Words Are Easy Things

Have you ever seen so much virtue signaling as we have today? You see it on social media. You see it on t-shirts. You see it on the bumpers of people's cars. People proudly announcing they are against hate. They are against racism. They are against oppression. They are against censorship. It gets a little silly sometimes, because I'm not always clear who they think are FOR any of these things they are so loudly and proudly against. But you can be sure that whenever a new social or political issue comes along, here come all the changed profile pictures and a wave of memes . . . that inevitable wave of public virtue signaling so that everyone knows what a great person we are. In the end, words don't matter very much--it's actions that matter. Words are easy things. How you live your life should reflect your values. It's how you treat other people that shows the kind of person you are. It's how you react and interact in the world that demonstrates what you&#

No Rocking Chair For Me

The idea of retirement, like for many people I suspect, has really kept me going through some of the more difficult periods of my professional career. The idea of staying home, and puttering around the house, and fishing when I want to. Wouldn't that be great! All those ideas are very appealing, and I know if I just keep going ,one day I'll get there and all that struggle will have been worth it. I thought that until I started getting closer to the date when I can retire. The closer I get, the less appealing the idea of retirement becomes.

I enjoy my job, but I want to do something more meaningful before I head out to pasture. I went to lunch a few years ago with a friend of mine that was coming to the same realization . . . he didn't want to retire, but he didn't want to do the same thing either. He asked me, "if you could d

Being Transformed

"May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance." ~2 Thessalonians 3:5 I had a conversation a few weeks ago with somebody about faith. He says he's an atheist, and questions anybody that would allow themselves to be "limited" by the "rules" of being a Christian. He wanted to have a conversation he said, but what he really wanted to do was give a lecture about how silly I was to spend so much time studying in seminary, and how dumb I was to waste my retirement years going into Christian ministry instead of kicking back and enjoying my well deserved reward. So I listened to him. I interjected where I could, but he didn't hear me. I left feeling sorry for him. He is bitterly unhappy. He is unfulfilled. He has a secular view of the world and is unwilling to even acknowledge there may be a spiritual side of our nature that if he were to open up mind and his heart could show him there is a deeper purpose to
