The Olympics are a perfect time to get bleary eyed, trying to watch all events of the what - eight week - events.

Taking a technological step

I'm from northeast Missouri and been a writer for years, including 30+ for a small weekly newspaper. I'm reluctantly entering the technological age. Be watching for writings of what I see as humor, with times to inform only. I'll break in slowly. Stay tuned, and unlike other social media, I'm not going to post every time I put on my shoes, go grocery shopping, or take a shower.

Along unrelated recent job posts, I'm in the process of publishing a compilation of family stories, I expect there to be news on this front in the coming months. Stay tuned.

Also, I still pastor Southern Baptist Fellowship Church in Wayland, Mo.

I have changed secular jobs and am now a desk clerk at Canton, Mo Comfort Inn.
