For those who have lost all hope that spring will arrive…I submit this photo from eastern Lancaster County, PA that spring is in the air - literally! And yes, this pic was taken on my 5K run route. Shew….
Three cheers for the end of the Chevron defense used by federal agencies to defend their over-reach of power! This decision was a huge win for America!
Attending an event at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library! Enjoying recalling the life and legacy of our 40th President!
Memorial Day event at All Saints Church in New Holland, PA this morning - final resting place of my parents and brother. My MC duties this evening in Churchtown were cancelled due to thunderstorms.
Celebrating the covenant baptism of our newest granddaughter Maria Katherine! Born to our son Preston and his wife Katherine in April. She’s well surrounded with love by our growing family!
Sad to learn of the passing of PA State Senator Earl Baker. A dear friend and a wonderful gentleman of faith and leadership excellence. We could use a few more folks like Earl in the public square! RIP dear friend.
Third run this week started out rough, like the Biden-shuffle, but ended strong! Fairly breezy day, but nice temps and beautiful sunshine. A run day that just felt great.
“Decent” 5K run today for winter-level conditions. There are times when I miss the 22 year-old, running me! But, to be out there running at a “bit-older” age is a blessing. Friends, keep charging up those hills!
Thought provoking op-ed by Peggy Noonan in weekend WSJ on Media coverage of the 2024 presidential race. Can the media actually step up and provide coverage this year? It’s an open question!
And then there were ten! Celebrating the baptism of Isaac Edwin Denlinger at our church this morning. Fourth child of our oldest son and his wife. Blessings abound!

A local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1,000 bet.
The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron.
Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money.
Many people had tried over time (weightlifters, longshoremen, etc.) but nobody could do it.
One day a scrawny little man came in, wearing thick glasses and a cheap suit, and said in a tiny, squeaky voice, "I'd like to try the bet."
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said okay, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away.
Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.
But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1,000, and asked the little man, "What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weightlifter, or what?"
The man replied, "I work for the IRS."

Celebrated my (almost) 60th birthday with a steamy hot 4-miler. One seriously hot run, but it felt great. Living a life of gratitude!
Carolyn and I celebrated the baptism of new granddaughter Abigail Mariah with our son Blake, his wife Katie, and big sister Evelyn in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Blake is Senior Pastor of Northwoods Presbyterian Church PCA, a growing ministry in the confessional reformed tradition!
Boot Jack Road near my home village of Churchtown. Thank you, Commissioner! We appreciate this investment at the easternmost end of Lancaster County, PA.
Happy 100th birthday to Henry Kissinger. It’s impossible to encapsulate the impact he had on US policy during the Nixon/Ford years. While he is more of a globalist than I will ever be, Dr. Kissinger’s service to his adopted homeland is respected and appreciated!
I was honored to serve as Master of Ceremonies at last evenings 157th Memorial Day Service in my home village of Churchtown. Our annual event is believed to be the longest continual observance in the nation!
