Remember the Poor

Today’s post is a podcast. To be honest I don’t feel it today. I have been sick for a few days. However, I know that since I took a sick day Monday and didn’t post that I need to give you addicts something to quell that gnawing in your soul for more Barba. I posted a link yesterday on the Round Up that needs some extra attention. Look down to the Articles section of the Round Up and read the post in Christianity Today. Then take a look at: Galations 2:10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the [...read more and comment...]

I Gotcha

Today’s post is a podcast. On today’s episode we ride the time machine back to a much simpler time. Ok, that’s not true. We’re going back to 2002. I am sharing a story about a man. He was rich in ingenuity but poor in coins. This happened during the time we were building our house. That’s right boys and girls the Barba can swing a hammer, among other things. I was on the roof laying shingles when my dad came to visit. I finished up the stack I had and headed down to see him. Then… …he saved me. Do [...read more and comment...]

Addicted To Purpose

My dad is a fishing addict. He loves to go fishing. He has a sticker on his truck that says “Fish tremble at the sound of my name.” He’s one of those wackos that says it doesn’t even matter if he catches anything. He just likes being out there enjoying the water and nature and free time. Make no mistake though, he loves bringing home a bucket full, too. I think you’ll remember my Granny was a fishing fanatic. If she’s willing to climb barbed wire and ignore the “no trespassing” signs to get at an untouched pond then she’s [...read more and comment...]
