Hedging Bets

Last time I talked about following Jesus with purpose. It sounds so good when you say it at the start of new year, all fresh and new and ready to jump in with both feet. Then you think about actually having to do it, and it sounds a little harder. At least it does to […]

Happy?

Happy New Year! It’s the customary greeting, and of course we wish happiness for our friends in 2024. However… Perhaps you and I seek something beyond “happy” as we enter a new year. It could be many things, I suppose, but I’m thinking about writing stories, following paths, with purpose. Too easy, I think, to […]

Fresh Start

We can’t start over, but today is an opportunity to change the path.

The Beatles Were Right

We’re preparing to launch FREEDOM TOUR 2024 in a few days. It’s exciting, and as usual I find myself becoming introspective. Who will join? What will they need? How can we serve them? How do we communicate the message of the kids at the Home of Hope? With all the excitement and questions, it’s easy […]

Perspective

Things look different when we zoom out.

A Too-Familiar Story

Becky and I are binging a series in which a young lady catches fire for Jesus. Life is wonderful. God is great…all the time. Can’t get enough Bible study, worship, preaching. Ever been there? Then, the inevitable happens. Tragedy. Loss. Indescribable pain. And, of course, questions. If God is so good, why did He do […]

What’s The Point?

Last week, I indulged in a couple of personal riffs about life before and after my injury. I found myself asking a question: “What’s the point?” It’s a question that can take us in different directions. It might indicate despair, as if there is no point in continuing. Believe me, there are times when my […]

Humility

It’s good to remember who owns it…

The Second Half

Last time I talked about two halves of my life – before and after my injury. After receiving several very nice comments, I realized that I omitted one very important point. I’ve navigated the second half of this journey only because I was supported by a circle of caring, loving people. I’ve often observed that […]

Half A Life

I wasn’t sure I’d get to write this post. Today is the 36th anniversary of my accident. 36 years since I fell 9 feet from a roof, took my first-ever ambulance ride, and learned I’d spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. I wasn’t sure I’d get to write this post, because a […]

About What Matters

What matters? Are we willing to sacrifice for it?

Light And Following

Thinking about last time, about following the light rather than simply avoiding the darkness. On a practical level, isn’t it about being guided by eternal principles instead of just following the rules, doing what’s right rather than what’s legal? I talk a lot about my aversion to rules and formulas as ways to control behavior. […]
