I’m finding it difficult to carve out time to write while traveling in Zimbabwe. Besides the constant power outages which end up depleting all my electronic devices, it’s been a whirlwind of unanticipated activity. I have been on the most extraordinary journey the last couple months, which at times has left me in awe and [...]
It was the Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus (535 BC – 475 BC) who became renowned for his worldview that “change” was a core and consistent dynamic of the universe. From this perspective came the saying “The only constant is change”. Later, Heraclitus also established a term familiar to Christians… “Logos”. For many Greek philosophers, [...]
One of my clients was once a Top Gun fighter pilot for the US Air Force. Top Guns are just that, the top gun or pilot in their class. His particular life story I found both fascinating and instructive. He had been captivated by flight since a child and his Type A personality dreamed for [...]

Over the last few months we have been looking at the rather inconsistent and perplexing trajectory in the life of Joseph ben Israel of biblical fame. Though an ancient story, we see when unpacking it that human life even with all of its great advancements in technology, remains strangely analogous over the eons of time. [...]
Dear Reader, I first wrote the core of this blog nearly 10 years ago. Initially I was really taken back at how it made its way around the country and the world for that matter. Over time, I have received a great many encouraging emails from people who were personally moved by my retelling of [...]
