Life is so full. So fast. So demanding. Drive here. Pick up that. Make that appointment. Call that person. Call that person back. Try again. Plan the meals. Whoops, pick up something fast for dinner. Go to the grocery store again. Get the mail....

I really hope you have something on the calendar by way of rest and joy this summer. Even if it’s “only” evenings on the balcony or your back deck, summer can be so lovely and restorative. Let the...

Spring has finally come to Colorado. Last evening, Stasi and I took a lovely after-dinner walk through the neighborhood. The sun is setting later each day, and it was one of those wonderful evenings where the deer were out and browsing, a few...

This is a letter on how to pray for the people you love—especially those who do not yet love Jesus or see the Truth in him.

Well…2023 is out of the gates and down the track––even though my soul didn’t really get on board until late January! (Friends of ours still have their Christmas decorations up; their souls haven’t been able to make the transition yet!) Ready or...

Dear Friends,

A very merry Christmastide to you…wherever and whenever this letter finds you!

I don’t need to say much this month; the holidays for most people are typically full enough.

I’m guessing that the biggest issue facing you right now is not what present to get someone for Christmas or how many different kinds of cookies to bake. There are larger forces at play in each of our lives.

I find it interesting to be in the last quarter of my life…at least if you divide a lifetime by 20 year increments. As I approach my 63rd birthday, I sometimes catch myself in my dreaming. I want to partner with God in so many ways bringing his...
