September 1, 2022 Interesting Questions! I said “Yes!” to something I did not expect this week. I said “Yes!” when a funeral director asked if I would be interested in helping a family who had no pastor. When I went to visit with the funeral director, we both asked lots of questions. It was important […]

August 25, 2022 A Simple Birthday! Last Sunday was my mother’s 91st birthday. My mother lives with the illness called Alzheimer’s.

August 18, 2022 Lost Rhythm! For the last few weeks, I have been listening to instrumental jazz. I listen for 30 minutes or so before I go to sleep each night. The music is reflective and relaxing. The music is inspiring and intriguing. The music speaks to a deep part of something inside of me. […]

August 11, 2022 Unexpected Blessing! We had walked the trail before…several times. It is an easy walk winding behind the neighborhood in which we live before it meanders through a small protected natural area.

July 21, 2022 New And Old Friends! We have lived full time in our home (actually just the basement!) since last Saturday. We attended a church, a Starbucks, and took a few walks. But, what has been most rewarding is meeting new people. We met a young woman who lives in our neighborhood at the […]

Big Decisions! July 14, 2022 I retired on June 30, 2022. I am still not sure I was ready to hang up a 44-year career. But, I did. Maybe the big decisions in life are like that. We can be mostly confident most of the time. But occasionally, there is a twinge of uncertainty that […]

June 30, 2022 Don’t Settle! Several people have asked if we are settled into our new home. Well, there are still contractors working in the house, some of our things are in the garage, some of our things are in the basement, and some of our things are who knows where. We are not settled […]

June 23, 2022 Beyond Now! The Holy Spirit is ready to take you beyond where you are right now. But, here is the trick; you have to be willing to take the path Jesus is leading you down rather than the path you are going down. Just before Jesus was arrested, He prayed in the […]
