All For Football
As our family fast approaches what could possibly be the end of our intimate relationship with football as my older son finishes college and the younger high school, I’ve found myself overwhelmed with emotion and confronted with just how much love for and indebtedness to football I have.
My personal relationship with football has spanned the […]
My Son . . . The Football Superstar!!!!
The Cure All
Suffering from an over-inflated view of yourself?
Feeling the weight of the entire catalog of every decision you’ve ever made on your shoulders?
Starting to believe that the God of all gods isn’t strong enough, mighty enough, God enough?
Take it from me, you need a get away . . .
With all creation I sing “Praise to the […]
Looking for the Blog-Worthy Moment
I had lunch with a girlfriend this week (the Avenue Grill - yum!), and heard myself say during the conversation that I’m always on the look out for the blog-worthy moment. I like that. I feel like when I’m “looking” and practicing some awareness in my days, my life, my thoughts and/or my […]
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 […]
Leaving Your Mark
As I parked my car in the garage last night, I felt myself getting excited to pass through the doors of our home. Yesterday was a long day. Thursday, with choir rehearsal late into the evening, is my big work day. It begins early and is full of preparation for weekend services, and ends late […]

The other day as I passed by my dresser, I took a fresh look at one of the pictures that sits on its top. It’s a picture of my brother and I engaged in a hug. It was taken around three years ago. He’s cute. I picked up the small silver frame and peered at […]
Take No Thought: Pt. III
God speaks to me when on my morning walks. Yesterday Zion and I were taking a walk and I was praying, asking God to help me surrender my ideas of how my life should look, and how my needs will be met. For the last few days I’ve been practicing not knowing. Not knowing the […]

As you read my […]
Core Four
This weekend my girlfriends and I had our “getaway.” At least three times a year three of my closest friends and I kiss our families good-bye and head for one night in a hotel room to be friends, be girls, be real, and be refreshed. It usually looks like having dinner Friday evening, returning to […]
