A cup of coffee on the deck with two cats waiting for the sun to break the horizon was my silent time this morning. One of the benefits of being unsupervised is the freedom to enjoy the peace and solitude of a new day. I listened for the still, small voice of God but only […]

“Silence is anything but passive waiting. It’s proactive listening. And each day, God’s voice gets a little louder in our lives until He’s all we can hear. If you want to hear the heart of God, silence is key. If you want the Spirit of God to fill you, be still.” Mark Batterson * * […]
During devotionals this morning, Mark Batterson and the Spirit laid this on me, and I felt compelled to share it. Peace! G. “There’s an old adage that those who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music. That is certainly true of those who walk to the beat of God’s drum. When […]

A bold decision prioritized an early shopping mission at Kroger’s on 4-times fuel point Friday over sitting in the recliner and catching the news after breakfast. But I met the challenge and encountered a busy parking lot…already…on a Friday. It must be a post-apocalyptic ripple from the total eclipse last Monday. The lot felt a […]
After 13 years of maintaining a professional blog that tracked with the latter third of a 35+ year corporate learning and development career, I struggled with walking away. How do you abandon thousands of hours of training content, articles, and knowledge-sharing posts on a blog that define a documented trail of who you were, what […]
This post is an annual event I usually post on Maunday Thursday to raise awareness of some of the smaller events of hearts 2,000 plus years ago that took place that night and into early Good Friday morning and what it all now means to me. The original posting was also a Maunday Thursday twelve […]
