DO YOU FEEL LIKE A FAILURE?

MOVE FORWARD

NATURAL BORN SINNERS
Children aren’t taught to be naughty. It’s as natural as a dog chasing its tail. Teens aren’t molded into bipolar Dr. Jekyls and Mr. Hydes. It’s part of the hormonal imbalance of that age. College students aren’t just naturally rebellious know-it-alls, who think … Continue reading
RANDOM THOUGHTS OF SUMMER

MY CHURCH FAMILY

RETIREMENT?

LABELS
Originally posted on 1/5/15 No one likes being put into categories. I don’t want to be known as a bigot. Most folks don’t want to be known as selfish, narrow minded or unyielding. We cringe at being associated with … Continue reading
SUPER HEROES
I happen to be a fan of the new “Super Girl” series. Maybe because it’s something different than the usual crime and violence we see on the tube and I don’t mean the nightly news. Most of us like the idea of … Continue reading
THE STORM OF THE DECADE
Remnants of carved Jack-O-Lanterns hidden by a blanket of snow. Little trick or treaters tucked into their beds as folks pushed shovels to stay ahead of the storm. The blizzard of October 31, 1991 buried Minneapolis in more than 2 feet of fresh … Continue reading
KEEP ON TRUCKING
A story begins – we’re introduced to the characters – see their goals and failed attempts at reaching them – get involved in what happens next. With the turn of each page, we see the mistakes they make, root for them to … Continue reading
NOTHING HAPPENS BY CHANCE
As we wind down another year, our natural tendency is to look back at the mistakes we made – the goals we missed – the lost opportunities – the habits we didn’t break. We look forward to a clean slate and … Continue reading
WINTER
