Yesterday, I celebrated my 86th birthday, marking the end of my 85th year. It’s a strange feeling, this journey of aging. I can’t help but reflect on the past and look forward to the future. Birthdays are interesting. When we are born, we are 0. Then, on the anniversary of our birth, we celebrate one yearContinue reading “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, YESTERDAY!”

A READING PLAN FOR 2024
MY BOOK SORTING JOURNEY A stack of books overflowed my seating area. There were books stacked on the table next to my recliner. There were books stuck under the TV in the TV cabinet. Some more books under the bookshelves in the living room. Oh, and books in the drawers under the coffee bar. SoContinue reading “A READING PLAN FOR 2024”
Time to Catch up

Friendship
I’m thinking about friendship today. I rehearsed in my mind the friends we have. Of course, there many of you are in the group picture. But first, let’s think for a few moments about how you get to know anyone. For example, you could stop by my office if you wanted to get to knowContinue reading “Friendship”
Where is Your Journey Taking You?
A close friend, Ekkehard Koch, asked me, “Where is your journey taking you?” He also included a book he was reading to expand his spiritual territory in his comments. Books I’m Reading So, I’ll start with what I’m reading. I was an advanced reader and endorser for a book by Rene Chehardy, Forged: From ToxicityContinue reading “Where is Your Journey Taking You?”
Take a Knee
I’d forgotten, until recently, about this “Take A Knee” piece that I read a couple years ago. Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. If you don’t know where that is, just Google it from the sidelines. Hold a musket ball in your fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking aContinue reading “Take a Knee”
What are you doing in Alaska?
Our connection to Alaska began in 1991. Tanya’s sister, Melanie, her husband, JD, and Syble, Tanya, and Melanie’s mom caravaned two vehicles from Texas to Glennallen, Alaska. They, JD and Melanie, had accepted positions as teachers. Tanya and I flew up for a two-week vacation at the end of their first year. In 1993, weContinue reading “What are you doing in Alaska?”
CLEANSING THE TEMPLE For the Holy Habitation of God!
The cleansing of the temple by Hezekiah and Josiah are significant events in the history of the Israelites. They are recorded in the Old Testament in 2 Chronicles 29-31, for Hezekiah and 2 Kings 22-23, for Josiah. The event occurred during Hezekiah and Josiah’s reigns, two of the most righteous kings of Judah. The cleansingContinue reading “CLEANSING THE TEMPLE For the Holy Habitation of God!”
DWELL IN UNITY
Psalms 133:1-3 TPT How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity! It’s as precious as the sacred scented oil flowing from the head of the high priest Aaron, dripping down upon his beard and running all the way down to the hem of his priestly robes. ThisContinue reading “DWELL IN UNITY”
IF IT’S NOT YOUR MONKEY, WHY ARE YOU FEEDING IT?
Yesterday I received a video from a friend. It was three hours and ten minutes long. I watched a brief part of it, mainly the introduction. I’m constantly receiving videos and posts of various content. And I admit I send videos and posts to folks I think they would like/benefit/enjoy/ whatever. I really do appreciateContinue reading “IF IT’S NOT YOUR MONKEY, WHY ARE YOU FEEDING IT?”
