I experienced a wildlife park today. It is a very nice place to visit. You will have to watch my RayJReview to get the entire story. In the interim: Science School Teacher who loves animals teaches kids

I am so busy "doing life" that I have little time to share it. I just heard that sigh of relief from some of you ;) I am in love with creators, people who pursue truth, people who put being the

I am having a very difficult time staying focused on my "real" job lately. I had planned a vacation/road trip for March of this year. It didn't happen. I have no room for complaint. I have plenty

I was having a difficult time this morning staying focused on my engineering work. It is good work, I make a good income doing some pretty cool work. But, it is not my favorite activity. My favorite activity

On my walk this morning it hit me that this Steemit blog, as opposed to my "Stumbling Toward God" blog, my YouTube channel and FB posts, is not a purified, processed, refined and filtered version

I often find myself too busy to write about life. Much of my workload is self-inflicted. Much of it is to meet client needs, and pay my bills. I was happy to have had the opportunity to interview with

I did not consider myself a "people person" in my high school and college years. I know it sounds calloused but I didn't understand the value of people and relationships, how they fit into the

I am still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I was mulling over options, thinking about what I enjoy, possibilities, etc. when I remembered a scene from the hilarious movie “Office

We had one set-back after another with our crane building project in Thailand. We were months behind schedule, so many unexpected obstacles had to be overcome. The photo above is of my friend Chamlong.

I had the privilege of meeting, interviewing, and capturing photos and video of Bri Bagwell last night. She writes her own music, plays guitar, sings, entertains the audience and interacts with the band

Part of what keeps me anchored to the important aspects of life is what I capture in photos and video. In many cases I don't even realize what I have captured until I review and edit the images on my computer.

I noticed that my blogs on this trip have been largely food-centric. Food is one of the experiences I enjoy when I visit here, so I guess that is why I write about it so much. Today as I took my walk I

I have been giving more thought to the subject of my theme. I can’t think of that word without remembering the movie “A Christmas Story.” In one scene, the teacher thinks up the worst punishment imaginable

My mom sent me an email a few days back, talking about pursuing a “theme” as opposed to pursuing a “dream.” That statement impressed me, and got me to thinking about the implications. I have struggled

Although raised as a Baptist I later joined a Lutheran church where we routinely recited the nicene creed. The creed specifically states that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. I had believed that

I have been trying to crack "the code" for many years. I know how to make good money as an engineer, and that is fine. However, since the age of 12 my primary passion has been related to photography

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am working with a great team of people here in Thailand. The photo is several of the people in the team, enjoying drinks and dinner on the beach after a long Saturday

I tend to be too negative. I see the pitfalls, potential problems, future struggles, etc. in everything I look at. It is actually an asset when used to plan and execute projects and anything that requires

I just got back onshore, we completed load testing of the equipment. Whew! That is a huge relief. There is still work to be done to tie up the loose ends of the project, but the critical milestone has
