Mother’s Day has me looking through old photographs, reminiscing. My kids are older now, 19, 17 and 14. They aren’t thrilled to have their picture taken. I have so many good ones from when they were kids. I love the pictures of them all together, the way they hang on each other, lean in to

The Mirror Moment
I don’t know anymore. I hear them say the country is going to hell in a hand basket. And I think but God… I listen to reports of protesting and fear and anger. People imagining a particular outcome is certain doom. And I think but God…. I hear of church corruption and abuse and people

Rocky Mountain Lessons in Life
The people in Colorado have it right. Here’s how I see it. They live in the most beautiful place. It’s like when God created Colorado, he was having a really, really good artistic moment. It’s perfect. The people there know that. It’s not like they take it for granted. They seek the beauty and they
