Of course, some rule it out as fiction, and some […]

As we leave 2021, I thought I would take the opportunity to do a little inventory about what I want and what I hope for in the year ahead. I won’t call these New Year’s resolutions because those often have a way of falling off my radar by mid-March and I’d like to work with […]

More Possibility Please

I believe in possibility! You do too! I know that because human beings were given a spirit of possibility from the One who designed them. God knew we would run out of steam. He knew we would lose sometimes. He knew we would need a way to come back and so He confirmed this. With […]

Gratitude and Pumpkin Pie

There are two things about our feast-filled holiday called Thanksgiving that always make my heart do a happy dance. One of them is the idea that people everywhere, regardless of life philosophy, religious affiliation, or even political persuasion can come together and agree on one thing. We all have a lot to be grateful for! […]

Yup! I’m Grateful!

When things nose dive all around you and don’t bounce back quickly, you might wonder if anything will ever feel right again. You look out at the world and all you can see is the calamity and chaos. Your friends have suffered setbacks, your kids can’t play sports, your bank account is dwindling. So what […]
