Dear Family and Friends, “Where are you?” I was always amazed when Aileen stopped what she was doing and yelled out to our then young kids – Where are you? What are you doing? She somehow knew when they were doing something they shouldn’t. It was like she had this all knowing sixth sense, and

Dear Family and Friends, It’s now been two weeks since I broke my left elbow. Let me share that I’m on the mend and thankful it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. Let me also share a lesson learned from this experience. Living with one functioning arm is hard. Simple activities like bathing, dressing

Dear Family and Friends, On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing the colonies’ separation from Great Britain. If you were to stop and absorb the significance of that event and consider what your life would be like today had our country’s forefathers not done this, you will

Dear Family and Friends, Are you at peace? If you are, great! I momentarily lost my peace this week. It all started when three ducks came sky diving into our back yard. Before you say – ooh how cute – let me remind you that large birds leave large messes, if you know what I

Dear Family and Friends, We’ve been receiving a lot of ‘kawaisou, oh you poor thing’ reactions from friends this past week. A few reactions have been hilarious, like: Oh my God, God bless you!

Dear Friends and Family, Do you have a pet peeve, something that you find especially annoying? Mine happens to be shopping carts – left in all the wrong places. Stray cats don’t bother me at all. But stray carts do, a lot. I’m helplessly lost trying to understand why people can not take a single

Dear Friends and Family, Once upon on a time, in a land far away, I experienced a life event so unbelievable it felt like a fairy tale. Most who hear my story think I’m either joking or delusional. I’m neither. I once piloted an airplane. No, not one of those little Cessnas. The plane I

Dear Family and Friends, We recently drove down what once was my favorite stretch of road, the nice down sloping curve on Kailua Road just before it enters Kailua town. It was a wonderful way to enter Kailua, until speed bumps meant to slow us all down suddenly appeared every fifty feet or so. Is

Dear Family and Friends, When I retired from the church, I made a promise to God and myself – that I would write two books. The first book would be to young pastors, which I did. The second would be about following Christ, meant for all others. Well, after much thought, consultations with friends, and
