Feeling lost can be inconvenient but the sun was out. Cool crisp air filled my lungs as my car meandered through some of the sweetest neighborhoods abutting the University of Washington. I had taken a direct route from exercise to keep a tradition. My girls were missing but I sent photos and reminded them that…

Grab the Botox
Aging is shame-based. Why is that? It should be, and is, an honor to grow old and outlast the others. We hate cancer and hate funerals. I keep purchasing sympathy cards. Today I look as good as I ever will. I feel better than I ever will. I can still do things. I even climbed…
Kind of Shaky
Earthquakes do not surprise God – in fact nothing surprises Him. We know that God is over time and sees all. That is usually good news. Most of the biblical references to earthquakes are found in the book of Revelation. Revelation is the final disclosure from God until Jesus comes for a second time. He…
More Ideas
I baked cookies today for the first time in awhile. Baking is also thinking time and it takes time to bake dozens of cookies. We have questions about God and prayer. How is God answering those prayers? Has he forgotten about you or is His answer different than you planned for. Today I also mailed…
Churros
I don’t often write about food but a churro, to me, is filled with happy memories, not cream. A churro is a type of fried dough from Spanish and Portuguese cuisine and is pastry dough piped into hot oil from a star tip piping bag. Afterwards there is a generous sprinkling of sweetness – sugar…
One Testimony
I have been commissioned. Reading Acts 1:1-9, Jesus left this earth on a high and important note. Verse eight reads, “but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of…
God So Loved the World

More Patella Time
I attended a Mission Fest Conference in Bellevue, WA, last week end. There were enough seminars to last a year so I had to be choosey. What were the keynote speakers addressing? There were several mentions that 2033 will be the 2000 year anniversary of Jesus call to us to go everywhere. We have ten…
Lot’s of Ideas
I don’t know which day of the week is best for reflection. Today is a Sunday and I’m pensive. So here it is – a barrage of thoughts from me and others I’ve been listening to. God has two sides Bye bye my sins. Is God forgetful or full of mercy? There are six things…
No Backdoor
There is no backdoor to Heaven. I cannot say for sure but anticipate many surprises in that future. There is one key to the door, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”, Rom 10:13. Years ago a couple of friends set out with a plan to view a drive-in movie….
