Climbing the mountain - The Pagosa Springs Sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I look around, I see exhaustion in everyone. It’s like we are all climbing a steep slope to a distinct peak. Guess what? We are. Many of us are too busy climbing the mountain that we lose sight of Jesus waiting for us at the summit. As I walk through the last days of my Sweet Al’s life, I am seeing little things, which I missed in the climb. The summit is becoming clearer as I reach the top and a new panorama is in view. As I look back over the years, the climb is paling, fatigue is gone an
Memories of the boys of fall - The Pagosa Springs Sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kenny Chesney’s “The Boys of Fall” always takes me back. The first cool breath of autumn, the scent of freshly cut hay, the first leaves beginning to turn yellow — football season arrives, and with it comes a rush of memories. For many years, football has been more than a game in our family — the rhythm of fall, the talk around our family’s dinner table. Plays re-playing from the previous Friday night’s game, informing everyone the upcoming schedule and planned weekends around kickoff. From the
Finding the truth about yourself - The Pagosa Springs Sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently shared a teaching with the Wolf Creek Christian Writers Network built around one stirring word: axiom. For weeks, this word “axiom” exploded in my mind — a foundational truth accepted as self-evident. It is the ground beneath an argument, the first principle from which everything else proceeds. There are no middle options in an axiom; it is a starting point. In its simplest form, an axiom declares: this is true. For writers, that truth matters immensely. We must write from the truest
Cobwebs in the corner - The Pagosa Springs Sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before the fire, my daughter and son-in-law came to do some deep cleaning. They swept cobwebs out of corners, cleaned away which had been hidden and brought attention to things long forgotten. Yet, even then, some cobwebs seemed to linger unnoticed. When life suddenly demands attention, usually cobwebs are the last thing on my mind. But, sooner or later, there is a wake-up call, a moment that forces us to look at what shouldn’t still be there. Emotional cobwebs can remain hidden until something
Tip of the spear, piercing through resistance - The Pagosa Springs Sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I like to think of myself as a dinner bell for the spiritually hungry — one who speaks revelation from heaven in words that brings clarity to hard-to-understand truth. I’ve spent my whole life searching the scriptures. Yet, in love and care for others, I have found myself at the tip of the spear — speaking truth, piercing the skin and sometimes drawing blood, being the bad guy in the room. When my children and grandchildren call and ask for prayer, I tell them I’ll pray. But I also ask whether t
