33.25
Thirty three and a quarter years ago today, Wes and I were married in SanFrancisco. The glow we had that 4th day of February truly was the glow of love, but it was also the glow of a high fever — a fever that led us to go to the doctor for meds and a […]...

Living Long
Living long. I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I’ve been wondering to my self: what would I be doing today if I had been living long for the last thirty-some-odd years?

Springtime… seasons
The lacy green leaves are slowly appearing and daffodils are beginning to bloom around the old willow tree. Isn’t it an awesome wonder: Every year, every passing season, has its marvelous reminders of the lavish mercy and everlasting kindness of the Lord.

The Love of the Truth
Can you believe we’re living in these days? That in the history of the world — His-story — we’re alive in these days! Remarkable! Truly remarkable!

So, why does stuff happen?
Do you find yourself asking the “why did that happen?” question? Why in the world did that happen? Or, why did this happen to me? Or, how could this have happened?

Don’t send opportunity away
What do you have in your hand? Are you wanting to send opportunity away? Most of the time, that’s the basis for our willingness to obey the Lord… our willingness to obey or our willingness to serve is based on what we’ve got in our hand or what we think we can do. Our […]...

And then… the Truth will come
Today’s mess news: Eyes on Wisconsin… then keep ’em open toward DC, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, California — and Idaho. Just keep watching… this looks to be the groundswell of a massive eruption, an avalanche of chaos and destruction. Omy, it’s just so incredible to be alive during this time in history. I frequently find myself […]...

Be ye not troubled
Reading today in the Word… Over a cup of coffee with you. Mark 13 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and […]...
