I Have A Kit For That

As reported in the media, a ‘Super cold’ is now going around which is not COVID or the flu.  In fact, I was at a recent retreat in the mountains and more than one person was either experiencing it or just recently had it or felt like they were coming down with it. So, being

A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words

You’ve often heard it said — “a picture is worth 1,000 words”.  And it sure seems true. Wikipedia’s definition: this is a saying which means that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image — one which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.

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
