The Always Right
There is a very damaging phenomena that has overwhelmed our culture and threatens every type of relationship. I’m not sure what the roots are here but the results are clear. What is this phenomena? We have become a society obsessed with being right. Somewhere along the way we have reached the conclusion that being right…

Photo Friday- Solitude
We live in a very noisy world. We have been conditioned that the constant noise we experience everyday is normal. That we should just get used to it. Noise is action and progress. Noise is part of life. We have been indoctinated that noise is a good thing. But is it really? For me getting…

That Baby!
Seems like we ALL are ready for this year to end! This has been a VERY tough year for many folks. Some have lost loved ones to the virus. Some have lost their jobs or their life savings. I’ve continued to hear stories of severe pain and misery this year. I think we all had…

Photo Friday- You Have No Excuse!
I snapped this picture while walking with the twins at the zoo on the day after Thanksgiving. A beautiful flower, might be a golden rain tree, but exquisite in color and unique with its upright form. The zoo is a great place to see and appreciate the diversity of life. It is also a bit…

The Power Of Your Story
Yesterday, we visited a women drug and alcohol rehab center in Alajualita to minister to the women at the center. Kathy had been there many times, but this was my first visit. During our time at the center, our group shared some of our own personal stories of addiction, rejection and shame. As we…

Photo Friday: Beautiful World
We are surrounded by beauty. The Creator’s hand is evident everywhere you look. What could possibly create this kind of beauty and diversity? If it was “survival of the fittest” we would have one aggressive flower, right? He’s given us amazing beauty everywhere we look in abundance. Are you looking? I am a noticer. I…
