Regaining Our Balance
A few years back, while doing laundry in one of our building's communal laundry rooms, I was unprepared for one of our washers getting stuck in the spin cycle. There are only six washers and six dryers in a 90-unit Senior setting with three floors—two per floor. Our first floor is the only one with a front and top loader. I will not get into the prices … [Read more...] about Regaining Our Balance
Midnight Meanderings With My Friends
Let's begin with this. I was one of those children who clicked on a flashlight and read under the covers long after my mother called for "lights out." There was too much going on in my childhood books for me to give them over to something as needless as sleep.

5 Step Formula to Make Anything Happen
When I was working and coaching people on yearly business planning, it was daunting to look at a 12-month plan and even more daunting to imagine sticking to it. People would get excited about the plan and simultaneously want to give up because imagining the result in 365 days was overwhelming.
One of my mentors shared the “90-Day Hustle” with me. That was a game … [Read more...] about 5 Step Formula to Make Anything Happen
The OTHER Famine in the Land
It’s stunning, to me at least, that the famine Yahweh refers to in Amos 8:11-12 isn’t an absence of the Word of God, but the inability of some to hear His Truth breathed into His Word by His Holy Spirit. They cannot, do not, hear the Word the way God intended it. More on this in a bit.
I increasingly see 2 Timothy 4:3-4 examples on social sites in … [Read more...] about The OTHER Famine in the Land
