Lead On Slowly!

May 14, 2020 May 14, 2020 Lead On Slowly! My wife and I were in a big hurry to plant our vegetable and flower gardens this year. It probably had to do with a rather severe case of boredom with all the social distancing we are doing these days. Although we know that where we […]
It’s A Pressure Cooker!

May 7, 2020 It’s A Pressure Cooker! I was doing some cooking a few days ago, when I noticed something felt wrong with our pressure cooker. As I lifted the pot filled with water, the handle seemed to bend under the weight inside. Normally, the pressure inside the pressure cooker is the focus of the […]
Morning Walks!

April 30, 2020 Morning Walks! My wife and I are both working from home these days. We are doing lots of Zoom meetings, many more phone calls, and have set up two offices in a house that does not have an office space. It’s going pretty well, but we continue to make adjustments in our […]
No Regrets!

April 23, 2020 No Regrets! My initial thought was; “This can’t be good!” As I began to skim over the email from my attorney, I was quickly relieved. I was being invited to consider (or re-consider!) some estate planning items in light of everything that is changing because of the Covid-19 virus. The good news […]
Lifted Too High!

April 16, 2020 My wife and I were out for a walk last week when we encountered a family playing ball in their front. It’s one of the good things I am seeing in the midst of our “shelter-in-place” response to the Covid-19 virus. Families are spending time playing and praying together as well as […]
A Little Solitude!

April 9, 2020 I have had enough of this “social distancing” and “sheltering at home.” I am isolated except for all the digital communication platforms. A month ago, I heard almost no one mention a “Zoom Meeting.” Today, it is a frequent part of our conversations. People are emailing more, texting more, calling more, FaceTiming […]
Polarization!

May 16, 2019 It does not matter if you look at politics at the highest level, business at the most profitable level, or athletics at the most skilled level. We see the same trend; there is a dramatic increase in polarization! The world-wide United Methodist Church is just as much a part of this trend […]
The Least!

March 28, 2019 It does not take much to feel like one of the least; a parent dies, a cancer starts, a child rebels, a job struggles, a depression overwhelms, a dream explodes, a marriage struggles, a market drops, or a flood rages! Where once I felt strong and courageous, I now feel weak and […]
Accidents And Adversaries!

August 23, 2018 I don’t believe much in luck. Most all of the good things that have come my way have been the result of lots of hard work or an undeserved and unimaginable download of Jesus’ blessings. I have witnessed the intervention of the Holy Spirit, the healing of Jesus, and the unexpected provision […]
