Celebrating God with Us
“No one has ever tenderly pursued me,” my friend sighed. I felt the pain of her heartbreak as we talked over the invisible burdens we carry. I have never forgotten her statement. Her words resulted from a father who abandoned her, a mother who showed no gentleness and a husband who passively responds rather than […]
Devotional: Ringing In the Truth
“Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.” Tennyson’s words are poetic and inviting. But one of his phrases troubles me… “ring out the false, ring in the true.” The phrase suggests that if […]
Devotional: Tool Talk
It doesn’t matter if they contain pickles, salsa or jam, the lid that keeps the contents inside of the jar can drive us bonkers. We wrap our hands around their circumference and tug to no avail. We want their lids unscrewed, they remain cemented in their smug, unmoving position atop their jars! We strain, grunt […]
Devotional: No Reserves No Retreats No Regrets
In 1904, a young millionaire named William Borden graduated from high school. His untold wealth was his as heir to the Borden Dairy estate. His proud parents celebrated his graduation by sending him on an extravagant trip around the world. While touring Asia, the Middle East, and Europe though, William saw poverty and sorrow as he’d […]

It’s easy to see now, because we live beyond the birth of Jesus. Realizing the accuracy of the words spoken many years before is awe-inspiring. Read Isaiah 53 following and let the […]
Leadership: Leader of Small Things
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has changed the default font on campus computers. Why, you wonder, do we care? Well, it turns out that their new font, Century Gothic, is thinner than the Arial font they used for years, so it uses 30% less ink and could save them up to $30,000 a year! This […]
Devotional: Courage and Confidence
Courage and confidence are not the same thing, but I am convinced that one gains confidence when one exercises courage. In our spiritual lives, lots of us simply wait for feelings of confidence, before we exercise courage. The Bible shows us countless examples of those who had no confidence in the flesh, but, they mustered […]
Neighborhood Cafe:
You Live on the Road to Emmaus
Dozens of women walk past my window each day. I imagine their conversations as they walk through the neighborhood: “Did you hear? Her husband is having an affair. I know, I can’t believe it either. I used to see them working in their yard every weekend…” “Is her son out of jail yet? He used […]
Devotional: Who Am I in This Story?
I’ve heard the Good Samaritan story hundreds of times. I’ve been familiar with the beloved parable for over 40 years, and most times I hear it, I ask, “Who am I in this story?” Am I the Priest, the Levite or the Samaritan?” Of course, the goal is to be the Samaritan. He was the […]
