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 →

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 →
