This Good Friday, I feel pretty far from the usual church ideas and rituals around celebrating this day. For us Christians, today is one of the most important days of the year, when we remember the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. The darkest day gives way to the brightest, a couple days following. It feels …

Easing Back, Back to Front, No Grind
After two weeks healing myself and my girls up from COVID, I’m logging back on to work life. Not on-site just yet; gotta solve this cough problem. L Back to front? It basically means, my intent to start work again with a fresh, healthier, balanced approach, retaining my sense of self and priority. My goal? …
Got COVID?
After 24 months, 2 vaccines, 1 booster, Maybe 100 masks (I’ve worn washable / reusable until several months ago), I turned up positive for COVID - 19. Tested twice, just to be sure. Well, it was bound to happen. I’m in good company though; Jungkook of K-Pop Boy Band BTS also announced he just tested …

Sometimes a football offensive team can score a touchdown in two minutes (or less). Two minutes is a good buffer for winding something down, like playtime for kids, or finishing …
Fellowship
With your peeps, that’s when you likely most often experience fellowship. Your team, your particularly tight work group, high school bunch, college crew, church regulars, you get the idea. When you experience fellowship with people you just only met? That fellowship? Well that’s a little different special; that’s a little bit of special magic. And …

Bonus Post: Pívot
Change is a constant theme, bubbles up all the time. Work, home, kids, friends, life. Take this post, published around Noon, written twelve hours earlier when I woke up with busy brain at 1am, eyes wide open. Forced them shut for an hour, then gave up and scribbled some thoughts down, then remembered I should …
