Things Not Adding Up: Need for Authentic Relationship

Yesterday, I had a God encounter, and it disturbed me... Still does... It was about 95 degrees out, I was comfortably in my car, pulling out of a shopping center parking lot. I was driving slow, as there were various people walking around me. As I was about to make the turn out, I was …

A Father’s Day Retrospective

This is a little late, but still worth the post . Two weeks ago was Father's day. I don't know about all fathers, but for me, sometimes Father's day can be difficult. I don't live with my kids anymore, and they are grown, living their own lives and stuff. When I do see them I often go through …

A Love Like No Other

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends – John 15:13 Where Do We Start Actually we are not going to start where you would think. Typically Easter messages pick up from where Good Friday, the death of Jesus left off, and speak of the good news of …

Becoming Convinced…

word choice Romans 8:38 (NIV) For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I find …

Where does the time go?…

I was going through my posts last night as I was doing some cleanup and organizing on Kid Stuph. It was good for a number of reasons. First, it gave me the opportunity to see where I have been, what my mental and emotional state was like, and how my blogging has (ahem) improved. More …

Moonstruck…

Tonight, the moon was amazing. I was glad I decided to tote my camera to work, even though it sat lonely in the trunk of my car all day. Yet, when it was time to leave, the only thing I could think about was introducing my camera to that bright beautiful orb in the sky. …

Gettin to Know Ya…

I'm such a creature of habit... I'm sure we all are, but I'm really bad at it. So much so, that I don't even have to order at some places... they see me coming and my order is up by the time I come in the door. I realize that I've been that way online …

Nuggets of Gold

Today I had a great conversation with my daughter. We have been so busy, we haven't had one of these talks in weeks... no, months. This was one of those "A to Z" conversations, where we discussed everything from sell-out singers to stuph we did as a family. We also talked about creativity, which, due …

Vegas, the land of dreams

I finally has a brief spot of downtime waiting for the shuttle to whisk me away from the Red Rock resort in Las Vegas to the airport. While I continued to knock out some emails, I decided to do one of my favorite things: people-watch. I looked at people at the slot machines, focused on …
