From the darkness, I pray this metaphor most everyday; I pray for the light to inspire and guide me along my way. “But why?”, you might wonder...and so let me share, for the reason is clear. From time to time uncertainty and sublime angst are my companions; they seem to find common purpose resting on …

“40”
When I heard this song for the first time more than thirty years ago, I was just getting into U2's music. It hadn't really spoken to me up until that time (mid-80's) -- I'd been more rooted in heavy metal, heavier rock music. And then this one came along. I was hooked pretty quick. The …
“Let Freedom Ring…”
Image from Google's Home Page on MLK Day, 2020 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke these words on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963. Tens of thousands gathered to participate in expressions of dissatisfaction with a lack of racial inequality in society here in the United States. Fifty-seven …
We Are Called
We are called to be with and for all people, this idea is a fundamental of Christianity. That means we help others; that means we do not judge; that means we do not reject, belittle, demean. In as much as people want to be better and forgive themselves and others of wrong-doing, so too we …
Get Some: Early Morning Peace
This road, so busy during the day. A road running from the east foothills all the way to what was orchard lands, a hundred years ago. Now home of The Spaceship. I walk this road most mornings, heading west, only a couple of blocks, with a couple dogs. It's the perfect way to start the …

What’s more, this day remembers this particular child, when God crossed over forever to humanity. No longer separate, no longer distant, God among us, Emmanuel. When Jesus was born, God have us the …
Christmas Eve
Reflections on the last few days, so many things swirl in and out of my mind. Rounding out the month at work - almost. I’ll be back in on the 30th to help close the books for December. Continued learning and insights and lessons and mistakes and pushing the business forward. Thankful for the repeated …
“Lie In Our Graves”
Dave Matthews and his band have a ton of good songs, in my humble opinion. Not only is the music awesome, and the lyrics often more so, I'd say. This one is one of my favorites from the first ten or so years of their jamming together. AWESOME. Step into the light... "When I step …
Guest Post: Brother Tim, Witness Work In Kolkata
It’s the evening in Kolkata 🇮🇳 while most of America 🇺🇸 sleeps. I’m trying to process another epic day on top of every other epic day serving the sickest of the poorest of the poor of the harsh streets of Kolkata. Most of you know I can muster words for just about anything. However, this …

Colors of the Season
Red and green and festive, that’s what I go for this time of year. The lights are everywhere, decoration abounds that adds to the mood. Another variation on the same theme: let the joy flow to the fore, let the light shine bright, let your spirit be lifted, and strive to do the same for …
