occasional oasis seemingly
unable to sustain life, yet I
live on. I brought myself
here from the green land
of new life and hope,
following crooked paths
chasing mirages that
cannot deliver what they
promise. I feel the burning
heat, but the fires of Hell
itself cannot melt the ice in
my heart. I am traveling
toward the distant
mountain where I might
find rest with my Lord, but
I often lose site of it and
wander aimlessly as time
slips away. If I meet a
fellow traveler, I offer to
show the way and give of

Did You Stay Home?

The Lion's Roar Posted on November 21, 2008 by LarryNovember 21, 2008

In David Limbaugh’s latest column, he notes that Karl Rove claims 4.1 million Republican voters simply stayed home for the 2008 election.  I can certainly understand that.  We were once again presented with a choice between bad and worse.  I … Continue reading →

Thanksgiving 2008

The Lion's Roar Posted on November 19, 2008 by LarryNovember 19, 2008

This is an updated reprint from my old blog that I thought worth saying again. Most people in the United States will celebrate Thanksgiving Day next week.  For an excellent brief history of Thanksgiving, check out this article in The … Continue reading →

Facing Down Facebook

The Lion's Roar Posted on November 16, 2008 by LarryNovember 16, 2008

Thanks to the folks that invited me to join as a friend on Facebook.  I have to tell you though that it is a frustrating site for someone who uses a screen reader.  I’m not sure I could have used … Continue reading →

Turning Gray

The Lion's Roar Posted on March 28, 2008 by LarryMarch 28, 2008

My wife says to me, “you’re getting more distinguished every day.” I’m still not able to see the gray specs unless I enlarge one of the pictures we recently had taken, but my hair isn’t the only thing turning gray. … Continue reading →

Party of One

The Lion's Roar Posted on February 23, 2008 by LarryFebruary 23, 2008

Recently my wife and I went to breakfast on a Sunday morning. As we sat waiting for our table listening for our name to be called I heard, “Lee, party of one.” Maybe it was Leigh. I didn’t see who … Continue reading →

Train of Thought

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 30, 2008 by LarryJanuary 30, 2008

When I leave work at night, I expect to meet at least one person looking for money. Most of us are. In a majority of cases we wouldn’t turn down free money, but we except that we will probably have … Continue reading →
