I am a regular contributor to the Danbury News Times Forum on Faith column, which is also picked up by the Connecticut Post and the Stamford Advocate. Here is today’s article:

In recent weeks I’ve been pondering the list below, posted by my brother-in-law on Facebook. I regularly do pretty well on about half of them, and at least one of them is a huge struggle for me. Do you want to join me in earnestly trying to do all ten daily?
Often we think of heaven as an arrival, either here or hereafter, but wisdom eventually teaches us that actually it is more about the journey than the destination. Today when praying, I considered the possibility that heaven was that marvelous long sought after moment when our ultimate potential has been fulfilled. What then, though, I … Read more
Tattooed on Your Heart What do you have tattooed on your heart? What is irrevocably etched on your soul, your being, your character? Is it lovingkindness, gently giving voice only to good?

I just want to say that any of you that still have got me on a pedestal, you better just go ahead and get me off of it. I can’t take one more person saying, “I don’t know how you do it all.” Truth is, I don’t. I’ve got scads of unprocessed piles and legions … Read more

Here is today’s article: Life Lessons are Everywhere, if You’re Watching How is your summer going? Aside from a few blistering days, we’ve had some great weather. I’ve … Read more
I was reminded recently of something heard years ago in a Presbyterian sermon that has set me pondering over the years, and I realized that you may find it relevant to think about as well: “Tradition is the living faith of those now dead, traditionalism is the dead faith of those now living.” So, what … Read more
