In Part 1 of “It’s All About me! – Or Maybe It Isn’t” I shared a deeply personal journey which painfully brought me to an awareness that a significant cultural shift was taking place; love was being redefined. For centuries love was an expression of personal sacrifice on behalf of others. Societies honored people based [...]
In November of 1987 I was confronted with a tragedy of epic proportions when I learned that sixteen of my dearest friends had been massacred on a peace and reconciliation project we were deeply involved with in the African nation of Zimbabwe. Even years later, it is hard to write about because very few if [...]
While getting older has been hard on my body, surprisingly it has been elevating for my soul. One of the great ironies of life is just as your skin starts to sag you finally feel comfortable in it! It’s a bit like owning an old pair of blue jeans where each rip or stain has [...]

REVEALING STATISTICS According to the American Bible Societies 2016 research, 88% of Americans own a Bible and 80% view it as sacred. Here is where it gets interesting; 57% say they read it less than four times per year.[i] That would be the majority of us! I receive a great many surprising looks, some sheepish, [...]
