The Stories Matter

You know how I am always harping at you to do your own Life Story—or even the Life Story of a loved one?  Well, I am getting more convicted than you, trust me! One of my fun hobbies is genealogy – when I have the time!  (hear a “guffaw” in the background?) But a year

Me? Cause Fights?

You may remember a blog I did recently on “Not Quarrelsome” where I confessed my being convicted by Blackaby’s statement: If you find yourself often quarreling with others, you need to ask God to clearly reveal your motives and to forgive you for your disobedience to His clear command. I dealt with the “disobedience” issue

It’s Organic – So What?

You see it everywhere these days… “Eat Organic” articles, the “Organic” label on foods, the “Organic” sign above a section in the grocery store.   I figured it would be good to do.  But I really didn’t know why.  So my “rebel” spirit kicked in and I asked myself “why should I?” when I saw the

Need a Leader?

Ok, this is definitely a timely topic – but I will NOT go all “political” on you.   Let’s start with a biblical perspective – a wise source — and it may be instructive in all arenas.  Apply it as you wish. I am thinking more in the personal realm.   You know those friends who

Aging:  The Ultimate Endurance Sport

OK, I stole this cool line, but it really spoke to me as I start traveling through my 76th year on this earth. And it provoked me to think through – how deliberate have I been about how I train for and “play” this aging game.  I think we all are looking for things that

One Heart, One Story at a Time

You know all those stories you heard from or about your parents, grandparents, relatives or ancestors?  And the few photos that got passed down to you?  And how many of your own life pictures and stories are in your memory space –the box in the basement storage and the one in your head?   And you

Your Right Hand

The Free Dictionary says the common definition of “right-hand man” is “their close assistant and the person they trust to help and support them in everything they do.”  Wouldn’t everyone want a “right-hand man”?  Even you “lefties” out there?    I wanted more about the origin of this term.  I found the oldest usage is of

Your Labs Are Normal

Okay, first of all, what’s “normal”?    You always avoided blind dates when they were described simply as “normal”, right?….or you have this vague, undefinable picture when someone describes a family as “normal”.    The good old dictionary talks about “constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type – typical.”  Is your picture of this still blurry?

Are We Taking TOO MANY Photos?

It is an interesting question – especially since I am helping people do their Life Story albums.  One of the most common responses is “I have way too many photos and memorabilia and….on and on…plus they are scattered all over the place.” Don’t get me wrong – I totally can relate to them! It was
