I’ve met many people from all over the world in the Social Media realm in the past few years. One such family, Kate and Johnny Brooks, live in Kenya and are bringing orphaned girls into their home so they can be raised in a loving & nurturing environment.

…It’s one thing to tell others Jesus’s story, it’s another to ‘be’ it. I’m learning to tell Jesus’s story by living it, by loving my neighbor, not just regurgitating words, which is how I used to live. If I went to someone for encouragement and all they would do is tell how Jesus could fix [...]

Top Shelf

I had a dream a year or so ago… I was walking around in a liquor store looking for a bottle of Gin or Vodka … or both. I was looking to find the highest quality “top shelf” brand I could find. (If you think about it, all stores put the best items on the top shelf.) [...]

If my wife Sandy were to write me an intimate love letter, that bared her heart to me, and touched me deeply, I would cherish it, probably save it for ever. But… If I held onto and had a relationship with that letter above her… If I only used that letter to understand her… If [...]
Learning To Love

I got kicked out of an ‘Institutional’ small group 5 years ago because of group think. My ideas and thoughts on spiritual life were not in line with theirs… One thing I am learning to do is to love others no matter what they think or where they are in life. Sometimes I see in [...]

A Letter to My Daughter
Jan 27
Dear ‘Scooter Bug’, As I sit here thinking about what to write to you as you turn thirteen, I am finding it difficult to put into words all that is welled up in my heart. Thirteen years ago I had expectations of you as I held you in my hands for the first time. Don’t [...]
