I respect and admire athletes who can dive. The strength. The grace. The supreme concentration. The split-second execution after endless training, nearly perfect.
And no splash.
Maybe one of the reasons I admire these athletes so much is that their skills are so far beyond mine, admiration is all I can come up with. In junior-high I [...]

Faith. Hope. Gratitude.
They travel together, these three, and riding with them can be a sweaty-palmed, white-knuckle ride!

Asking his girlfriend’s dad permission to marry his daughter was personally historic. Now to ask her face to face. He carefully chose the best scenario that would make it easy for her to say yes, and be a [...]

God Sightings in this Transition

I love that faith grows stronger and bolder by reviewing what God has already done. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy reading Bible history. One can read of faith in action —or the lack thereof— and learn from giants or wimps of the faith.
We’re seeing God at work at every turn in this latest [...]
Positions Open: Divine Courier

If you’re in a position where you are called upon to give-give-give, you know how quickly we wear out. It could be a special needs child, a difficult class, a demanding mate, an unsatisfiable boss, _____(enter your situation here)______.
I wrote to encourage a friend early this morning. His is a constantly-give situation. His dad’s health [...]
In Transition – Again

You may have guessed, if you’re a regular here, that life’s gotten busy or something; the frequency of posts has fallen off lately. Well, you’re right. but it’s for good reasons — and it’s temporary.
I accepted a new position on June 28th as Associate Pastor with Calvary Memorial Church in Gering, Nebraska. Our aim is [...]

I don’t think there’s a more grateful guy in all of SE Wisconsin today.
God has answered my prayers and the prayers of family & scores of friends. We received the call yesterday that Calvary Memorial Church in Gering, Nebraska had voted after church on Sunday morning —an overwhelming majority— and I was invited to join [...]

We have a framed saying in our dining room:
I believe in the sun,
even when it is not shining.
I believe in love,
even when I do not feel it.
I believe in God,
even when He is silent.
It was discovered written on the wall of a Nazi concentration camp.
What encouraging words, realizing the conditions in which they were penned!
God [...]
Sweet Thoughts For Anticipating A Change

This must be the spring for old hymns: I awoke this morning humming a song to myself, and realized after a while that the second stanza is especially relevant right now. (Is “relevant” still an OK word to use in my circles?)
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet [...]
Wise Perspective

My mom is a wise lady. It’s amazing how much she’s learned over the years; she didn’t know anything when I was twelve.
We’ve been praying at our house for God to provide since I was downsized out of the company I’d been working for, designing and installing media systems in churches. It’s been [...]
