  • 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…

  • Random Thoughts: Mark 1

    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…

  • Notes Along the Journey 04: Aspirations, Daydreams, and Discipline

I simply say all that up front because much of the following post…

  • Notes Along the Journey 02: Available

    Remember, these are mainly for myself. Diary entries of a sort… It might or might not have any value for you, the reader 🙂 Just saying. “I know you can do anything you put your mind to. But I also know that none of us can do any of this alone. Now, look, I’ve never…

  • Notes Along the Journey 01: Perspective

    [Just a note of explanation at the very start here… This “string” of notes is really meant for myself. Think of it as a diary entry of sorts that is merely recording some personal musings or ponderings meant primarily for myself. In other words, the target audience is one (me, myself, and I), but I…
