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 …

Find the Joy
I know how I want to feel. I know how I wish I felt. And yet, the joy seems fleeting. Sitting down at the table, getting greeting cards together to go out for the holidays, the afternoon light spills in behind me. A few stuffed animals watch over my careful work. This time of year, …
Holidays, Parties, & Good Cheer
It’s that time of year, it’s time once again for the holiday cheer. A mixed bag at best, I really don’t jest, but let me tell you why it’s better than the rest. But without the rhythm, I don't really have the time. 🙂 Here's the deal. It's the time of year with special opportunities. …
Old Stories, Albums, Life
Was gonna rant on and on about early Dave Matthews lyrics. The first two albums I listened to way back when — “Under The Table and Dreaming”, and “Crash”...so much good music and words put together. Fun, creative, inspired, it was all of that and more. I pulled out “Crash” for the drive home last …
What’s in a List?
I always come back to the same thing. It’s my default. It’s what ended up grounding me, proving again and again the proper path. Sometimes I feel like I’ve got too much on the to-do list. It’s endless. And then I’m not getting enough done. Or maybe more accurately, things take longer than I estimate, …
Guest Post: Reflection, There and Here.
This piece was written by guy who's an artist, a teacher, a creator, a husband and father, a person of great faith. I read this post on his facebook page a couple weeks back, and wanted to share it. He graciously allowed me to do so. Here's some great insight and "Reflection: There and Here. …
Bei Bei, Giant Pandas, Diplomacy, and Mother Earth
I heard this piece recently on the radio driving to work. If you like animals and conservation, then this one is right up your ally: it's about the lengths we humans have gone in effort to save the Giant Panda from extinction. Bei Bei is the name of a panda cub born in 2015 to …

Life Admin
There's a myriad of things we need to do week to week, month to month, and year to year, to keep life going in the right direction. It's the bills, memberships, periodic review of material that helps our home, family, life function. You might refer to it as "Life Admin." That's what they called it …
