A long one, but I hope you’ll hang for a moment. Today is Martin Luther King Day. It is also the day that Joe Biden’s Presidency ends and Donald Trump’s begins. I’ve read most everything I can get my hands on of King’s speeches and words over the last many years of my life. I’ve visited … Continue reading My boundaries for the days ahead.

The Next Right Thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoNQg9eAyrg “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But … Continue reading The Next Right Thing
Here comes 2024…
If there was one resolution I'd love for all of us to really invest in this 2024, it would be to invest in two things; goodness and curiosity.

Do we love God? (The Greatest Commandment)
Preface:I am by no means a devout follower of all the things I know I should be. I wrote this as a means to convict myself. In doing so I hope you are able to take something out of it.
