Dear teenage me in the letter jacket with no letter
My daughter Emily has asked some friends to write a letter to their teenage self. She asked me, too. She has a new book, Graceful, for teenage girls. Even though I was a teenage guy, her book would have helped me. Here's my letter. Dear teenage me in the letter jacket with no letter, Hi. You...
Em -- chomp chomp. Thanks for the encouragement. I told your mom - she says she wants to write to her 30-year old self. I told her to write to her teen self warning her about her 30-year old self :)

Nester - Wore the dickey. And the orange socks--and pants were shorter then so you know, more glory.

Invitation to the Fuzzy Hoper Safari
Recently they went looking for Amelia Earhart again. Didn't find her again. They've looked for her remains and her plane for years. They won't give up hope. They're convinced something is there. I've read about the evidence and there's reason to be convinced. They could be wrong. But at least th...
Carol -- thanks! My fuzzy's still fuzzy AND scary. So good luck!

Expect the basement
Sooner or later you always get to the basement, in every relationship, family, workplace, organization, neighborhood, church. The basement is not where the bodies are. It’s not where the bad stuff is. The basement is where you see the stuff you don’t like It’s where the sausage is made. It’s t...
Kara -- Appreciate it. Don't you get tired of making decisions based on the basement?

Sorry for the confusion. Yes it's the Washington Monument. Sometimes I don't connect the dots enough :) I updated it.

'They' are right
They’re right about you and your hope. You’re right, too. If it hasn’t happened by now, you need to face reality. C’mon—twenty five years! You still believing in this thing? You talk about reasons, but sounds like excuses to me. Lack of leadership, no money, disagreements over what the thing sho...
Jen -- we've all got a story; we just share and the Lord decides how to use it. Thx

Shelley -- Stories of change inspire me, too, and shape my expectations and perspective.

Round -- Wow -- you're facing it and talking about it out loud. On your blog, I'd name your son, even if it's not his real name; or it could be a nickname. 'A' loses impact. Your adventure of drawing your own map could really help others.
