One of the biggest and most pleasant surprises for me after publishing Lessons from the Source was the number of people who began contacting me to thank me for “coming out of the closet” and going public about the fact that I had been doing this kind of spiritual writing for so many years. As [...]

I woke up yesterday feeling pretty grumpy, thinking about how tired and overworked and pressured I felt. (Of course, when you work alone, there’s only one person to blame for all of that.) My morning devotionals helped bring a feeling of greater peace, but I certainly wasn’t feeling or expressing much joy. I had coffee [...]

As my family and friends will tell you, my mind stores an astonishing number of seemingly trivial bits of information that often manage to jump to the front of my brain and out of my mouth for no apparent reason.

To be honest with you, I never expected to be writing a blog. But, of course I never expected to publish a book, either ― and look what happened! Isn’t it a joy how life keeps offering us so many surprises? My life’s journey has been a wonderful adventure, and I’ve been richly blessed by [...]
Welcome to my blog. I’m glad you’re here. Blogging is an entirely new adventure for me, and I’m excited about being able to visit with you in this way.
The musings about life and spirituality that I’ll be sharing with you will be from the perspective of a 67-year-old guy who spent most of his life trying to figure out what he wanted to be when he grew up ― and finally got it.
You can find out about my book, Lessons from the Source, on the rest of this website, but this blog is a place for sharing thoughts and ideas.
We’re all on the spiritual path together, and we all have insights and perspectives to share with each other. My hope is that some of mine will be helpful and thought provoking for you.
Thanks for visiting. Many blessings.
