Going Home
After 10 days, today I am headed home. I travel quite a bit, but normally the trips are shorter. This one took me from Seattle to Orlando. As planes flew over the continental United States, there were a whole lotta people on the ground. It really is amazing to think about: all those people, each…

One More Day
So I am sitting here in an airport waiting for a flight to the other side of the country that I was supposed to be on yesterday. Three hours before my flight, I received the text informing me that my flight had been cancelled. I could quickly schedule a new flight, but all flights from…

Everyday Stewardship (Most Holy Trinity 2015)
I collect smiley faces. The crown jewels of my collection are Harvey Ball autographed smileys and McCoy pottery smileys. When I started my collection, I looked for the McCoy symbol on each pottery piece, to verify it was a “real McCoy.” The stamp of the symbol told me that it had been made in the…

What Is God Waiting For?
What Is God Waiting For? I knew I had a problem. It had been years and though I tried and tried, I could not break free. Several attempts of varying lengths of time and degrees of success ultimately led me back to the same place. Finally, I hit rock bottom. I prayed that if God…
