Seeking endorsement?

September 17, 2010

It was early on Wednesday morning… a core group of students from Cherokee Trail High School were coming over for a planning meeting, a time in God’s Word, and a few pancakes. I helped Mary in the kitchen as we made final preparations for the gathering. By self-appointment I had determined what music should be […]

The Banner of Love

September 13, 2010

48,000 pedal strokes. That’s what I plan to do over the next forty-eight hours. After doing a little math I figured out that it will take that to complete a 150-mile bike ride. But the ride that I participate in tomorrow and Sunday isn’t about biking, or exercise, or competition… the ride tomorrow with Team […]

Names

September 7, 2010

Two weeks ago Desmond Matthew Horst was born. Within the first twenty-four hours of Desmond’s life he had several family visitors. Included in that list was Malia, Desmond’s two and a half year old cousin. When Malia entered room 403 at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Denver, she was poised, confident and ready for action. She […]

What’s best for me

August 27, 2010

“I have to do what’s best for me, and for my family.” This single sentence, or a variation of it, has proven to be a popular reprise for professional athletes, disgraced politicians, and nearly any and everyone wanting to escape the weight or obligation of unfulfilled expectations. It’s the trump card. The shortener of protracted […]

The Fullness of Time

August 20, 2010

“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son…” ~ Galatians 4:4 (ESV) The delivery date of the most significant human ever born was right on schedule. It was calculated with precision, with purpose, and with perfection. Under the inescapable inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul not only describes […]

Coming soon

August 13, 2010

  Coming soon – Fall 2008 Mirage Storage This statement is shown at the top of a small billboard that sits on a corner lot about one hundred yards from my office. I’ve driven past it many, many times… and frankly, it wasn’t until this morning that I actually read what it said. I’ve seen […]

Pictures

August 6, 2010

August 6, 2010 Last weekend Mary and I traveled to Kansas City for the wedding of a close friend. We included family pictures on our packing list so that we could appropriately and visually update individuals that we had lived side by side with for twelve years. We did our best to select the best […]

Splash more

July 30, 2010

July 30, 2010 Twenty-five years ago as I knelt next to a bathtub in our home in Fort Wayne I had a singular purpose in mind… scrub the boys; remove the unwanted remnants of a day of play. Wash cloth, soap… and elbow grease provided the necessary tools to perform the crisply-bordered activities that were […]

How He Loves

July 23, 2010

July 23, 2010 I stood in the back of the "Club Room" – a room configured for large groups at Quaker Ridge Camp in Woodland Park, Colorado – the room oozed with energy. I was a guest, a day visitor, an outsider, unknown to the young people that were focused forward. Teenagers from Texas, Colorado, […]

Cadence

July 16, 2010

I’ve long been drawn to the speedometer that is attached to the handlebar of my bicycle. I confess… to a fault. My multi-function Cateye brand gage is a powerful little tool. It provides useful feedback both during and after a ride. Perhaps the most significant function provided by this handy device is the cadence monitor. […]
