So far, 2026 looks plenty blank. I like fresh, new things. I’ve entered important birthdays but not the two vacations I’m still tweaking. The theme is ABIDE. I’m planning to paint a sign, like a quilt of patchwork, to commemorate my desire to conform in the presence of God. I’m not too old for change…

Understandable
This title is misleading because The Trinity is hard to fathom. We interpret and guess then write about it. I won’t bore you with my ramblings but will here summarize a good read from September 2025 in the publication, ‘Our Daily Bread’. Most of this is condensed but no quotation marks on parts I’ve quoted….
Have You Taken the Test?
Recently someone asked me if I knew what my Meyer-Briggs is. I know what it was in 2022 as I prepared to move abroad and a missions agency wanted to know more about me. I have been targeted from my profile and missions connections to receive important information on the status of the church around…
Opulent 80’s
During the 80’s I began single, then married, had two adorable children, started a successful business, and lived a big life. Hair and Christmases were big too. If you are of a certain age you know what I mean. The celebrations, church programs, big trees, bigger trees, origin of icicle lights, and the best wrapping…
Getting Back to It
Not a drop or a dribble – Not a bite or a nibble I like new beginnings. I was talking to myself before I got out of bed, which was miserable. Hardly any sleep and I’m heading out on a plane tomorrow morning. I struggle with discipline when the temptations mount and the trigger is…
Instead
Instead of meeting Jesus at church, live with Him in our homes and bring Him to church.
Uncle Zecharias
Jesus had an earthly family including Uncle Zecharias. His uncle believed in Jesus as being more than a nephew because of his own experience with the miraculous. We know Zecharias tracked his son, John the Baptist, and probably stood on his tippy toes to follow Jesus activity. How remarkable to be so close. We look…
Theory of Everything
I admit that I am a science geek. After a 16 minute clip on expanding particles/fields/fermions/bosons, some which pile up and others that can’t stack, the brilliant Cambridge physicist admits that the mathematically consistent ‘Standard Model of Particle Physics’ is missing something. The recent model is tested but all admit that there is something beyond…
Not Terrified
God listens. Today I’m remembering Moses and the escape from Egypt. This will be a brief telling but I think I would be terrified to see the mighty hand of God opposing an earthly leader in such a decisive display. God showed His power over many obstacles like; a stick, snake, a river turned to…
Just Do the Dishes
Gen 5:21-24 “Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he WAS not, for God took him.” What do we do in…
