New Year – New Day – New Life
Well, the months have flown by and the ideas here have sat undisturbed for too long. Time to shake off the cobwebs and move forward. No excuses. Some regrets. Forgiveness asked. Funny how everyday concerns can take your eye off the long pass, the ultimate goal. But that’s how we’re built and thus the beauty Continue reading →
I don’t want to sing a joyful song!
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. – Psalm 100:1 – 2 Today is a crappy day. My stress level has been at capacity for more than a month, I have a nasty cold, I am getting ready to move to a Continue reading →
Do you follow your dreams?
Someone asked the question: “Do you follow your dreams?” Now, it took me a minute to figure out how this was different from following my heart, but I eventually answered. Sadly, the answer is no.

Everyday Grace
It is the little touches that makes the everyday hustle and bustle a little slower, a little softer, and a little less alone. The spiritual side of that phrase is big and bold and life giving. What we do with that in turn is what makes the difference in our lives and in those we Continue reading →
I Have Been Quiet A Long Time
Life is about change. And one thing you can be sure of is that it will happen. It has too me over the past year — I will wait for the historical review to decide whether it has been good or bad. Right now it just is. One of my challenges throughout my life is Continue reading →
