- Have you seen Ken's latest DVD? Ken Davis is "Under the Influence" but it is not what you think! Recorded live in two sold-out shows, this may have been Ken's best performance yet. The entire family will love this DVD! Check it out »
Your frog story reminded of when my son was quite young. Probably about 12 years old. He had caught some frogs in our pond but I refused to cook them so he did. He came downstairs to tell us us how things were going and his little sister ate them all insisting those little chicken legs were really good. He id catch more and finally got to sample some himself. Hope the toes are better now.
Your son is my kind of guy. Loved the story.
You are my personal hygiene hero—now and always.
All too familiar. I have two toes that overlap (very ugly to look at) and when I jog I always get blood if I don’t keep them clipped. However, since I have grandsons – their reaction would be “cool, Papa!” There is a saying, “The difference between good and great is attention to detail.” It applies in all ares of life – toe nails included. Thanks for the reminder, ken.
Sorry about your ear. I will pray that it grows back. (I can sympathize with the riding for long distances in the cold weather.)
Goin 40 mph down a hill on a 30 degree day will snap you to attention!
Wow…well said Ken.
That is gross! But ever so true!!!! As a diabetic we are always reminded to keep our feet healthy. I also remember the scene from “Forest Gump”, were the captian tells Gump and his friend to “keep their feet dry and clean”.
We take our feet too lightly sometimes, we are accostumed to them. The take us where we need to go without thinking. Sometimes, if we have been a Christian for awhile, our faith does the same thing. Then we ignore pain (or a percieved pain as well) and the problem becomes big.
As for you toe Ken. I hope it get’s better soon and that you find the grandkids.
well…I’m thinking tadpoles !!
Frankly the most astounding line is , “I started feeling a dull pain at mile five.” Either you are in better shape than your shape appears or you were ignoring ‘sharp stabbing pains’ up until then.
I am in better shape than my shape appears. I have actually lost 40 lbs and don’t have any pictures of the new shape yet.
We love you Ken – even with the “toe-mane”
I have never heard that euphemism in my life, but wow — I guess one could say that you nailed it. what a picture. Congrats on the run and sorry about your foot.
When we ignore the little things, they turn into big things. That is definately true in my life. Thank you for the reminder. Hope you get better soon.
Hi Ken. I absolutely love your sense of humor! I usually get to listen in the mornings on the way to take my 10 yr old daughter to school and then we process what we have heard and talk about how we can apply it to our daily… sometimes I am laughing so hard that I don’t get to hear the whole piece.
Thank you for helping us get our mornings off to a great start.
God Bless you and your family.

HI Ken, loved the comments. I ate frogs [ coked of course ] as a child that my brothers caught. Mother flowered them and pu them in a iron skilleet with a lid coverind the contents otherwise those frog legs would have jumed out of the skillet. Sounds gross however they were good. Maybe I’m a country hick but we were resourceful. If you walk like a duck quack like a duck. Keep quacking so we can keep laughing. love your humor.Vera
Ken: Wow what a word picture! Take a lesson America, don’t ignore the small stuff. The last time that I ate a frog, it jumped out of the skillet before anyone had a chance to duck. Mom said that it was just reflexes, although I’m not quite so sure. Needless to say, after that event ,my brother ceased gigging. Thank you for helping us to stay one the top side of a dismal world. It’s comforting to know that God is in control. Blessings on your day.
YOU HAVE MOTIVATED ME I WILL TRY ME BEST TO LOSE THIS ALSO
Myy favorite paragraph of the whole story?
“How dumb was this. When will I learn that when we ignore the little things in life, they turn into big things. A neglected hurting toe eventually affects the entire body. It’s true of every area of our life. Too often we neglect to take care of some little issue until it cripples us.”
Too true, Ken.
Dare I say it?……You “nailed” it.
Ken, thanks for the “colorful” (painful to you) reminder! Nothing like a word picture (or in your case a reality check) to drive a point home.
Your toenail missile reminded me of how we teased my sister-in-law to be about how my brother had a toenail collection in his closet. She believed us for a while but having your family member disown you may not be worth it.
Funny but true—I am learning from you….hey that could be on a hallmark card!
