How far would you go for those you love? That’s the central question of the Passion, maybe the whole of Jesus’ life. How far would you go? He went the full measure. He gave the full measure. He taught us the true meaning of love throughout his ministry; he taught us about love while he …

From Frozen II. Inspiration is everywhere; even in the darkness.

You Can’t Skip It
Heard recently [and I'm paraphrasing]: "...most often, to get to a better place, it's really not possible to 'skip the hard part.'" It's a simple idea. And it's a GREAT insight. It's undeniable. really. We don't get to skip the suffering, the struggle, the WORK, to get better, to heal, to reach a better place. …
I’ve Been Here Before
Sitting in the old truck. It’s the afternoon. There’s water slowly streaming down the windshield. It’s been raining for a while. Grey afternoon light pours in. I’ve got the local jazz radio station, KCSM, dialed in. I’m thinking about my dad. As some of you know he’s been gone a couple years. Listening to jazz …

Romance Sprinkled Respite
Gratitude to start the week. Gratitude to start every day. Extra bunch of grateful just now, after a short weekend escape sans children. Grateful to my beloved for planning it. Grateful for the support for the kids so we could get away. Grateful for living so close to a very different, wild, and beautiful place. …
Good Where You Least Expect
How to discern good, how to find it, especially during difficult times? How to hear the truth above the din of naysayers? The reading from the Gospel of John 7, one of the phrases stands out for me: “...no prophet arises from Galilee...”, said the Pharisees of Jesus. This was in response to some saying, …
Lyrics Post: “Baba O’Riley”
A LONG time ago I was introduced to this band. An old friend who I'm in touch with still today -- though admittedly, not as frequently as I'd like -- was the one who opened my eyes. Since then, I've seen "for miles and miles...", and so still appreciate the energy and creative sound that …
