  • The World Is Groaning. Is God To Blame?

    Dear Family and Friends, Aileen and I started watching a new documentary on PBS called The U.S. and the Holocaust. It’s interesting and extremely informative. Why should you bother watching this?

  • Am I Bad If I Doubt God?

    Dear Family and Friends, Have you ever felt insecure or even unsure about your faith in Jesus? Have you ever had doubts about Who and what you so badly want to believe in – God, Jesus, the Bible?

  • Fifth Grade Faith

    Dear Family and Friends, To this day I still remember one particular fifth grade chapel service.

    Dear Family and Friends, You probably wouldn’t guess that I once went free diving off a boat over a mile from the coast of Waianae. It was a reckless thing to do, plus I caught no fish that day… I was too worried a fish would catch me! To be honest, I was more worried

  • A Cure For What Ails Us

    Dear Family and Friends, Can you recall the first time you learned of Father (now Saint) Damien? I suspect we all had a similar reaction – wow, he was so kind to go and care for the people of Kalaupapa, even putting his health and life at risk for the sake of others. My guess

  • Lessons From A Six-Year-Old

    Dear Family and Friends, Our daughter posted a recent photo of our 16-month-old granddaughter with the caption: I blinked and suddenly she’s not a baby anymore. Gosh we miss them dearly.

  • Oh No, We’re Out Of Toilet Paper

    Dear Family and Friends, This past Wednesday was the first day of Costco’s latest sale. We were there as the doors opened, along with hundreds of our neighbors.
