Hey Dear!
So I thought we’d take part in this because, you know, our relationship hasn’t been all that smooth over the years. Probably because I live too much in my head and haven’t appreciated often enough what you bring to this existence. Even [...]
This blues thing, I’ve got going on. It’s almost entirely related to having to change jobs.
This has been such a good year at this church, with this staff, with these choirs and this congregation. I used to feel good about changes. It meant that new and better things were coming alone for me. I embraced [...]
I was supposed to play a round of golf with GolfPro this morning, but I misunderstood which course. GolfPro and another of his students were at a course all the way across town from where I was. Ooops.
So I went to the driving range and then back to the coffee shop to work on what [...]
Coffee ‘no boost in the morning’
That morning latte or espresso may not be the pick-me-up people think it is, a study has revealed. [...]
I remember being here. Finding myself in this ancient Hebrew song.
Does it help to know you’re not alone? Does it help to know that an ancient poet wrote this ode chronicling his (her?) time in the abyss? That someone else has felt as abandoned and helpless and hopeless as you do, now?

But today is still Epiphany. Culturally we use the word to mean a revelation, an “A-ha!” moment. It’s not completely [...]
That I can say or do the right thing to convince you otherwise.

An open letter to my friends JvH and AR…and probably a few others,

Sometimes we believe the messages, the little tapes [...]
Yesterday was fun and restful. I went to bed at a decent hour. Why why why am I so tired this morning? I just can’t get going! All I want is to sleep. I worry that this is moving into too long a time for SAD and may be a return of a deeper ‘blues’ [...]
