    I’ll start with a bit of honesty. Yes, I am rapidly closing in on 60. And no, I am nowhere close to retiring from a pursuit of purpose. Now, don’t misunderstand me. My life is fulfilling. I am beyond satisfied with my current place in this journey we call “life.” I have the unbelievable privilege…

    One seed at a time. One life at a time. That is how most change happens. I recently helped a young man in Cameroon get set up on the United Nations Volunteers portal. I walked him through the entire process while offering some “advice” based on my own personal experiences during the past 3 years.…

    [NOTE: This was originally published back in 2014 when I was blogging anonymously on a self-created page entitled “Just a Thought Devotionals.” Just revisted this specific blog today and wanted to bring it over to this page. The only substantive changes are in the timeline referenced. Instead of “5 years” you can now insert “20…

  • Notes Along the Journey 05: To Serve and To Care

    The inspiration for this particular blog comes from a marvelous work by Paul Kalanithi entitled “When Breath Becomes Air.” It is a very open and transparent book written by neurosurgeon Paul Kalanithi, who was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 2013 at the age of 36. He would die two years later while working…

    First, none of what follows is meant to denigrate or demean anyone. I understand that the above phrase is popular in the world of social media. People employ it for a variety of reasons, and sometimes they really are sincerely asking for a simplified explanation of a complex topic (particularly if they are largely uninformed…

    Note: This is another case in which the blog isn’t really intentional per se. Over the years of my spiritual journey, I have tried to include daily Bible reading as part of my regimen. Now, I’ll be honest… sometimes I do well in terms of Bible reading (if we think of it solely as a…

    Note: By way of reminder… This particular stream of blogs is really just “online journaling” for me. I’m basically recording some of my own more personal thoughts for future reference. Not sure if they will have any relevance for anyone else who takes the time to read these. In this case, the source of my…

    I’ll be honest right here at the beginning. The title for this specific blog was meant to be a “hook.” It is bait that I intentionally used to reel in my potential audience. It works like this. Some people clicked the link because they immediately agreed. Others clicked the link because they were instantly angered.…
