  • MIG MAG

    It has been a while and I am back. Thanks to all who missed me and told me. Thanks to those who did and didn’t. Life gets “up in a heaval” (upheaval) and we lose our tracking and must find new centers for our daily disciplines. I wish to honor the old categories of this…

  • Pass It On.

  • God’s Grace

    Just a thought: There is no time in our lives when the grace of God is not needed or available.

  • 15 Minutes to Better Health

    I have been applying the 15 Minute Challenge to my health in several dimensions. Along with the major changes in my life it had started to become apparent to me that I needed to do something about my body’s condition or (A) die young or (B) become an invalid. (B) sounded worse than (A) and…

  • 15 Minutes

    I am presently engaged in a challenge with the folks in my church. I asked them and myself to identify 4 areeas of their lives where they really needed to work. All dimensions of life were legitimate areas of concern. I then asked them for an hour a day in 4 – 15 minute slots…

  • DOWN Time

    Here is a dilemma: You don't have large enough blocks of time to focus on your big projects. Everything is chopped up with what we have called cracks in time available. The cracks seem to small to allow accomplishments. On the other hand, you work so hard that when you get the big blocks, you are weary…

  • The Grand Courtship

    (Jeremiah 31:3 KJV) The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Everlasting love. It is as much of a quality as it is an expression of duration. In fact, what makes God’s love endure is that it is durable,…

  • In the Cracks

          When people ask me how I get certain things done, the response is often, "I work them into the cracks of my life between major commitments. Ironically, the things we do in those squeeze times are not always the least important, but sometimes the most. Earthquake spasms create cracks in the surface…

  • And Make Our Gardens Grow

    I felt that there was some scriptural basis here for this marvelous composition of Leonard Bernstein in "Candida," and then I came across Jeremiah 40:10 again: "…you are to harvest the wine, summer fruit and oil, and put them in your storage jars, and live in the towns you have taken over." God is instructing…

  • Kindle the Reading Fire

    I used to have a favorite line that I would use to explain why computers would never replace books. It went like this, "You can’t take your computer to bed to read the way you cuddle up with a good book." Amazon has robbed me of that truism with the introduction of Kindle, "a revolutionary…
