This past Sunday, I skipped church. I do that from time to time. Either I wake up feeling icky and don’t want to infect others or had a very late night because of work and just don’t want to get going in the morning. Sometimes I am out of town or have something important that […]

Go Beyond
The other half and I have been geocaching for six years now. But it wasn’t until recently that we found a greater community of geocachers. We had a couple of friends that cached (in fact, one of them GOT us into geocaching). But when it came to actually meeting the people who were hiding the […]

Be a part of the story
This past Sunday, less than twenty people were gathered to worship at the usual time at the tiny church I attend in my little swath of the Midwest. Instead of gathering in the sanctuary, most of us instead sat in Fellowship Hall, congregating around tables as we snacked on treats and watched a livestream of […]

Be unwritten yet inspired
I think my most favorite song in the world is Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. Part of the chorus goes like this: This week is the week of Pentecost, the birthday of the Christian church according to the story in the second chapter of the book of Acts in the Bible. It was the day that […]
