You Know Too Much!

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 […]

Fighting Giants!

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 […]

Racism, Protests, And Love!

June 4, 2020 Protests, Lost Ways, And Love!

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 […]
