A Last Time for Everything
Here lately it seems I’ve been confronted with preparing for the “end” of things . . . not in a morbid way, but in a strategic one. For example, last week I had a meeting with the core members of Dave LeMieux & House of Soul regarding our operating agreement so that when our […]
Going For It!
This past weekend was full of reunions. The CU Buffs Football program had their annual fund-raising event that drew former players from previous eras and several states across the nation. I saw guys that I hadn’t seen in years. It was very cool. But as much as I enjoyed seeing our old friends, I most […]
New Year’s Resolutions and Other Fallacies
Discipline. That was the word in my Spirit at the beginning of this new year and 51 days into it I’m beginning to feel like my life has been an exercise of everything but. And, speaking of exercise . . . well, you can see where this is going.
I said that I would be diligent […]
The Upward Spiral
The other day I was over come by this feeling of euphoria. I was sitting and talking with a girlfriend and it just hit me – bliss! I was overcome with a deep feeling of gratitude and joy for no apparent reason. As I sat listening to my friend, I felt as if I was […]
The Closest Thing
It’s 4:22 in the morning as I type this blog. At around 3:17, my eyes flew open with the thought of everything that is before me to do. I feel, for the first time in a while, over committed. There was a time, here recently, that my angst was at the stagnation I felt my […]
Who’s Got Control?
My mother-in-love is out of town and when that happens that means we have her dog, Amos. Amos is a 5-pound (maybe) silky terrier with the personality of a hyper, excitable Bull Mastiff. His “let me please fetch the sock again, let me, let me fetch, again, again, please, fetch, again, fetch, sock, […]
Successfully Sleepless
Promptly, at 2:34 this morning, my eyes flew open and I knew they’d be open for a while . . . it wasn’t one of the fleeting things, and I immediately understood that. Marc is traveling, so falling asleep at all was the stuff of mythology. Yielding to my wide-open eyes, I grabbed […]
Black Enough?
Barack Obama, is he Black enough? Initially when this question came up I ignored it. Something about it seemed frivolous and petty. But as campaigning for the Presidency continues and the media persists with this question, is Barack Obama Black enough, I’ve become interested. Let me first admit there is something amusing about the question […]
Defining Me
Last night at the Jazz Theologian’s “Discovering the Gospel in Jazz” presentation, he said something that I can’t shake . . . and I don’t want to. He said that, concerning the Bible, we often read it with the intention to define it, instead of reading it and letting it define us. There […]
Getting There
Last night as I prepared for bed, I established a definate agenda for the morning when I woke up. Get up, have some quiet time, go to the gym and head for my first real day in the new office. Simple enough, yes? Yes, except Marc had one of his weird spider dreams . . . again. This […]
