Wow!  It has been a long time since I’ve written — not because there have been no salvation stories, but perhaps because there have been so many of them.  Salvation Stories beginning, unfolding, confusing, challenging, terrifying, encouraging, emerging, disentangling, releasing, unravelling, confounding, baffling, arousing, exacting, imposing, heartbreaking, and continuing  . . . . If I used [...]

OCTOBER 1, 2012 begins the testing period for the Mobile Phone Apps I’ve been working on to bring Therapy to the IPhone; to bring what is not seen (true reality – that require faith to see there’s more than meets the eye; an opportunity to look at incredibly private and personal issues like body image [...]

I haven’t written for several weeks, because I have been involved in a new project — creating phone apps!  As my son said, “Who would have thought you would be working in technology?!”  The truth is, it has been a lot of fun and a great outlet for renewed creative juices.  The mobile phone/tablet apps are [...]

I went to a movie with my parents tonight — that seems to be a new American Christmas tradition, doesn’t it?  My dad picked it out — War Horse.  All of the Internet posts used words like “beloved”, “hopeful” and “inspirational that are translatable to our own lives as well when times are tough.”  Who could [...]

There’s a right time for birth and another for death, A right time to kill and another to heal, A right time to rip out and another mend, A right time to hold on and another to let go, A right time to make love and another to abstain, A right time to shut up [...]

This is a Salvation Story by my good friend, Al Andrews.  Al is husband, father, counselor, and writer.  These days he is most busy being an entrepreneur of generosity.  He wrote an amazing book entitled, The Boy, The Kite, and The Wind.  The story itself is profound and a good, good read.  The story behind [...]
