July 23, 2020 Unexpected Loss! My last conversation with Ms. Marilyn was wonderful. She felt good physically and she was in a good place emotionally. Oh, age was taking some toll on her energy as well as her ability to do all the things she used to do. But, there was some real joy and […]

July 16, 2020 Get Uncomfortable! No one wants to get out of their comfort zone. The reason is simple; that place or person or position or process or perspective is comfortable!

July 9, 2020 Make Your Move! Are you ready to make a move? I am not talking about a move to a different house, a different job, or a different city. I am talking about a strategy move, a vision move, a God-sized dream move. Are you ready to make a move? Remember that when […]

July 2, 2020 Nothing’s Normal Now! I hear a lot of people talking about adjusting to the “new normal.” Some refer to the “new normal” with a healthy dose of humor while others address the subject with great dread.

June 25, 2020 You Know Too Much! One of the most dangerous places to be is the place where you know too much. Our daughter was married one month ago this week; it is a joy to see her growing in so many ways at such a rapid pace! She knows she does not know […]

June 18, 2020 Fighting Giants! Growing up, I was too small for my friends. It meant I was often a target for bullying. I remember not wanting to leave the school building at the end of the day for fear I would be beat up. More than a few times, I ran most of the […]
The Forgotten!
June 11, 2020 The Forgotten! It is easy to forget. And, it is easy to feel forgotten. Unless the fear or the sadness or the anger goes soul-deep, it is easy to forget. Unless the joy or the victory or the blessing goes sky-high, it is easy to forget. I fear that in a few […]

June 4, 2020 Protests, Lost Ways, And Love! On Memorial Day, a police officer forcibly put his knee on the neck of George Floyd. The officer’s purpose was to restrain and arrest George.

May 28, 2020 Beauty Unexpected! Cow pies were my primary focus as I walked through the pasture. Well, maybe not my “primary” focus, but certainly they ranked pretty high on my list. Who wants “cow pie” on their dress shoes?!?! I was walking through a pasture in my dress clothes. It was less than one […]

May 21, 2020 I Thought I Had A Stroke! I lost my ability to drink from a glass last week. When I took my first drink each morning, the water would run down my arm and down the front of my shirt. The first couple of times, I thought the water was pouring out of […]
