It’s All About …

What’s it all about? The question was aimed at me, and the “it” was the bike ride project. We were brainstorming an inspirational tagline, something that tugs at heart strings and makes everyone eager to follow and support the ride. Something like “1500 miles for hope.” If you have any suggestions, send them along in […]

Has The Gospel Changed You?

Has the gospel changed you—how? I love my small group. We get into amazing, deep, authentic discussions. We ask questions to which there aren’t necessarily any right answers, and it’s okay. I think we’re blessed to spend time together each week. Last night we encountered this question: How has the gospel changed you? However, there […]

Forty Days

Have you ever seriously wondered how much of what’s happening is about you? I’ve been reflecting on the issue of temporary setbacks. Initially this wound on my backside seemed to be a two-week hiccup. Various complications lengthened the process. Doc’s best guess now puts resumption of training at about June 1. That’ll mean roughly forty […]

Choices

Happy Monday. I just listened to an interview that’s got me pondering a word-of-the-week … CHOICES There are some choices I’m very glad I don’t have to make.

Do It Anyway

Do you search for inspiration, or does it seem to find you? I’m the guy thrashing about in the bushes trying to flush out inspiration that’s perched on a branch right above my head, smiling patiently, waiting for me to take a break and glance upward. Yesterday we arrived home after my jailbreak hospital discharge—felt […]

Trying To Trust God

Is trusting God different than trying to trust God? I had to dictate yesterday’s post (This Morning …) to my lovely wife. At one point I said I was “trying to trust God.” Becky said, “Why ‘trying’? Why not just trust Him?” Good question. I do trust Him—intellectually. I believe He’s in control, that He […]

Can You Go All-In?

Do you ever truly give 100% to anything? Lately, I’ve had a lot of time to think. As I recover—steadily but much too slowly—much of my customary activity has been curtailed. So I think, which for me is often a dangerous activity. I’ve tried to remain positive. I had to cancel a commitment to lead […]
