Nature or Nurture – Adam to Noah

In … Read More

Faithful In Season

For many of y’all, spring has fully arrived, and you’re anxiously awaiting summer. Here in my neck-of-the-woods, we’re never sure what the day might bring. Sometimes rainy and 50’s. Other times sunny and 70’s or even 80’s. Believe me…I’m ANXIOUSLY awaiting the Pacific Northwest’s full-blown summer. Does anyone yearn for winter’s bone-chilling cold? Maybe not, … Read More

Worship Where You Are

I’ve never been a great singer, but I sang in choir at our first church. My choir escapades are epic, actually. An Easter Sunday cantata in which I sang a long, strong high note right in front of the microphone—and burped. Oh, yes. One of my finest moments. It was at a Christmas cantata with … Read More
