Up and down things go, every hour, every day. Moods, fortunes, progress, or lack there of. Sometimes, maybe frequently, the best we can do is keep going. Sometimes the best we can do is take the step forward. Let’s do that today. Up or down, when things settle, go forward. Let’s go forward together.
Struggling and Searching? Russians, Tolstoy, and Faith
Personal Preface, then "Lessons from Leo Tolstoy" - An Article via BioLogos I was raised in the Christian faith; it stayed with me as an adult, and has seen me through five decades so far. For pretty well the whole of my adult life, I've also been a Rusophile. There is a special place in …

#Blessed
To be alive right now. To be the parent of these three amazing kids. To have the family I have. To have the friends I have. To have seen the concerts I’ve see. To have clothes on my back, shoes on my feed, a roof over my head, and food to eat in abundance and …
Compromise 1
Compromise, the way forward. Compromise, the path of peace. Compromise, the way to find, create, harmony. Compromise, the way to live happily with others. Give a little; take a little; compromise. In friendships, at work, at home, in marriage, in life. Be willing to... COMPROMISE.

Church
Church. Haven't been in a while. Been with God pretty well every minute of every hour of every day, that's the flip side. Through the last year, the last fifty-four, leaning heavy on God's presence, the idea, the support, the release. Talk to God, it's a healing, freeing, release. Release from the bondage of worry, …
Sing Along
Enjoy the music? Sing along, the best way to feel it. I was in the kitchen with my younger daughter the other day, and she was quietly singing a song from the movie, Trolls. Can you guess which one? Yep, the same one I posted the lyrics for this week...”Get Back Up Again”... Such a …
