Do You Want to Talk with Me?
The last few years have brought a lot of change to the trajectory of my journey. Living loved is taking me to places I've never considered and brought more joy and fullness to my life than I've ever known. I've shared most of the changes in that journey on the weekly podcast as well... Read More
Painting with Flowers
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting. Ralph Waldo Emerson My wife paints with flowers, and what an amazing job she does.

May You Bloom and Grow Forever
I never expected to be undone in the middle of a theatrical production of The Sound of Music, but I was. I tell this story in today’s podcast, Unmanipulatable, but I wanted to share it here as well for those who might miss it there. Last Saturday, Sara and I went to see this... Read More

Is There Any Vengeance in God?
Proposal: There is no vengeance in God's agony for the sin of the world. I'm putting that out there, hoping to start a conversation with many of you. I grew up believing God was incredibly vengeful. The Old Testament writers convinced me. Their writings were full of God-is-going-to-get-you passages against Israel's enemies, and even... Read More

A Culture of Abuse
I listened to this yesterday and how wish everyone else would too. It isn't easy to listen to, but this presentation by Sheila Wray Gregoire, an author and researcher on sexual abuse offers some critical information for us to understand the culture of abuse that permeates Christianity. According to her research, much of evangelical... Read More
And the Lessons You Will Learn
Not only did we go to some amazing places, talked with a lot of incredible people, but we also learned so much about each other and how God is working in us. Every day is an adventure in the life of Jesus no matter where we are. I love how he shows up in... Read More
The People You Will Meet...
We meet many people in RV Parks who are traveling to National Parks or other points of interest. We've seen some interesting sights, too, including forests, beaches, historic towns, Churchill Downs, and even the new Sphere in Las Vegas. But what governs our travel is the people we meet and the invitations people extend... Read More
Oh, The Places You'll Go...
It's weird setting out on a trip, unsure of where you'll go, how long you'll stay, and when you'll return. This is our third such excursion across the U.S. Each day begins with an early morning walk with our dogs. I take one early for about two miles, and Sara joins me for the... Read More
The Last Leg of a Beautiful Trip
As Sara and I turn toward home, our hearts are filled with joy from this time together, and the countless conversations we've had with people from all over the U.S. We even had people fly in or drive great distances to be with us for some of our gatherings. There were also many spontaneous... Read More

Seeing God as He Really Is
Some in the religious establishment have so disfigured God that people see him as a demanding tyrant who orchestrates horrible tragedies to punish or train them. They don't know God as a loving Father or Jesus as a gracious Redeemer who is not manipulating the chaos of darkness to torment them into obedience; Father... Read More
Holding on to Love
Sara and I are making a big turn up the east coast this week and begin our journey westward on Monday, with stops in Lexington and Louisville this weekend. From there, it looks like we're going to go through St. Louis and Kansas City to visit our son in Denver. If you're along that... Read More
A Day of Rich Celebration
We woke up today in Richmond, VA after a beautiful two days in Charlottesville, VA, with long-time friends, the kind of people you just enjoy hanging out with. We also woke up today celebrating forty-nine years as a married couple, and we will be having lunch today with the man who officiated at that... Read More
Help Desperately Needed in Kenya
I don't have time for long explanations with our current travel schedule, but our friends in Kenya once again find themselves in dire straits. For those who don't know, a few years back we helped rescue over 200,000 people in Pokot who were dying from a drought and had no fresh water. We not... Read More
Sara's Story of Hope and Healing
Sara and I are in Charlotte, NC. The first day we got here, Vince Coakley asked me to be on his radio show. He hosts a Transformation Tuesday segment, and wanted us to share our story.
