life update


to all who read my blog... (all 3 of you. who knows, maybe there are more.)

life has been great! i'm in love more and more each day with my wonderful girlfriend. what a blessing from God. she is an amazing woman!! other things, i am growing as a physician slowly and steadily. i will be a senior resident in just a short month. there is still much to learn, but i am pleased to know that i can handle the situation when a patient is crashing in the middle of the night. do i know it all. NO. big NO! i will never know it all, but i will still grow and develop, and i know how to look things up when there is a question. its fun though. difficult. tough. intimidating. sure. but at the end of the day, when you accomplished something great... whether its saving a life, or helping someone pass on comfortably, while comforting their family... it leaves you with a real satisfaction that you've made a difference.

one thing i do need to grow in, is sharing about God to patients who don't know him. saving a life is temporary... saving a soul is eternal. i don't save souls though. all i can do is tell them about God, and his son... who died for you... not for the world... but for YOU!!!! if the entire world denied him, he would still have died to save you. this is where the meaning is. this is what truly makes your life count... eternally.

Thus my perspective has been colored. Facing life in the midst of these health problems has been the most difficult experience of my life. What I can say about marriage is that I was lied to almost my entire life. God did not invent marriage to "make us happy"... The lie propagated by nearly every facet of American society as a whole. A lie left largely un-refuted by church, or so it seemed to me. "Oh, he makes me so happy!" and then when he doesn't make you happy any longer... "I just don't love him anymore". Divorce then follows. The now single person starts looking for another source of happiness. The cycle repeats, as the broken and imperfect person seeks the wrong remedy. I do not mean to say that you

Bandon Oregon

I first played Bandon Dunes 8 years ago with my college buddies. It was beyond amazing! It was everything one could hope for, just epic! Between the mist, fog, break through sunlight, walks though dunes, pine forest, on the edge of 100’ cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean! It was simply amazing! Since then, I’ve only longed to go bock. Yet, our plans never seemed to gain traction towards  return trip to Bandon. After this 2023 last trip to Jackson Wyoming, I decided to stop waiting on others, and I planned a solo trip to Bandon. Part of being a real fan of golf, I think, involves the enjoyment of golf getting paired with other random golfers. We all share the somewhat of the same love for the game, or we wouldn’t be there. You can talk, but you don’t necessarily have to make conversation. Just talk about the golf, the surroundings, “good shot!” I initially set out for this to be a completely solo trip, just fly out on my own, but my wife ended up having a change of heart and desi
