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.)
Isn’t it amazing that we humans can be miserable even when we have plenty to eat, adequate shelter from the elements, sufficient clothing, and safety?
It is one of the things that seperates us from the beasts of the field and woods.
It should not be downplayed. I suspect it is a reflection of the Imago Dei (image of God) in us and is a reminder that we are meant for more than just filling our bellies, procreating our species, and finding a warm place to bed down for the night.
The ONE THING for today: Do not be quick to assuage the misery in your life–it could be a beacon pointing you to something transcendent, eternal, and incredibly fulfilling.
I don’t know why, but this picture of my mother-in-law (Ruby) and her great grandson (David Lee) during the Thanksgiving holiday strikes a deep chord in my heart. Today is December 7 – a reminder that Ruby’s generation was defined by Pearl Harbor. What will my grandson’s generation be defined by?
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.
