God is never caught off guard. He is never saying oops. He never looses us in the smoke and haze. He knows exactly where we are at in our lives and in our hearts. He realizes our pain, has it measured, and will use it to grow us. He never punishes and always corrects with love. Sometimes, it feels like the Hammer of Thor falling on us, but He has it measured. He will take us to the edge of the cliff and have us look in sometimes, but he holds our belt so we don’t fall in. Read more

IS IT JOY? I’m not sure where the ‘depth of soul’ comes from. You know the kind, the motivational alert where you reach, seemingly way down into your gut, which results in you doing things you didn’t think you were able to do-or even wanted to do. Maybe that is where the term ‘gut check’ comes from. I don’t know. I can listen…. Music sometimes does that for me. Instrumental music like that penned by David Tolk, or... Read more
Dad, ah-Dad. He, in the middle of our stuff, allows us to dream. Sometimes, those dreams come true far beyond what we, ourselves, could even imagine. Read more

STANDING FIRM I was talking to a friend of mine a week or so ago and we circled back to some people we knew in high school and where are they now. I sometimes can’t remember my own name so remembering people from a half century ago seems like a waste of energy. But my friend can remember names, faces, birthdays, what they were known for and maybe who their History teacher was. And when we started to talk about... Read more
