Still feeling raw from my prayer and musings from yesterday, I sat in my study this morning staring at Psalm 11, the next Psalm in my daily prayer cycle.  David must have been having a similar struggle with real or perceived voices telling him to bail on a situation. “I’ve already taken refuge in the [...]

I’ve almost always been this way.  In fact, it has been suggested at times that I’m more of a rebel than anything.  Be that as it may, status quo has never set well with me.  Maybe I’m the one who likes change for the sake of change.  I doubt it, though. It’s the negative voices [...]

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; naught be all else to me save that Thou art. Thou my best thought in the day and the night; waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Myopia will be the death of me.  I see only the circumstances before me and I’m tempted, sorely tempted, [...]

A friend wrote recently expressing some thoughts and feelings I’ve had of late and face in the many Christian leaders I spend time with on a regular basis. She says it well so I’ll not embellish. God help us in our celebration that we not sound redundant in our insistence that His Son is the [...]

One of our staff sent this to me. It kinda confirms some of my pet peeves of late. Frankly, I fear the church in America is losing its ball in the weeds. Scripture does not tell us to get bent out of shape over second things. I don’t like what I see and hear from [...]

Living outside the US brings a whole new set of challenges that raise our awareness of basics (at least what we call basic). Here’s a small list of collected points of gratitude from various friends who travel away from the comforts of home: 1. Electricity. Electricity available all of the time. 2. Refrigerators.

This came via my email box from my Dad. Seen it before so don’t quite know the origin. Good for a smile. I’ve been piled up with travel and board meeting prep so I’m a bit behind in my writing. I hope to get back into the rhythm of it again soon. ___________________________________________ Finally, answers [...]
