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 […]

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.

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 […]

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. […]

Light And Self-Driving Cars
I think a self-driving car would be cool. In college, I commuted with an electrical engineering student. Jack was convinced that we’d see self-driving cars within a few years. He spent countless hours telling me how they would work. I don’t recall details, but I remember there were two notions about guidance. The first was […]
