I was speaking to a wonderful holy priest the other day who has been my spiritual director for many years. We are pretty close in age and he reminded me that we are in a time of “letting go”….. letting go of our health, of our own abilities and skills, of our friends and family who are … Continue reading “Lou”

“Even Smarty Pants Can Go To Heaven”
Today we hear a lot about science…. Science is the answer… listen to the doctors and the professors. Well, I’m definitely not anti-science. I think science has made major contributions to life on this earth over the years. Hey, did I ever tell you about my project while a chemist at a big Fortune 100 … Continue reading “Even Smarty Pants Can Go To Heaven”
Are We Worth It?
Recently I got glimpse of how much God loves us…. another peek at how precious we are to the Lord.... another tiny understanding of why God decided to give his life to save us from sin and death.... another reminder of why God thinks the world of us. While talking and praying with a good … Continue reading Are We Worth It?
“No Turning Back”
Sometimes I wonder which actor will play me when they make a movie about my life. Will it be Paul Newman or Arnold Schwarzenegger, or perhaps Boris Karloff. Boris starred as the monster in the original Frankenstein movies…. yes Boris was quite a handsome and charismatic actor…. what elocution and articulation as he uttered those … Continue reading “No Turning Back”
“Brown”
Wow, I have to say my head has been spinning and my emotions are up and down. When you’ve known someone your entire life, it’s staggering when they are no longer a phone call away.

I read yesterday about Green Beret Colonel Paris Davis who was awarded the Medal of Honor for … Continue reading The Lord Blesses The Little With The Great
“Going Full Out”
I had a good friend who was a test pilot on the F-14 fighter jet. He held a number of the speed records on the plane during its testing phase. As he explained it, he was a bit crazy at the time and had nothing that stopped him from going all out. Fortunately he was … Continue reading “Going Full Out”
“How Do You Top This”
I guess most of us have heard that Tom Brady retired after 23 record setting years in the National Football League(NFL)….winning 6 Super Bowls and holding numerous records. In the NFL, he is generally considered the GOAT (GOAT= Greatest of All Time). Tom is 45 years old and it seems that he will never do … Continue reading “How Do You Top This”
“Trust All Things To Jesus…”
I can tend to think that the time to move forward with new initiatives from the Lord is when things are really going great, when the church and the culture are doing wonderfully well….”boy, let’s move into high gear and win the world for Christ”. Well, I guess there’s examples from history where this proved … Continue reading “Trust All Things To Jesus…”
