http://thoughtslist.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-doubt-it.html
Thoughts by Tom Eggebeen. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts." Psalm 139:23. Monday, May 4, 2015.

http://thoughtslist.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-we-do-what-we-do.html
Thoughts by Tom Eggebeen. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts." Psalm 139:23. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Why We Do What We Do. Most of us do what we do most of the time because of hope. Hope that good work, and works that are good, make a difference. Even a small difference. What's good you ask?
