I guess that’s one reason I still love teaching—I enjoy the challenge of creating an environment that fosters open, frank discussion. I value tough, sincere questions even though I often don’t possess answers. A few weeks ago during Rich’s Ride I tossed out a statement that […]

Routine
Happy Monday! Returning to “real life” after Rich’s Ride offers another perspective on today’s word-of-the-week… ROUTINE I’d guess that for most of us, “routine” has a somewhat negative connotation. Routine often means boring, repetitive, same-old-same-old. Most folks don’t dream of accomplishing something routine. However … Sixty-four nights of hotel rooms, restaurants, new places and people […]

“What did you learn—what’s the take-away?” I get that question a lot as I tell stories from Rich’s Ride. I’m still processing the answer. I’m not sure I’ve generated any earth-shattering insights—mostly it’s stuff I already knew and needed to be reminded about. Here’s one principle that challenges me as I think about where this […]

Happy Saturday! A friend sent me this video, I suppose because I’m something of a math geek. As I watched, I didn’t see formulas and physics. I appreciate those things and the people who seek a deeper understanding of how the universe works. Sometimes I enjoy digging into the math and science myself. But in […]

So … did you get out into the madness of Black Friday? I’m never quite sure what to do with the day after Thanksgiving.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1 A couple of weeks ago I accomplished a dream. I’m still learning from the experience. Perhaps […]

Happy Monday. I’ve been thinking a lot about today’s word-of-the-week… PERCEIVE I’m still trying to process the experience of Rich’s Ride. Folks keep asking me what I learned, what my big “take-aways” are. I’m seeking the theme, the pattern, the big picture created by all of the individual snapshots. It’s like stepping back from a […]

I believe Rich’s Ride is a story worth sharing. I hope that doesn’t sound arrogant or self-serving. I’ve seen enough evidence to convince me that lots of people are inspired and encouraged by this message of dreams and possibility. I’ve no interest in self-promotion, but I believe this ride is a gift made possible through […]
