It’s a great privilege to be alive. It’s also a great privilege to be married. It’s also a great privilege to be the father of three beautiful, healthy and vibrant children. Days like today are opportunities to express gratitude for that privilege. In particular today gives me the chance to express gratitude specifically for the […]
Read More Ten Years of Abigail DrydenThis is to say thanks to those who are chugging along living and serving and caring outside of the fanfare. There’s no great fuss about them. Their names are rarely remembered. They appear to be just like everyone else. They are not like everyone else. They are outstanding examples of humanity. They’re do it under […]
Read More Under the RadarI admit it. Sometimes I can take life and myself too seriously. There’s an earnestness, a depth, a pondering, something more to what there is, something worth taking for much more than its face value that I feel obliged to uncover with due diligence.

Read More Fun with FriendsAlmost ten years ago I was working somewhere that offered me the opportunity to among other things write a small article every week day.

Often I wasn’t too bothered about the location or the purpose of the trip. Indeed truth be told, the purpose of the trip was a […]
Read More YIR15 – 12 – Thanks and Long JourneysThere is no guarantee of making it to see another day. This is why one of the good things to do each day is to be grateful to be alive to experience it. Multiply that gratitude by 10 and you get close to half the gratitude I have to celebrate my firstborn daughter’s 11th birthday […]
Read More Deborah at 11: Proof Positive of GraceBack at the beginning of this month, I mentioned what a fan I am of November. As the month reaches its close I am still a big admirer of the month. Although the 2015 edition will not go down in history as the greatest of my lifetime there have been highlights. One of the most […]
Read More Thank God for … NovemberI am fussy on quite a number of things. More fussy than I admit at times. That has sometimes limited my experience. I appreciate all the more how difference and a variety of it can be beneficial. Take church for example. I grew up with a limited and limiting perspective on the Body of Christ. […]
