Camping: Today is the best day
July 10, 2022 Today I want to start with a question: How many of you are here? Not just physically present (or with us at home), but how many of you have your mind here, present, in this moment? If you’re here, say, “I’m here.” Tell someone near you, “I’m here.” (If you’re at home,Continue reading “Camping: Today is the best day”

Now the headline is “Covid is rising.” Another headline is:Continue reading “Write Your Own Headlines “
Dreams and Visions
June 5, 2022, Pentecost I recently attended the Learning Tree Preschool graduation. It’s always fun to hear the kids say what they will be when they grow up, like a mail deliverer, a pilot, a football player or baseball player, or work at Walmart.

It’s ok NOT to be ok!
Mental Health Sunday May 22, 2022 I saw a billboard for mental health that said, “It’s ok not to be ok!” I wondered, why does a billboard have to even say that? If you break your leg, no one says: you’re a horrible person. No, they sign your cast, they open the door for you.Continue reading “It’s ok NOT to be ok!”
