Can’t Believe Your Eyes? Ask to Touch
I think maybe Thomas, you know, the one we call doubting Thomas, was a Kinesthetic Christian. The one who said, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my fingers where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.” (John 20:25) (the “it” being that Jesus […]
Finding Peace in my Interval Training Life
Go as hard as you can, then rest. Then do it again and again and again. That is how interval training works. It is the most effective and efficient way to train at high intensity. I design these programs for the elite athletes I train and the wannabe’s too. They love them. Unfortunately, I think they […]
2 May Be Company and 3, a Crowd, but 4 is a Relay
We Methodists do like to think, but I’m one day back from the beach and Pastor Tom tackles the Trinity…Really? I remember being taught that our minds couldn’t think two things at the same time. The teacher challenged us to try it. I still remember struggling to hold onto one image while introducing a different one. The best […]
Interactive Learning, Impact at the World’s Pace
Young people, I find, have no problem with trying stuff. Hey, push that button and see what it does! Click here and see what happens. Download this program, it’s great. They are not afraid of the new, the different, the thing they don’t know what it does. They are immediately willing to engage with the […]
Why Invest in Something Temporary?
Why spend so much time and energy on something so temporary? This was my thought as I strolled the beach past dozens of children who were completely satisfied to construct castles, sand piles, and forts. To write their names, dig out trenches, and fill moats only to have them washed away in an instant. Yet, […]
Go Ahead, Try it On
Call me odd, my family does regularly. Except we do it politely and call each other outliers. When I pick up a book and start to read, I also pick up a pen – or maybe a highlighter. Even, and I know this is forbidden according to some, when I pick up my Bible. Because […]
Just One Big True/False Test
I read, “God has put both a “yes” and a “no” into our heads.” We call this free will. The option to choose him or not. A real risk on His part, if you ask me. But looking at the world I live in I need this option. To discern a yes to truth and […]
Takmina Kohistani, 100 meters of Courage
Raw courage full of hope.
Do I Have a Category for Enough?
“Today, there is no category for enough.” ~ Tom Albin, Dean of the Upper Room I have been thinking about that. Yes, in our culture, it seems that more is always better. There’s always room for one more, something more. Don’t settle for less. You can have it all. What, exactly, is “enough”? How do […]
Jogging the Curves
I hit the roads for a brief run yesterday. Well, run/walk, because that’s what I’m up to. Neither my endurance nor my physiology seems quite ready to take the full run plunge. So I head out, intending to alternate running and walking. But when will I switch? This was so easy when I tried it […]
