Keeping Our Center ~ Day 53

07 May, 2020


So, I’m a little frustrated. I’ve been repurposing an old six-panel door (you know, the kind where all the panels run horizontal) into a bookshelf (if I ever finish I’ll share a picture with you). I sanded and used liquid sandpaper on the door...

Keeping Our Center ~ Day 52

Never underestimate a few encouraging words. Years ago, on one of the most difficult days of my life, I received an unexpected voice message from a friend that simply said, “I know today is going to be tough, but keep your chin up and smile.”...

Have you ever thought about how circular life is? Always reminds me of the awesome song from the Lion King, Circle of Life (which I love and will now be singing for the rest of the day… here’s the link if you want to join me: https://www...

Keeping Our Center ~ Day 50

04 May, 2020


Yesterday, I wanted to lift up and honor the communities that give us a sense of belonging, hope and light. Today, let me expand on the concept of community a bit. The larger reality, that has become strikingly obvious, is that we belong to the...

I looked around my office for inspiration yesterday and pulled a new book out of my “books to read” pile called “The Art of Is,” by Stephen Nachmanovitch, an internationally known improvisational violinist. And the book is wonderful! This is...

Keeping Our Center ~ Day 46

You are enough. That’s always been another consistent sermon theme for me. You know they say that pastors really preach to themselves, well, it’s true. This is a message I constantly need to hear. There are probably a gazillion reasons why we...

Play nice. That’s been another common sermon theme of my sermons. Seems pretty simple to me. Another way to put it is the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Why is this so hard? Truth be told, I wasn’t a very good...

Keeping Our Center ~ Day 44

28 Apr, 2020


Over the years I’ve realized that I basically preach three themes over and over again: God is Love, play nice, and you are enough . Sometimes I wonder why folks keep listening to my messages when I feel like I just find creative ways to say...
