  • Spiritual Formation is not a Program

    Thoughts on the deep importance of spiritual formation HERE. I am still evaluating how to move forward in the blogging world. This post on spiritual formation was already scheduled on Substack. I appreciate feedback on the different formats (this blog on WordPress and Substack). Read more

  • Re-evaluating my use of Substack and this blog

    Over a year ago I made the move to Substack and kept this blog present so if I didn’t like Substack, I could come back here. THIS ARTICLE is part of my evaluation as I think through how to navigate the “blogging” world. I still love blogging and posting. Has this site been more effective… Read more

  • A major shift

    After many years of posting on WordPress, I am looking to take my writing over to Substack. I want to give it a try as I see many of my friends moving that direction. I won’t have a subscription rate other than free. (That is the one thing I dislike about Substack.) So, please look… Read more

  • Half a million words

    Somewhere in the last few days I noticed I passed 4800 posts since starting this blog back in the dark ages. I think I’ve been at this for 9 years. There are so many other forms of communication and writing that have come and gone since then… and I here I sit. If I wrote… Read more

  • 90,000

    I have finally passed 90,000 views for my blog. Small potatoes in the blogging world, but for me a moment to say thanks. I am so encouraged to know people are reading, and the comments I get on Facebook. I am also grateful for those I meet and they compliment my posts. It’s gratifying. Thank… Read more

  • To be … or not to be…

    Just when I get introduced to a good blogger, he goes away. But I sure understand his reasons. Modern liberals and conservatives continue to control the discussion. Those of us who think otherwise are marginalized because we refuse to accept the power and influence of those who are members of the extremes. I get that… Read more

  • Online Bible Resources

    Occasionally when I add in a text reference I link the text to Biblegateway.com. I am part of their “blog gridder” team, which means… well… I have no idea what it means. Just a badge to put on my blog and make me look cool. But Biblegateway is an excellent tool for online Bible resources.… Read more
