I have a best friend – thirty-four years of best. We don’t see each other often but long ago she started saying she couldn’t wait for our next adventure. I wonder if Jesus’ disciples thought the same way. With Jesus, life was anything but… Continue Reading “Adventure”

Recently I went to a 90th birthday celebration. Like all of us, he wonders…where have the years gone? We are created with an eternal instinct. We know that this chasing after life isn’t quite right. Yet the world we live in sets our deadlines,… Continue Reading “Time is near”
