GRADUATION DAY
GRADUATION DAY The Road Not Taken High School is a classic love-hate relationship, a time to remember or forget, a nightmare on Elm Street or the Yellow Brick Road, a bridge to nowhere, or a bucket full of possibilities. The days of puppy love and home-cooked meals...
The Blood Red Moon
The Blood Red Moon I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The Sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord Joel 2:31 & Acts 2:20 A Blood Moon...
Tend My Garden
It is time for planting the gardens.
Human Expression Versus Human Perfection
Human Expression Versus Human Perfection Yo-Yo Ma makes the cello speak to the soul. I watched him play, and I could feel the sound pressing on my heart. Something about those frequencies that sound like the voice of God high up on the mountain. As I watched, he...
Photography is Easy
Photography is Easy God did all the hard work I enjoy all genres of photography, but my preference is landscape and wildlife. Immersing myself in nature is soul-healing. My restless urge to seek beauty is a holy calling, holy in aim, means, and end. Photography can...
The First Supper The Easter Promise
The First Supper The Easter Promise Raised as a Christian, my father's side Catholic, and my mother's side Lutheran was the fertile soil for this discussion. I lived next door to my grandma Bondly but visited my grandma and grandpa Jordahl on the farm twenty miles...

Beautiful, Beautiful Boy

Stairway to Heaven
Stairway to Heaven In my eleven years living in Hawaii, I have hiked many miles into Oahu's mountains and distant shores. Most locations are tourist traps as well-traveled as Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, but a few are remnants of what the pristine paradise must have...
The Yellow Brick Road…or is it pink?
The demonstrator handed me a folded piece of paper and instructed me to read what he wrote on the note he passed me, then whisper what I read to the person sitting next to me. Then the audience would do the same, each, in turn, turning to the person next to them and...
Winter of Discontent… Spring is coming
Winter of Discontent Spring is coming Spring is coming; I am counting the days. I know it is senseless to wish away any time in life. I can't help myself; I love experiencing the childhood joy of spring. Life seems to blossom afresh as the melting white snow gives...
