Spirituality. Politics. Music. Life.
Ever since my medical tests last week, I’ve been visited by a vague and unsettled feeling. A restlessness of a sort. It’s a feeling that something’s changed even though, technically, nothing has. It’s not physical. Physically? I’m great. In fact, I’m better-than-great. I mean, what a gift to know (as the cardiologist said) my arteries […]
Read MoreOrdained ministry is not the only profession struggling with the role of women in leadership. Truthfully, I don’t know how we fare when set alongside other major professions. My hunch is, in some ways, the church is doing better than other professions. In other ways, probably far worse. These issues are difficult, of course, precisely […]
Read MoreThe incredible news of yesterday was no blockages!!!The doc said the arterties were “clear as the day you were born,” and the nurse called them “textbook.” YES!! Here’s the video… So, that means some kind of electrical problem with “extra” beats in between the regular cycle of beats.The doc is not worried about it […]
Read MoreTuesday morning, I will go in for an angiogram on my heart. This results from a series of tests that docs have been running on me in the past few weeks. It started with the recognition by my primary care doc that the electrical circuitry in my heart appeared to be off. (Just a routine […]
Read MoreIt’s a sad day for us around here. Early this afternoon, we said our final goodbyes to our dog, Grace. I won’t go into the long story. Sufficed to say, we’ve known this was coming for a long time. She was 14 or 15 in human years. Which is something like 100 for a dog. […]

Personal friends from all along the road…The good and wonderful folks at Northaven…Minister friends…Musicians friends…Justice-seekers…Political friends… […]

Because if you find yourself 50 years old and you aren’t doing what you love, then what’s the point?”— Jim Carrey “Every so often I read a book about age, and whoever’s […]
Read MoreIn just a few days, I’ll turn fifty. I could pretend to tell you all sorts of things about it, but frankly all I can say is that so far it sucks. I’m not handling “fifty” well. (btw, my Mom says she and Dad aren’t either…) I know, I know. It’s definitely “better than the […]
Read MoreToday is our 19-year anniversary. Hard to imagine that so much time has gone by. On our one year anniversary, Dennise said something like “Wow, the year has really flown.” I replied, inelegantly, “Are you kidding? It’s been the longest year of my life.” It wasn’t as bad as it sounds. Well, maybe it was. […]

Far too often, we hide behind masks of status, role, function. Sometimes power. Far too often, we are walking/talking stereotypes.
