In the Name of Mercy
I’ve been pondering this morning’s message about the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). Most may know the story: a Jew was traveling and beset by robbers who took literally everything including the clothes off his body, beat him nearly to death, and left him along the roadside to die. A Jewish priest and Jewish scribe–religious folks–individually…

How Firm a Foundation
Has nothing to do with the hymn, although were I truly clever, I’d think of a way to tie it in. I’m thinking that for this project to last, it needs a solid foundation. An overarching plan or set of goals that will help keep my on track, both in terms of discipline and perseverance,…

Rebirth
I was recently challenged to put my thoughts and perspectives in a blog as a legacy. You may note that this site was started several years ago and lay dormant for 8 years. There’s more about that and my “blogging philosophy” on the About page. I am pondering whether I should finish the posts I…

End of an Experiment
I am thankful I began this experiment over 18 months ago. Blogging everyday about something I was/am thankful for was both an epic failure and a colossal success. Failure: the bar–posting every day–was unrealistic, even though I still have more ideas and themes than I can possibly handle that I could post every day. Daily posting…
