Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.
A man who has positively impacted my life is the One who has given me eternal life: Jesus, fully God and fully Man.
“Peek”
It’s Heaven, I’m told
Paths of truth veined with gold
Sudden grandeur that stops you, cold
No next shoe set to drop — breath on hold
Poetry, penned, directly for me
Affinity
A kind of kindness that makes man’s soul free
It’s Heaven I see
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
There is the clock
There is the teardrop
Resting quietly atop my cheek
Daring this hour
Refusing to fall
Refusing to accept gravity
As if to remind me I am brave
And to encourage my tenderness
What happened, God can tell
What else remains, but to embrace each minute
Walk beyond the years
Since you’ve gone?

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
(My life without a Computer is better, stronger, faster….)
Then v. Now

Then
Somewhere on a foothill
The rocks we moved
The nights we prayed
The tree we made
All caused a clearing
And, though alone and without you
I can see celestially
Now
What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?
If my cultural heritage is not only a 3rd gen Greek, German, Irish, Swedish, Pole, but also a Child Of God, then I am most interested in that I can look back and see that, in all of my 56 years, God has always gifted me a window, that I might look outward and be in awe of Him. He knows I’ll run each morning to raise open the sash and search for the sunrise. He lets me hear the majesty of the wind, but also always lets me hear a small bird’s song. Do you hear the small bird’s song, too?

My flaw…fatal to my piousness
My world…colored by a hopefulness
Might I…take a chance on holiness
Comfort…sufferers of loneliness?

What makes a teacher great?
A skilled teacher has a willingness to let students’ natural curiosities and skills emerge to the forefront of learning during class time. Curriculum is important, but the students’ buy-in is more so.
What notable things happened today?
Four days ‘til my 56th birthday, and it finally dawned on me today that this storm is not without God’s presence.
O Coppery-satin bomber jacket, Coppery-satin bomber jacket! Wherefore art thou, Coppery-satin bomber jacket? Deny thy Goodwill bin and refuse the ravages of time….
Do you ever see wild animals?

It occurred to me this morning that there’s no magic formula that one has to uncover and put in place in order to see our Creator and say with conviction, “I know Him.”
Please add your comments below, but the point here is that if we take a moment to notice what is going on within and around us, isn’t it true that we’ll be shocked at how often God offers us the chance to see and know Him?
When you look into a loved one’s eyes;
When you witness others’ acts of kindness, or are yourself moved to help;
When you step outdoors, hear the birds and feel the air on your skin;
When you hear the lighthearted laughter of others;
When you’ve done something you know to be against your conscience;
When you’ve been given an actual or symbolic gift…of freedom, of friendship, of family, of self-acceptance, of economic opportunity, of peace, of joy, of patience;
When you have a “near miss;”
When you sit quietly, wait expectantly and then your heart hears His voice;
When you are on the other side of a challenge or obstacle you thought you could never have possibly overcome;
When you are in trouble, there’s a tragedy or you learn that you or a loved one has a life threatening illness and you turn and say without realizing why, “please God….”
When, with acceptance of your circumstances -good or otherwise- you finally decide, “it is well with my soul.”
It is during those events and countless others that we’ve witnessed God at work in the lives of His creation. Through this, we become his students, observing Him, dialoging with Him, being amazed at and often times confused or even angered by His ways. Then the relationship begins…and digging into John 3:16 becomes something on our bucket list.
