Want to Have a Powerful Impact?
I’ve been thinking this week about the desire inside most people to have a powerful positive impact in this world. Most people aspire to have that kind of impact and they pursue it. I’ve done that too. Lately I’ve been percolating on that and thinking about what I actually believe. What I actually believe about […]
Unsinkable Hope
Today I want to write to you about HOPE, specifically unsinkable hope. I’m writing this with excerpts taken from my book The Divine Invitation. Hope is simply a strong and confident expectation of good things to come. It is like a lifeline that drops down from heaven and invites us to grab it, hold on […]
A Story of Courage
Today I’m writing about the virtue of courage using excerpts from my book, The Divine Invitation from the section called Fearlessly Courageous. The first example of a courageous, unintimidated person that comes to my mind is my son Mike. As a little guy, he would boldly “go for it,” whatever “it” was at the […]
Weeding the Garden of your Heart
Pulling weeds out of the garden of our hearts is about the willingness to admit when we don’t have it right, to ask forgiveness of God and people when needed, receive God’s forgiveness, and then change. We do actually need to change to get the weeds out. It has to go beyond words to attitudes, […]

The Pink Moon
I’m not much of an astronomer or one to watch for signs in the heavens. But this past fall when the Bethlehem Star came back after not being seen for about 800 years, I was on high alert. Just as the wise men knew something incredible was happening and followed that star, I was alerted […]

My Mother’s Hands
Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas today! When I was younger, still living at my home with my mom and dad, I wrote Mom a poem for Mother’s Day one year. I bet she still has it tucked away somewhere. I wanted her to know that I appreciated her and that I noticed all […]
