A fresh idea came to mind recently; I think it might have some momentum. Elevate her, it helps us both. Listening. Enjoying. Engaging.

Redux: No Fear
Several years back I wrote a piece about "No Fear" -- at the time I mentioned "...in the face of the dragon...", or something like that. I recall feeling strongly about the idea of standing up to things we might fear. That theme has come up countless times, especially with my three kids, over the …

Find God Everywhere
In the toughest days, sometimes sneaky tough, unexpected, I seek God. Not sure what that means sometimes. Habit. In the dark, uncertainty, seeking God. Devine guidance, affirmation.
