Hello on the last days of September, I have noted from time to time that I have these chronological couplets, where two significant figures or events from my life share a date. And today, the 27th of September is one of those days. It is the day I graduated from Marine Corps boot camp inContinue reading “A Jester’s Promenade”

Lee and Judy
Hello on an incredibly foggy morning, Last night as I was looking at my Facebook feed, there was a comment on a picture that was taken about 5 years ago. The picture was one of Lee and Judy Swenson, two people I was blessed to meet the summer of 1978, when they were my firstContinue reading “Lee and Judy”
Intent and Consequence
Hello at the end of a variable month, This week we’ve ushered in the fall, the harvest- and color-centric of the seasons. I have noted how this season is so significant for us both literally and figuratively in my recent posting, and certainly, those thoughts are central to me as the fall equinox has arrived.Continue reading “Intent and Consequence”
“Miracles Out of [Seemingly] Nowhere”
Hello as Autumn has arrived, While cooler, foggier mornings, nights without a need for air conditioning, and the turning of leaves into a painter’s pallet provide some experiential insight that something is happening, the calendar shouts out, that fall is upon us.

Finding Joy Despite Impermanence
Good morning on a Monday morning, Today is a typical autumn day, as it was chilly (even more so in a harbinger manner), but the afternoon should be delightful.

When does Autumn Arrive?
Hello on a September afternoon, It is warm and beautiful, with low humidity and a blue sky that seems even more spectacular after two cataract surgeries. Anyone who has experienced the drastic color difference will know what I mean. The changing of seasons, at least in terms of the calendar, are predictable. While the timeContinue reading “When does Autumn Arrive?”
The Ultimate University
Hello on the final holiday weekend of the summer, As I attended worship this morning, I was blessed to sit with two people who’ve become dear friends to me. While one is my former landlord after I sold the Acre, what I have learned is how incredibly astute he is as a land person, andContinue reading “The Ultimate University”
Being Content
Hello from my mini-mini-much less than the Acre, but homey nonetheless, As we finish the week, heading into Labor Day weekend, what is considered the sort of official end of summer is upon us. Where did it go? is a common question as we seem to meander our way through the days, weeks, and months.Continue reading “Being Content”
Who am I? Who are We?

Quite ideal for anyone wanting to get outside, moving back into the dorms or their apartment, and merely able to lay back and enjoy aContinue reading “Who am I? Who are We?”
