In life, despite the myriad of choices and paths that seem to present themselves, there is ultimately only one road available for us to travel. This road is uniquely ours, shaped by our experiences, decisions, and the journey we undertake. The true freedom we possess lies not in the number of paths we can take, but in how we choose to walk the path set before us. Will we tread this path with the ignorance of a fool, oblivious to the lessons and wisdom it offers? Or will we embrace the journey with the humility and insight of a wise fool, aware of our limitations yet open to growth and understanding? The choice is ours, and it defines the essence of our existence.

  • Presented at Dayspring Church 10/23 Let’s begin this service with a confession, shall we?  Cary and I have a new guilty pleasure—we like a new television comedy show entitled The Good Place.  Okay, another confession, I really like the show—Cary…

  • Jesus is our savior not because he was superman but because in the midst of being human he knew how to remain connected to God. One of the goals of a Christian is to be changed into the likeness of…

  • There is so much more to life than what we see. Even when it appears we are making a hard goodbye–nothing is really happening. As a mystic, I walk between the nonphysical and physical worlds–constantly receiving information from both even…

  • When Ego asks, “How long is this situation going to go on,” Surrender says, “It goes on until it doesn’t.” Right now my mom is in hospice.  This is the result of a massive stoke that has greatly incapacitated her. …

  • The story of Jesus turning water into wine is one of my favorites. It has always seemed to me to be a bit of a cheeky story. A bit irreverent—and brash. You know, something like drawing mustache on Mrs. Grundy’s…
