Hi Sweet Friends, Kevin asked me to share my church journey story in a church service a few months ago. I wrote it down and read it because I wanted to be brief and accurate. If left to my own wandering mind, I would have started talking about church, inserted what I would be having… Read More »

​Hi Sweet Friends, Kevin and I recently had a long, introspective discussion about dreaming and purpose and vision. It came from me asking my son, Caleb, a discussion question from a study I had done. I asked him what dream he might pursue if he knew he couldn’t fail.

Hi Sweet Friends, I’ve never broken a blog into two parts before. But let’s be honest, no one should have to take a week of vacation from work to read my blog, so I’m trying to learn to write in bite-size portions instead of the epic trilogies that I usually crank out. Can we just… Read More »

Kevin’s mom took her final breath the night before the rehearsal dinner. She wanted to… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, I’ve had an epiphany. Or apathy. Or appendectomy. Hang on, let me check. …Yep. It’s definitely an epiphany. I’ve been watching a robin bang it’s head on my living room window for three or four weeks. Every day it’s the same routine. While his or her friends are building nests in my… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, I’ve been thinking about sin much as of late. Not mine, of course. I was contemplating the sin of others. You know, the ugly sins. The ones that smell bad. While considering what went wrong in other people’s lives and how to fix them, God suddenly pivoted the floodlight to shine on… Read More »

Hi Sweet Friends, I’m no theologian. In fact, I had to look up how to spell it. But I’ve partaken of several books, dramas, documentaries, articles, and experiences as of late that certainly got my heart and mind reeling. As society shut down because of the coronavirus, many of us turned homeward. For some, like… Read More »
