The other day I found something. It was a birthday card. Ruth and Glenn Hicks had given it to me, and it was printed on parchment paper, and purported to be a "Happy Life Insurance Policy" and it listed all the reasons why I should celebrate and be merry for this birthday and for many more to come. I went out into the shop, where I wa...

Enter your search terms. Friday, April 05, 2013. Gardening for the Soul. If you ask the simple question, "What does it take to make things grow? You get a multitude of answers. Think in terms of a garden. You need sunlight. True. You need water. True. You need dirt. True, yet again. All of those things are unquestionably essential. But can you grow things with nothing but dirt, water, and sun? Then we go off and take a long summer's nap and await the crop? Will you go in with shovels to do the same?

Enter your search terms. Saturday, February 23, 2013. Fear and its nemesis. It is natural for all of us to experience fear. There are many fearful situations that either exist or potentially could exist in our world, in our daily routines. So how do we get beyond our crippling fear? Do we deny it? They say, "There is nothing to fear except fear itself." But who are they, and what do they know about me and my situation? So how can one deal with one's fears, one's insecurities? Objectively, I could see tha...

Enter your search terms. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. I was thinking a little bit about the divisions in our world. Everyone talks about right and wrong as if they were polar opposites. In a binary world – there are only two options. Off, or on. Right, or left. Democrat, or Republican. Black, or white. For a long time, I lived in a gray world. Sure, there were lots of shades of that gray. But it was black, and white, and when you mix them, you get gray. What can it mean? Imagine a world where the politicians ...

She was human, but she had made peace with herself, and with her Creator. Ten years before, she had written a letter to her children - just in case this day should come. At her service my brother Ron and I each spoke, and then her letter was read. 8221;, but I just nodded my head and mumbled thanks, and went on. And each time, I staggered with the weight.

Enter your search terms. Sunday, January 30, 2011. These thoughts are raw and unfinished. Reflections on past and present and my own life experiences. There's something here, more to be said. but for now I'll say what I wrote there, in the cold car. Living Reactively vs. Proactively. Years of reacting to life events can leave one spent, utterly exhausted, in emotional or financial ruin. Taking steps to live a proactive lifestyle can have many varied returns - chiefly, Peace.

The holidays are coming, so I must make great amounts of tasty food. I have great amounts of tasty food, so I must eat too much. I ate too much, so now I must diet. Whatever happened, though, to Creation? But Creation, in my terms, means having Vision. A Master Plan. Or maybe, it doesn't. But the Creation is good, too. In addition to the old c...
