Time is Flying at Breakneck Speed
A full six months have raced by already this year — only 5-1/2 months until Christmas. Whew! Just think about how slowly time went for us in our childhood when we said: “I can’t wait until school is out for the summer”. “How many more days until Christmas?” Or, when we were so in love…
This is Crazy! This is Awesome!
I enjoy reading Bible stories that start out “This is crazy” but end up “This is awesome”. For example, a little shepherd boy with a mere sling and stones, going up against a giant Philistine — wearing the toughest, rock-solid armor ever must have been a “This is crazy” moment, but we know how it…
In God We Trust
Psalm 91 has been my Psalm to live by for many years. It’s my 911 call for daily help for protection for my loved ones and myself. The whole chapter is about “In God We Trust”. Those words took on a whole new meaning when I heard a former paratrooper, now a pastor, speak yesterday…
You Are Now Entering Your Mission Field
I heard the story of someone who had such a heartfelt desire to open a Food Pantry, but it seemed door after door slammed for his great and worthwhile idea. Then he heard someone say “Why are you waiting on all the right answers and all the right buildings and all the right team? Why…

A full six months has raced by already this year. Whew! That makes me think about how fast time flies by for me during this season of my life — compared to my youth when the time went by so slowly for school to end for the summer, or until Christmas would finally get here,…
Time Flies When You’re Having Fun!
I sent an email out on the 30th to announce a business meeting we were having yesterday, Tuesday, July 1st, however I typed June 1st instead of July 1st in the email and on the graphic I made for the event. Maybe I was in denial that a full six months has gone by already…
Lent Means Course Correction
What you may not know about me is that I’m a Private Pilot. So I have a little extra help with the notion of “I believe I can fly”. We had a single engine Cessna 182 – a sweet ride. We logged many hours flying across this great country. Though I haven’t flown in a…
A Roller Coaster Ride is Great….But Sometimes You Just Want to Throw Up!
Early on in my blogging I described our faith journey as a roller coaster ride — twists and turns, and ups and down, and throwing our hands up in the air and enjoying the ride!! But, as a friend shared with recently….roller coaster rides make her want to throw up! And, I’ll admit..I’ve had days…
