"A Tender, Urgent, Spirit-infused Call"
First, I want to thank all of you who helped us save the petrol station in Kenya, which supports impoverished families near Kitale. As of last Friday, we were short almost $5,000 from reaching our goal. Someone called that morning and wanted to provide whatever we still needed. So, we had all we needed... Read More
We Are About Half Way There
Last week, I asked if you could help my friends in Kenya once again. They are about to lose the petrol station we built for them at a government auction due to nonpayment of fees they were unaware they owed. The profits from this station support an orphanage and education center, as well as... Read More
Once Again, Help for Kenya
Sara and I are back from our anniversary celebration in Alaska. We saw such immense beauty and thoroughly enjoyed our ten days together exploring this rich land. We saw some fantastic scenery and had some rich conversations reflecting on our journey together. We arrived home Sunday and are getting back at it around here.... Read More
Fifty Years of Wonder
Sara and I were married on May 17, 1975. Tomorrow, we will celebrate fifty years together, and we both feel incredibly grateful not only for the gift the other has been to us but also for God's help in navigating the last fifty years together to greater freedom and wholeheartedness. I used to think... Read More

Progress on the Home Front
I don't like using this page to share my medical progress. Still, I continue to hear from people who are reticent to get in touch with me for fear that I don't have the strength or time to handle their communication or that they want to give Sara and me the privacy to navigate... Read More
Resurrection Song
I've written about Jenny before. She's my favorite contemporary poet, writing from a deep place of pain as she negotiates the aftermath of a virus that caused severe M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis: inflammation of the brain and spinal cord). She is unable to sit up because of the strain on her cardiovascular system that has,... Read More
When Systems Come Crashing Down

When God Is Silent
I probably get the question in various forms two or three times per month. "Why is God silent?" I understand, having had that same question in my younger years. I cried out in excruciating pain to hear anything from God and felt like I was all alone in the universe. Why is he sometimes... Read More

He has a probing mind and drills down into the last two years of my journey since I was first on his podcast in 2023. Here's their blurb... Read More
