June 10, 2021 Soul-Home! I may have made a mistake. While our kitchen was being gutted and remodeled, my wife and I decided to do a deep spring cleaning and have a garage sale…for two days on one week-end and two days on another week-end. It sounded like a great idea when we first talked. […]
Soul Pace!

June 3, 2021 Soul Pace! There was a time when I was running early each morning. Then, the joints started complaining…pretty much all the time and pretty loudly. I talked to my doctor and he recommended a different form of exercise. I shifted to riding a stationary bike and walking. Then, I discovered the stationary […]

May 27, 2021 Soul-Identity! Who are you? I mean scrape off all the layers you want others to see and then a few of the layers below that and who are you. Really! Who are you so deep down inside your soul that Jesus is the only other person who has ever seen the real […]
Soul Settled!

May 13, 2021 Soul-Settled! Around 5:00 a.m. most mornings, I embark on about a three mile walk. The walk is my quiet time; a time for exercise and a time for praying out loud. Yes, at 5:00 a.m. you can pray out loud because no one is outside! It’s an intimate time in which I […]

May 13, 2021 Soul-Journey! Last weekend, I joined our community in celebrating the high school graduation of several students. It was a great day; there was lots of energy, lots of excitement, and lots of dreams. I was happy for the students and their families. As I wandered through the crowds at each graduation party, […]

May 6, 2021 Soul Design! Your soul is designed to thrive in an environment of love; a love that is authentic, real, and generous! Our soul requires a love that is more than a romantic feeling. Our soul needs a love that is more than a warm feeling. Our soul longs for a love that […]
Soul Strength!

April 29, 2021 Soul Strength! I don’t like to give up! I don’t like to quit! I don’t like to lose! That kind of tenacious determination and obstinate stubbornness has caused me some heart-ache and some soul-distress. I confess that I have a tendency to rely a little too long and sometimes a little too […]
Soul Chaos!

April 22, 2021 Soul Chaos! I don’t buy into the idea that once you experience the love of God, everything in life will be smooth sailing. My experience is there are moments and even seasons in which our soul finds itself in a kind of chaotic upheaval. For those who believe everything goes well when […]
Soul Friend!

April 15, 2021 Soul Friend! You were made to be in relationships with other people. From the beginning of time the Lord God made it clear; “It is not good that the man should be alone…” (Genesis 2:18). Our heart will never be full, our mind will never be awed, and our soul will never […]
Soul Joy!

April 8, 2021 Soul Joy! You are indispensable! You feel so necessary, so important, and so essential that no one can fill your place at work or at home or on the team. You are so convinced of your role and your value that there is no room left to step back, step aside, or […]
