Out of a blank mind…
I have heard that when you ask a woman what she’s thinking, and she says. “Nothing” she is, in fact thinking about what to cook for dinner, picking up the dry cleaning, returning books to the library, sending a birthday card, calling her sick friend, adding to her shopping list, and fetching the kids from … Read more
Good, better, best ….
Good, better, best …. give it a rest! We’ve all heard it, right? Good, better, best; never let it rest; until your good is better; and your better is its best. It’s Friday. What if for today, we take a break from trying to do better. What would it hurt to assess what we’ve accomplished … Read more
Random Intent
Technology and super highways; smart cars and smart phones; vitamin water and propel – what do those things have in common? No, the answer isn’t nothing. Think about it. They represent the warp speed of this life we’re living. I love technology, I love my smart phone, I think about health and staying active. I’m … Read more
Different Fruit
Fruit! When I was in high school you never wanted your name and that word to be used in the same sentence. A fruit was crazy, odd, wacky, weird or (gasp) different from everyone else … or that’s how that person appeared.

Singing … Read more

And this morning I’m meeting a very dear friend to walk – probably walk too fast; and talk – that also too fast. All that bundled together – it’s a jump start to a … Read more
Saturday Short
It’s the weekend! Did you sleep well last night? We had our doors and windows open and didn’t wake in panic at hear rain pour in. But now it’s time to get UP UP UP! Where’s your list? Where’s your tools? Where’s your coffee? OH …. and the most important …. Where is your foundation? … Read more
Mighty Warrior
OK everybody up! Rise and shine! Good Morning! It’s Friday everyone …. and the countdown to the weekend begins. I’ve been thinking a lot about friends who have lost jobs recently. I’m sure those friends were thankful for their jobs and went to work every day with an attitude of gratitude. God promises us in … Read more
Getting to the Promised Land
What is on your agenda today? Do you feel like you’re all alone? Or maybe you’re excited about this day, but are unsure where it’s going to take you. Maybe it’s just another day and you haven’t given is much thought. In all those ways, no matter what, God is there with you. Joshua was … Read more
