… And Back Again
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.Proverbs 16:9 NLT ******** We planned to see The Great American Solar Eclipse. We didn’t know we had also signed up for The Great American Traffic Jam. We barely got through Indianapolis when traffic came to a halt. Stop-creep-stop, thousands of people trying to get home. At first,…
There …
Like everyone else, we obsessively watched the Eclipse Day weather forecast. By Sunday evening, we knew we would drive to Indianapolis, see the eclipse, then come home. An easy day’s journey. At 7:45 AM we headed out. Estimated travel time to Indy was about 3 1/2 hours. Because Jenna was driving, all I had to…
We Went, We Saw …
We were amazed. And humbled. Watching the moon nibble away at the sun. Knowing that each one, in an independent orbit, following its own path, doing what they have always done, yet looking so different from our perspective than their everyday selves. In my mind, there is no doubt Creative Intelligence is behind it, and…

The Safe Tower
The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.Proverbs 18:10 NIV ***** Our lives are full of supposes.

“The Cross Isn’t the End”
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.John 10:10b NIV ***** “The gifts of the Master are these: freedom, life, hope, new direction, transformation, and intimacy with God. If the cross was the end of the story, we would have no hope. But the cross isn’t the end. Jesus didn’t…
Choosing a Leader
I came across this while looking for quotes about fools. When I looked up the book, one sentence hit me right between the eyes, and I knew I had to share this with you, along with links to the author and her work. (Look up the book and see if you see what I see.)…
April Fool’s Day?
Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” Psalm 14:1a NLT *** “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” Soren Kierkegaard *** Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.Proverbs 1:7 NLT…
