I had a bit of an epiphany this morning… It occurred to me that parenting is not unlike my now distant and admittedly short-lived career as a soccer parent. At the beehive-level I coached. At that level, I was permitted on the field of play where I ran up and down the field with theContinue reading “Parenting is Like Beehive Soccer”

Amazing Friday Mornings!
Sunny Friday mornings are like that best bite you were saving for last… Have a great day everyone!
I Fed on His Wonder…He Fed on My Joy
Once, a fairly long time ago, when we had first arranged our basement as a place to watch movies and hang out together as a family, my son and I came across a concert on PBS. It was Yanni’s concert “At The Wall.” Now understand, we had configured this basement viewing room with a newContinue reading “I Fed on His Wonder…He Fed on My Joy”
Love wins…today…
I’ve seen it said today that while the decision of the Supreme Court is all well and good, there will be blowback and future fights…. Well, there always are. In 1st Corinthians 15:32 we are reminded of this: “If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts, what advantage it me, if theContinue reading “Love wins…today…”
Nothingness
My insignificance is profound. My constant presence continues to be absent and my words flow ever upward where I can only hope God is listening. I move amidst the many and they walk right through me light a specter or shadow that defines the edge of the light. I make no noticeable sound inspite ofContinue reading “Nothingness”
In Memoriam
And the rain falls like tears when the heavens can no longer take the pain. In quiet pools we reflect on those who have not died in vain.
I knew him… he was a boy…
Recently, I was at a Cincinnati Reds game on a Friday evening. It was a very nice night for a game and we had those special tickets that come with the food and beverage and that special inside area. You know, the ones where you may not see too much of the game, but you will eat andContinue reading “I knew him… he was a boy…”
I believe in love…
So today is a day dedicated to love which comes in so many flavors. There’s the “leaping flames” love of youth and the “quiet white embers” love of the ages. There’s the silly precocious love of your teens; the intensely magnetic love of your twenties; the practical and steady love of your thirties; and theContinue reading “I believe in love…”
Forgive; don’t forget
Almost bedtime on the eve of the last day of the year. Yes, in a little less than a day, we’ll begin another year… 2014 showed me that life is so much more than something that just happens to us. So, I want to start 2015 clean and clear. The Buddha once said, “Holding onContinue reading “Forgive; don’t forget”
My children are a promise…
My children are a promise… A promise I made to God; a promise I made to me; and ultimately to them. His promise of “Grace” means that even when we fall, He is there to catch us. No matter how far we wander, He is there, waiting for us to come back. As this promiseContinue reading “My children are a promise…”
