    Dear Family and Friends, If you were asked to measure on a scale from one to ten your level of trust in God, what would it be? Trust in God was mentioned as a step towards finding both our joy and peace. Would you agree that trusting God is easier said than done? If we’re

  • Give Peace A Chance

    Dear Family and Friends, Today let’s talk about another gift from God, a gift often left forgotten. A gift called peace. But not the kind of peace commonly referred to as world peace.

  • Ode To Joy

    Dear Family and Friends, How did you spend your week? This may seem a bit odd but I spent mine looking for my joy. Aileen mentioned my emails of late were a little on the dark side. She was right. World events were stealing my joy. So in response, this week was dedicated to finding

  • Why Do This?

    Dear Family and Friends, I woke up one day with a startling thought, ‘Perhaps it’s time to stop writing these emails.

    Dear Family and Friends, Have you been following the January 6 Select Committee Hearings? If you haven’t, I highly recommend you do. Why? Because these hearings are not really about politics.

  • Why Are There Twelve Stones On The Lawn?

    Dear Family and Friends, I started walking for exercise again. After a very long break, for which I can recite a number of excuses, it feels great. And gosh, a lot has changed. Our neighbors’ homes have grown larger, as did my waistline. Getting back into walking has taught me several lessons. Like, at my

  • Finding Our Compassion

    Dear Family and Friends, It was about 20 years ago when I first encountered extreme poverty. My company had me travel to India to assess starting operations there. The poverty and absence of hope forever changed me. The living conditions, in what was supposedly a modern high-tech city, was so hard to look at, I

  • What Is God’s Plan For Me?

    Dear Family and Friends, Have you ever wondered what God has planned for your life? I imagine we all have at one time or another. We know that Ephesians 2:10 NIV says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” The
