My “save box” is a not-so-fancy plastic container filled with treasures, bits and pieces of life: a small plastic dinosaur from a vacation to Dinosaur National Monument when I was 5, the hat my grandpa wore, my musical jewelry box, amazingly candid letters I wrote my parents freshman year in...

Scary + Beautiful

None of my photos do Bryce Canyon justice. It is overwhelmingly beautiful. The red and orange tones against a bright blue sky, the spectacular rock formations; words don’t quite capture it either. The girls and I were excited about our horseback ride into the canyon. When we arrived at the... Continue reading

On vacation our family took a beautiful, challenging hike to Utah’s lower Calf Creek Falls. After a stop to rest and admire the fantastic falls and the cool, foresty oasis we began the 3 mile trek back to the car. There were enough steep rocky climbs in the hot sun... Continue reading

Sometimes life is black and white. Take these two tomatoes, both planted in pots, both started from seed, approximately the same height, but dramatically different. One tomato plant is loaded with fruit and the other is completely barren, not one green tomato. This year as I make my way through... Continue reading

Drink untreated water in Mexico, or even Johnson County and you will soon be sick and miserable. The unfiltered assessments of others will have the same affect on your heart and mind that impurities in the water have on your body. I’ve taken many business and personality assessments. What I...

I forget some important things, like names, and remember some useless things, like words to a song I liked in high school. This is one of the more annoying things about aging. Fortunately, some things just stick with us. I’ll never forget walking my favorite trail with a hawk sailing... Continue reading

If Jesus worked at my job I think He would... If Jesus worked at my job I’m sure He would serve with excellence simply because His Father placed Him there. What if Jesus worked at your job? Ask God to make you more aware of what He is doing through... Continue reading

Leviticus is not my favorite book of the Bible but this year I am trying to read from God’s perspective and so I’m trying to keep an open mind. Check out Leviticus 11:44-45: “For I am the Lord your God. You must consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am... Continue reading

Put your foot in the water...

A good running day can be elusive. When I set out on the trail I am open to walking, running, or both but I don’t always know how far I’ll go. I love my perfect section of trail; so many great memories walking with friends and family, time alone with... Continue reading

Me loving you is woven into your life as surely as your green eyes. Me loving you is your history as much as your brother punching you when no one was looking, or holding your new born daughter, or kissing your dad goodbye. Me loving you isn’t a reward for... Continue reading

I can hear my mom right now, “did you practice your piano?” A guitar player for 4 or 5 years, in eighth grade I decided to switch to piano. I’d admired songs my brothers and sisters played on the upright piano that sat against one wall in our living room.... Continue reading

In Exodus 25 God instructs Moses to tell the people of Israel that everyone who wants to may bring Him an offering. An offering is a gift, any resource we give back to God, for example: money, possessions, time, experiences, skills, wisdom, etc. An offering is solemn, an act of... Continue reading

Friday I toured areas in Kansas City where work is underway to improve access to healthy food, like fruits and vegetables. Not only are there no grocery stores in sight, most of these neighborhoods also have no sidewalks making it dangerous for kids to ride their bike or walk to... Continue reading

Do you fill the gas tank in your car as soon as the indicator light comes on? It’s a logical response since there’s no way to be sure how much gas is left and how far it will take you. Recently, I was pretty sure my mp3 player didn’t have... Continue reading

Christmas in July

Check out Luke 22, the disciples were preparing for the Passover meal, their last supper together. Jesus tells them they will meet a man in the city carrying a jar of water, “He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.” I’m sure the city was... Continue reading

Birthday Present

My friend shared her experience of asking God for a birthday present with such excitement and wonder, I wanted to experience God’s gift for me. Check out Matthew 7:11: If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your... Continue reading

Check out this little sprout. Last year when I started my garden plants indoors I planted too many seeds in each pot and had to pull out some sprouts so one seedling could be strong. I didn’t like that approach so this year I put a single seed in each... Continue reading

Who do you judge: evaluate, label, estimate, decide about, form a critical opinion of? Over the past year God nudged (shoved!) me to quit judging myself using my artificial measures of success. Ouch! I discovered that the same measure with which I judged myself, I often judged others. It seemed... Continue reading

Imagine the unresolved hurts of your life are in a bucket…like this. Ok this is a bucket of fish for the sea lions but I don’t want to touch the fish or the pain if I don’t have to! Left untended hurts pile up. Lack of forgiveness leads to anger... Continue reading

This year I’m starting my garden seedlings with the benefit of a grow light. It’s just a single 4 foot long fluorescent bulb suspended from the ceiling that provides consistent light to get the seeds in the sprouting mood. I haven’t done any research but I believe seeds are sprouting... Continue reading

I can relate to the scouts sent by Moses, at God’s instruction, to explore the land of Canaan. As you read Numbers 13:25-33 remember this was the land God promised the Israelites, His chosen people. After exploring the land for forty days, the men returned to Moses, Aaron, and the... Continue reading
