My son and I used to go to NASCAR races at least 2X every year. My favorite driver has retired and I have lost interest but Byron still goes with his friends.

One of the things that makes NASCAR unique is the access fans have to drivers. We have met Mark Martin and Matt Kenseth. What I thought was a look alike turned out to be Richard Petty when he waved at me and my wife as we passed each other behind a grandstand.

It’s pretty easy to get an autograph or even a picture with your favorite driver.

It was during one of those autograph sessions with Dale Earnhart Jr that an interesting encounter took place.

Andrew invites you to join him in taking a "Blue Sky Moment," as we celebrate spring, and new life.

Our office Manager, Kim, tells us about a recent journey on a train, and her discovery along the way.

Wesley Wednesday: Rejoice the Lord Is King PODCAST EDITION by Peakland UMC

My father was a gardner. When I was small he’d have Clyde Hall come to our 1 acre piece of land and plow the backyard with his blade and horse. We’d have corn, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes and other vegetables throughout the summer.

He had a few cherry trees and we’d pick cherries so his mother, who lived across the country road from us, could make cherry cobblers.

Dad had 2 grape vines - one with red grapes with seeds and one with sweet white grapes that were seedless. I loved the white ones.

And he grew roses.

My, how he grew roses.

A clergy colleague posted the following:

The word Hate has 4 letters - so does love.

The word enemies has 7 letters - so does friends.

Lying has 5 letters - so does truth.

Negative has 8 - Positive also has 8.

Under has 5 letters - The word above also has 5 letters.

Cry has 3 letters, so does joy.

You write anger with 5 letters. The same goes for happy.

Right has five letters. So does wrong.

(And) Hurt has 4 letters, just like heal.
