Advent 10 – Glory
Advent 9 – Prepare
What a perfect daily word for me on a Monday. The scout moto is "Be Prepared." So, I obviously took a photo of our scouts preparing for our weekly meeting as the SPL (senior patrol leader) reads the weekly announcements. In a minute, I will give instructions preparing them for this weekend's "camping" trip. Scouting... Continue Reading →
Advent 7 – Remember
Today’s photo may be a head scratcher as to how it ties to the word for the day... The discussions around the table all had some connection to the theme of memory/remembering. At one end of the spectrum of topics was a tutorial on setting up a password keychain on your iPhone. At the other... Continue Reading →
Advent 6 – Perceive
To paraphrase... Perception is in the eye of the beholder. It is not always easy to look at something and know exactly what the differences are between what you are seeing and what is actually there. True of images (http://www.bewareofimages.com). True of most things.

A Parable…
There once was a family of children who lived well in community. Though children, their ages varied greatly. Though family, their backgrounds were diverse. And while they lived well together, it is not to say that life was always smooth sailing. Life was a shared adventure in work, learning, worship, play, and service. Bumps along... Continue Reading →
Advent 2 – Presence
Yep... in case you're wondering that's the moon. Throughout human civilization, the moon has played an important part of our lives. I suspect, however, that most people in the modern era don't give the moon much thought. But I love the moon (even though I often take it for granted). I love watching it go... Continue Reading →
