You know what I find annoying besides Crowdfunding? When I walk into a store, and I’m just in the mood to look around, and the clerk says ‘Can I help you Sir?” It’s annoying! And it seems a little pushy on their part. But I get over it. So do you. We know thats “Just […]
“Enjoy the ride!” When it comes to trusting God, sometimes that is all you can tell someone. Last August, some good friends said exactly that about trusting God in our future plans. I attended a reunion/prayer retreat in Council Bluffs, IA – the brainchild of my good friend Shun Lee Fong – Principle Creative / […]
How are you doing on this damp July day? Funny. July and damp. Do these go together? Not usually. But it’s been like that in Minnesota the past few weeks. And sometimes life is that way – things that normally don’t go together seem to come along. We take the good with the bad. Our […]
Walt Disney. What a dreamer. He said: “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” What is your dream? If you look at my life history, I think it’s obvious that God called me to be an eternal creative force in the world. To be honest, it hasn’t been […]
“You’re so annoying!” That’s exactly what my wife said to me recently after a friendly discussion about the garbage disposal. I don’t know why she said it.

Starting in 1914 and lasting 4 years up to 1918, ” The Great War” was an unbelievably brutal conflict in which Germany fought Britain, The United States and […]
I remember hearing that phrase over and over every Sunday morning when my mom and dad would get us three boys ready for church. Like most good church-goers, my family strongly adhered to the popular adage – “look your Sunday best for God.” And we did. Every Sunday, we wore clothes that we would never […]
Good Day to you! It’s kinda nice to have someone give us a nice warm greeting each day, isn’t it? I once knocked on a door of someone’s home as I was inviting people to a special event at our church, and was quite shocked when the owner of the home opened the door and, […]
In Luke 9:46 we have recorded a rather hilarious event that took place among the disciples. Apparently they felt it was necessary to establish a pecking order among themselves early on. This of course resulted in an argument – and the ones who were the most outspoken basically “got dibs” on the titles such as […]
Yes! If you have been following my “Now & Later” Series you have made it to the final post… Congrats are in order! Basically the notion that we can have good friends both for now and later is not that incredibly deep. Many people have best friends for a lifetime. I wish my life worked […]
