Happy New Year
I was talking with some friends Sunday – the topic of the new year came up with a variety of cares and concerns typical of a new year – it’s common to evaluate the old and new year – these considerations sometimes come with concerns. A new year can be a little exciting, a little…
To Learn or not to Learn…
There’s a ton of social and political chatter about what parts of our nation’s history should be kept, removed, focused on, ignored, and why these positions matter. Personally, I love history (now) – but I haven’t always taken history or its textbooks seriously – for most of my life I just assumed the history I…
Remembering Why We Have Independence Day
If there ever was a source document for a holiday, “The Declaration of Independence” is (without a doubt) the source document Independence Day – oddly enough, some of the most critical predispositions of its original purposes are often misquoted, misrepresented, and even ignored even while we continue to celebrate Independence Day. For clarity and transparency,…
Our Daughter
Each year your birthday is an enduring blessing to us. Our daughter is an amazing woman, beautiful, positive, helpful, strong, resilient, and able to dig in a push forward even in the most difficult conditions.

Moral Modification is NOT Gospel Transformation
Our pastor gave us a very good, very relevant subtext bullet two weeks ago – “moral modifications are not “gospel transformations.” This resonated with me as churches struggle with clashing cultures, Christian Nationalism, and so called “woke agendas” – the application is simple: A forced, legislated, or socially bullied moral modification compromises any effort to…

The Valentine in My Life
The Valentine in my life is so many things. Not the things measured by media, what’s trending, or the world. My Valentine is not loud, driven by inclinations, or the center of attention. She is not calculating, aggressive, or motivated by self. My Valentine is the pictures in our home, the places we’ve been, and…
Working As Designed?

There Is A Divide – Is it you?
We are such a hot mess – we’ve created our own multiple layers of crisis and conflict: Israel vs Palestine Right vs Left Haves and Have Nots East vs West Public School vs Home School Churched vs Unchurched Fake News vs Real News Russia vs Ukraine Conservative vs Liberal Christian vs Non-Christian NATO vs Non-NATO…
“We Don’t Have to Have Enemies”
To understand and untangle the thousands of years of Israeli – Palestinian conflict, one would have to take a wider view of mankind, religions, and selfish motives. The world is populated by 7.9 billion people of many races, cultures, nations, and religions – the planet has enough land, resources, and learned technology to house, care…
