Sometimes East From West Is Not Far Enough

My wife, Diane, has kept a journal since 1976, all handwritten, and over 2000 pages long. This year, she decided to digitize it to make it more accessible, especially for our kids. So, every day, she spends some time typing the words into her computer. It has been an interesting experience as she calls me […]Read Post ›

It Was Better In Egypt

If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat around pots of meat and ate as much food as we wanted, but now you have brought us out into this wilderness to have this whole community die of hunger. Exodus 16:3 Every time I read through this […]Read Post ›

New Hope Every Morning

I was waiting for Driver to finish his now almost nightly 1:30 am trip to the backyard and thinking, “This has to be part of a dog’s aging process,” when it hit me–this was not only his schedule. More times than I care to admit, I also wake up around 1:30 am to address a […]Read Post ›

It describes how we can distort those things around us in an effort to maintain our own reality. In common terms–we cannot see the forest for all the trees. I think I […]Read Post ›

Still In Production

A few weeks ago I pulled up in front of our house and just sat there. What happened next was kind of different. It was a moment akin to when your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. No I am not dead. What went through my mind were pictures of the some of the […]Read Post ›

Recovery is – Tent Camping Past 60!

This topic had its genesis about 32 1/2 years ago. At that time, I was early into my recovery and preparing to speak at a retreat for alcoholics and their families. I happened to mention this to a coworker who replied with “You alcoholics! When you are drinking you brag about how much you can drink and […]Read Post ›
