I recall the convo pretty vividly. About seven years back. He called while I was at the bank; I stepped over to the side of the building, Sat down against the brick wall to chat. I was On speakerphone; Kathy, Pat’s wife was with him in the car. Yep, think this was the first time …

Why scribble down upon first awake? Why not…? Short View: Make it GOOD. Go! Long View: Capture the first moments, feelings, setting pace and tone for the day. First, from where? From Deeper Sleep, just complete, too fast, most always too fast, Already time to wake in the dark, respite no more, feels like the …
Thick with dreams, dread, not so rested. Planned, intended, what was so, Different result, off kilter, sluggish Day approaches, all the same, Must go, forward evermore, Those dreams of evermore, Sure to tell the tale, of nuanced life, Human story like so many others, All others the same, common yet, Somehow different also, do now, …
Maybe it comes down to this. Easter weekend, cooking dinner for my kids, and our close neighbor friends. Good food (I hope!), good convo, fun for everyone, celebrating love and together. And Jesus among us. Love. Simple.

For us Christians, today is one of the most important days of the year, when we remember the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. The darkest day gives way to the brightest, a couple days following. It feels …
Stutter step, into the day, A little pause, for a little more “juice” in the tank, a little more to rev up, Make it good to go. It’s true, sometimes one more doze is just what you need, Need to set yourself straight for the start, Then deep breath, and stretch, and GO, Go make …
Right out the gate, maybe that’s a little ego-centric…after all, I bet most parents share this joy. Listening to your kids sleep. I love it. We have a small house, so I can hear them across the way, or down the hall. Sometimes I go in to their room just to blow them a kiss. …
If all went well, by the time this blog post is up, I’ll have been up and working for an hour or so. First day back yesterday after two week hiatus with 2/3 kids and me down with COVID. Glad to be back at it, and early is a good time get things done. So… …
