I read somewhere our lives being described simply put in two parts – the first half of our life and the second half of our life. If you are a golfer that second half can be described as the “back nine.” (Maybe that was a Carl Jung idea.) Now within these two halves there are […]
What is a prophet? Let me try this as a definition: one who names the situation truthfully and in its largest context. When we can name the situation truthfully and in its largest context, it cannot get pulled into interest groups and political expediency. Martin Luther King Jr. was a biblical prophet.[1] In Latin [sub specie […]
We all know the acronym GRACE – God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. But what does that mean? How do you translate that into your life? What are God’s riches that we receive because of Jesus’ death on the cross at Easter? I am asking myself just as I am asking you to meditate and journal […]

Self acceptance is unconditional. Taking a long, hard look at yourself and seeing the original truth of who YOU are. It’s important to recognize weaknesses and […]
With nothing but time, as the world grinds to a halt to ward off the crippling virus, Covid-19, I have been reading and meditating on the idea of Christ’s second coming. The bible tells us we will not know the time or day and I am beginning to come to a place in my heart […]
