I’ve had a lot of time to consider this and there are just several things I loooove about children, many of which actually challenge me. To be sure, a number of us wish for the simpler days of childhood, and it is easy to fantasize (and even glamorize!) those days, but one thing that has…Read more Children teach Us
Your Calling
“The place God calls you to is where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” ~Frederick Buechner
Bright Hopes for Tomorrow
Guys, no joke, 2020 was maaad. It ran like a crazy train till the very end, actually! All of us were really thankful to have lived to see the end and yet to have maintained our sanity. I recall feeling grateful to see the old year pass. Like you, I learned a lot in 2020…Read more Bright Hopes for Tomorrow
Tis the season
As I start to write this, I find myself humming the song: “’tis the season…” but I find that I don’t want to simply complete it the usual way: “to be jolly”. I can think of other ways to end the phrase, but I’m first curious as to how you would. As we complete what…Read more Tis the season
Humbling times
What a year, right? A TON has happened, and I cannot actually believe we’re in the last quarter of the year already. Not only did the year literally fly by, but it was loaded with …life.

A preschooler has a bit more critical thinking skills and so is in a…Read more About that preschooler specie…
The Fight for Identity
It’s been a while from me, hasn’t it? Well, I’ve been pondering a lot lately with the current climate. And there is a lot to think about. From a pandemic to politics to racism to the MeToo movement and how it plays out, it is a lot. I’ve therefore thought a lot both about both…Read more The Fight for Identity
On the flip side

There have been many losses we have all incurred in this period, but in thinking, I realized one thing: I like some of the outcomes of this pandemic. I…Read more On the flip side
Still sleeping?
One man awake, Awakens another. The second awakens His next door brother. The three awake can rouse a town By turning the whole place Upside down The many awake Can cause such a fuss It finally awakens the rest of us. One man up, With dawn in his eyes Surely then Multiplies. ~ Lawrence Tribble…Read more Still sleeping?
Who are YOU becoming?
Day whatever of being locked in with this coronavirus pandemic. I’m sure that you, like many others, have gone through various emotional/psychological stages of being. Maybe you’ve finally accepted the state of things, or are still wrestling with feelings of being stuck. All very real experiences. All I’ve gone through or sometimes still am. I’ve…Read more Who are YOU becoming?
