  • Waiting on the Lord

    Waiting on the Lord

    I accepted a new job a few months back. We had moved from Minnesota to Colorado a year ago last November. Since that time I have been working for myself by writing web content and building websites for several clients. But the time had come to move on. As much as I enjoy working at…

  • When Thank You is Not Enough

    When Thank You is Not Enough

    Watching the Waldo Canyon Fire was an experience that is difficult, no, impossible for me, to put into words. Growing up in the Midwest, I was never close to this kind of disaster. The occasional tornado was about all that I ever saw. But, here in Colorado, wildfires are not a rare sight. Though, it…

  • A Tattered Tapestry

    A tattered tapestry I have no words. Which is surprising, since I use words all the time. I also have no answers. Although there are many solutions being tossed around. From gun control to mental health evaluations. How do we come to grips with the pain of such a terrible loss? Innocent children. Teachers and…

  • Presumed Guilty by James Scott Bell

    So, a pastoral counseling session leads to an affair. A scene we have witnessed played out in the news and local churches too many times in real life. Ron, a strong pastor, with a commitment and platform toward getting pornography off the Internet and out of the minds of our citizenry finds himself arrested for…

  • Don’t Forget to Breathe

    Don’t Forget to Breathe

    My wife and I recently made a road trip. Although we have avoided long trips by car for several years, we needed to drive from Colorado to Los Angeles in order to pick up some family property from my wife’s sister. So, we loaded up the car and headed out. Our time was scheduled out.…

  • Red Light, Green Light

    Red Light, Green Light

      “Wait for the green light!” THUD I must have called this out to my grandson a dozen times that night. Probably more times than a dozen. At the children’s bowling alley, with small bowling balls, the pins were set in place with wires. Once the pin setter pulled up the pins, it registered which…

  • Nearing Home by Billy Graham

    Nearing Home by Billy Graham

    Who better than Billy Graham to give insights on the last few miles. Keeping his eye on the prize. How to put life in perspective. In my opinion, no other leader in evangelical circles could offer a more valuable understanding than he. A quick read, full of stories of his life – examinations of things…

  • Unexpected Lessons

    Unexpected Lessons

      Lessons come when we least expect them. While house sitting (actually, dog sitting three dogs) for my son and daughter-in-law a while back, I was surprised to see that the dogs would sit and look at the cookie jar that holds their dog biscuits immediately upon coming in from the backyard. One of the…

  • When Do We Lose Childlike Faith?

    When Do We Lose Childlike Faith?

    When do we lose childlike faith? Spending this weekend at a ski resort with my son and his family brought about some reflection. As we get older, we recognize risk and danger – daily. I’ve noticed that my grandchildren don’t have this apprehension at all. As I watched my 6-year-old grandson don all of the…

  • But a Vapor

    But a Vapor

    Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. James 4:14 A recent visit with my mom brought this verse home to me. Of course, I understand the aging process. I’m on the down side of the…
