"The Write Type Of Change"

Running along the canal, there are all sorts of passerbys... A girl in long black hair, always dressed in black, frown on her face. An elderly man and woman holding hands, with sunshades and a fannypack. A helper pushing along an elderly man on a wheelchair Another patiently walking alongside an elderly woman using a walking stick. A muscular and genuinely good looking Caucasian running with chest hair swaying as his heart pumps blood to his well toned muscles. The girl in sp

Not many people know this lady but a friend introduced me a song of hers twenty five years ago. Her name is Ginny Owens and she was blind from the age of 3, but a song she sang "I am Nothing" really distilled a unique and profound sense of mission today. These days, however, the concept of missions has changed largely into an action based message. The reality of my career is that I have always been asked to do "missions", whether it's proclamation, discipleship, service, soci

Life stages by the Bible. Genesis: The Infancy Stage – Foundational birth, introduction to life, and the initial bond with the Creator (parent). Exodus / Leviticus: The Rule-Setting Stage – Learning the "law," essential boundaries, and the right way to live within a family/community.

Who would? Even if you see it positively, or negatively, does it mean that it's correct? The human mind and heart and soul are complex.. yet we as humans, try to decipher it. They use translations, logic, or even a brilliant narrative infused with emotions to try to make sense of a thought or intent. And we impose our own idealism, but sometimes pragmatism, sometimes even with a cycle and framework of consistency to lend weight to it. Many things, seem right, yet to others so

2026 is here. No one really knows how I am feeling inside but many things broke down in 2025 but somehow I feel a conviction my time in the wilderness is coming to an end. Yet when it does, it will continue to be what many would consider irrational, possibly chaotic, very likely stupid and maybe even unfathomable and very much what people would say is a waste. Yet for me, it is necessary and the only way out. On the last day of 2025 and on the first Sunday of 2026, the convic

It's been a while since I wrote but silence can also be a powerful statement in a noisy world. Yesterday, was a day I could not help but remember. From in the midst of the night where one of the most cruel dreams took place - I dreamt I lost my kid in the midst of a train ride, thinking he was with his brother but how he slipped us by while we were in the midst of conversation as adults. It was a stark reminder to myself how even in leading our adult lives, we cannot forget o
