Developing Healthy Rhythms
Living in the Tension of the Middle: Part III
I am nearing the completion of re-reading the North and South Trilogy by Author John Jakes. It is historical fiction based in the United States just before, during, and just after the Civil War. This was a time – like most times, unfortunately – when the radicals had the loudest voices and ruled the day.…
Living in the Tension of the Middle: Part II
In this series I am addressing the tension that most of us feel in a world that seems to be as divided as ever. I contend that the world has always had these divisions but that the reach and speed of media today makes extreme views more prevalent and certainly LOUDER. Today, I would like…
Living in the Tension of the Middle: Part I
I do not yet know everything that I will know in my lifetime. As I continue this lifelong journey of learning, new knowledge will have the following effects on me: This is the intersection of knowledge and wisdom. And though I endeavor to exercise wisdom, I do not perfectly live out my intention stated above.…
Just Another Burnout Story? Part Two
In Part One of this story, I talked about a time when I had to make a difficult career decision. The position I had been in for several years, which I loved by the way, was taking so much of my time, energy, and mindshare that I was unable to give proper attention to the…
Just Another Burnout Story? Part One
Story telling is an important contributor to our intellectual health. Without stories, facts & truth often do not adhere to our long-term memory and are therefore useless when needed in the future. Stories, even fictional accounts, can serve to stimulate our minds and allow us to retain facts and ideas that will serve us down…
In Search of Revival

I am not skeptical, I am not cynical, what I am…
As Difficult as ABC
Too often, to our detriment, we attempt to soft sell difficult news. Organizational leaders will often espouse a policy of “honest feedback” and yet the individual leader tasked with sitting down with an associate will gloss over the hardest truths in order to make getting to the end of the meeting an easier path. When…
Humble Leadership
Last summer, I wrote a 10-part series on Success Attributes. The series concentrated on what I believe are the Top Ten attributes that will lead to your healthy success, and it is not the typical list. Nowhere to be found was ambition, strength, and determination. Feel free to go back, beginning June 8, 2022, and…
Do the Work: Part V
For several years, I participated in and led mission trips to Honduras. Our primary purpose during these week-long trips was to be present & active in three specific communities: Knowing that I was going to embark on a blog series called Do the Work, I purposely wrote a single blog post titled Rest at Work…
Simply a New Year – Do the Work: Part IV
Beware New Year’s resolutions. They will complicate your life, wear you down, and ultimately lead to a decline in your overall health when you find yourself having to cry “Uncle” and admit – yet again – your failure to meet them. And all of this by January 15th, if you are anything like me! You…
