I’m coming at you live this week from a Praise Jesus jury duty was cancelled day. My schedule runneth over, I didn’t really have the time to spare, and my prayers have been answered. I’ve accomplished a much overdue oil change and rotation of tires on my car. I even accomplished a wee bit of […]

Ragamuffin & Beyond
My next two travel excursions are Rich Mullins’ fault. For that matter, so was last weekend’s day trip. I drove to see a girl in Frozen Jr. who, in terms of acting and singing ability, aged about ten years in the couple of months since her last performance. I probably would never have met her […]
Belshazzar Belshazzar
Not really sure what I’m writing about today, other than I Corinthians 14 and Belshazzar keep crossing my path this week. Belshazzar. Say it five times fast. Belshazzar, Belshazzar … Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice … Welcome to my scattered mind. Like usual, my to do list is larger than the time available. I’m packing for one trip […]
Supernatural Freedom
“Life is doing what comes supernaturally.” That phrase leapt out at me from this morning’s devotional reading. Writing this post may have to come supernaturally. Supernaturally, which is very different from Big Brother Zuckerberg-ally. Use the word “pledge” in a post, and Facebook now urges you to create a fundraiser. “Pledge” is a perfectly good […]
The Fairy Trail
Are you familiar with the fairy garden trend? Even though I avoid Pinterest, it’s still difficult to ignore the cute little figurines and accessories intended to be placed amongst the foliage and moss in people’s flower gardens. To be honest, I may someday end up with a fairy garden, but thus far it hasn’t risen […]
Digressionism
Exhale. It’s been a day. It’s been a week. Ha, when hasn’t it been. As I sit down to write this, Willie Nelson is the current soundtrack at Starbucks. Which is not a genre you generally expect in the greater Columbus, Ohio area. But maybe Sbux and Willie are both in favor of inhaling? As […]
Theological Woo
Often I know what I’m going to write about each week and sit down to start it a day or two ahead of time. Other times, like today, I don’t really know. I understand writer’s block firsthand, I get it. But when people say they don’t know what to write about, I say just start […]
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Aaaaaaah! There. Primal screaming done for the moment. Or the next five minutes at least. Do you ever have times when you get busy doing stuff and eventually come up for air and you’re not even sure what you accomplished but you just know you’re tired? And you feel like your exhaustion isn’t justifiable because […]
Purpose Over Passion
I’ve been listening to an audiobook I’ve found to be a bit dry. There have been a few interesting ideas, one being that purpose matters more than passion in determining who does a good job. The authors assert that it would behoove commencement speakers everywhere to stop telling graduates to follow their passion. There was […]
National Leon Day
I learned via a highly important text this week that June 25 is National Leon Day. Haven’t heard of this made up holiday? Leon is Noel spelled backwards, and June 25 is six months away from Christmas. Hallmark is bound to come up with a new greeting card line soon. If, like me, you have […]
