These are the random ruminations of a man on the run. The goal is to run this race of life well, encouraging as many as I can along the way, and to eventually meet my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and thank Him for the trip. (I am also prone to shamelessly brag on my perfect grandchildren.)
“Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.” _John Milton, Areopagitica

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing.
It is a privilege to have the liberty to choose our words and one that we must never take for granted.
But…
We do not have the liberty to choose other people’s words.
There is a world of difference between saying, “This is what I meant” and saying, “This is what they meant.”
The ONE THING for today:
Feel free to speak for yourself, but never take the liberty to speak for others unless permission has been given.
One of the neat things about living and working in the Dakotas and Montana is the out of the way places you happen upon. Sonja and I happened upon this little house outside of Strasburg, ND one evening on our way back to Bismarck after a week of traveling through the Dakotas. The sun was just setting as we came to the end of a two mile dirt road and saw this old homestead–the childhood home of Lawrence Welk.
These are the random musings of a man whose goal is to make Jesus the paramount pursuit of my life who, while in this effort, is writing down a few lessons I've learned along the way. You'll have to decide if they are worth heeding but at least you may learn a few things not to do.

Taking small steps in the family and in the church to guide children and youth toward adulthood with the goal of continuing strong relationships with God and their family.
