A few years ago, a friend of mine sent me what I thought was another personality test. On the surface that appeared to be accurate. The test took about 5 minutes and asked me a series of questions about how I felt about certain things, what I would do in certain situations, etc. Then youContinue reading “What’s Up with the Enneagram?”

Sufficient
adjectivesuf·fi·cient | \ sə-ˈfi-shənt : enough to meet the needs of a situation or a proposed end In our supersized society, we hear the word sufficient and think it isn’t adequate. We like to be prepared, to have extra, to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we won’t run out. We like to feel in control. We likeContinue reading “Sufficient”
Perspective
How many times have you thought, hindsight is 20/20? If we had known some information now it would have changed how we went about a current situation. With age we grow wise to how life is a series of interactions with others. Will we approach them well or not? The fire on the boardwalk fromContinue reading “Perspective”
Children at Play
Have you ever sat at a playground and watched children play? For many of us this is how we fill our days in some seasons of our lives. The kids climb, slide, and run as happy as can be. Nothing is wrong in their world. As each new child arrives they are welcomed into whateverContinue reading “Children at Play”

They have started making bad passes and committing silly fouls. Now our center is yelling at the point guard about a missed opportunity.Continue reading “Take a Timeout”

The harness allows you to tie in to the belay rope and climb safely. The belayContinue reading “It’s The Climb”
Nevertheless, she persisted
per·sist/pərˈsist/verb continue firmly in an opinion or a course of action in spite of difficulty, opposition, or failure. What sets elite athletes apart from everyone else? It’s not talent; many talented people have faded into oblivion. It’s not strength; strength alone isn’t enough. It’s not skill; skill may turn heads, but won’t stand on it’sContinue reading “Nevertheless, she persisted”
Relationships are Worth the Work
Who do you call when something exciting happens? Who gets the sad text of loss or fear? These are the people I refer to as “My People”. Through thick and thin I can reach out and know they will be there. Our lives ebb and flow with positive and negative situations, however when we haveContinue reading “Relationships are Worth the Work”
Beyond Weary
What does it mean to be weary? Weariness is different than tired. Tired implies short term. If I’m tired I might need sleep or a short break from activity. Weariness implies weight and length of time. It is lots of tired’s stacked together. Weary is overwhelmed, solemn, almost defeated. It encompasses not just the physical,Continue reading “Beyond Weary”
