There are times in my life when things up in my grill and I can’t seem to see anything but what’s right in front of me. I’ve even felt a huge sense of desperation as I try to navigate the struggle and suffering. I need a huge perspective shift. I love that word perspective. I…
I’m thankful for the weekend! It offers opportunity for a different type of pace. I sometimes work hard around the house on the weekend. I sometimes get away over the weekend. I sleep a bit later part of the weekend! I started a Bible reading plan with our church family using the “H.E.A.R. method”. I…
I would love to see world peace. I think peace brings a different perspective to our engagement of others. I want what I want and I’m confident that the other person wants what they want. If we want our way more than we want relationship, we will likely never have peace or even be at…

I’m looking forward to getting my Pontoon Boat back on the lake this spring, summer and fall! It is a great way to relax and enjoy beautiful weather. I love boat riding on the lake. There have been times that we like to drop anchor and enjoy a picnic lunch or simply swim for a…
When I see a headline that says “Exposed”, I realize that someone or something was discovered that was hidden previously. I don’t always apply this word to me because I don’t feel like I’ve done something that can be exposed. I read a passage of scripture this morning that made me look at this a…
