I Can Do No Wrong Seeing the world through our own rose-colored (mirrored) glasses.

Posted on November 29th, 2023 :: 8:47 am by Greg

Recently my wife said to me that when I relay a story in which I play a part, I always paint myself in the best light. That comment surprised me. It was not the whole of her response to me—nor was it said in a time of conflict—but it revealed a way that I am…

Fragile How would it be if we were gentle with one another?

Posted on October 3rd, 2023 :: 9:34 am by Greg

If you think about it, we’re all quite fragile. Some of us mask the fragility with bravado. We even put on a brave face for ourselves, attempting to convince not only the world but our own hearts that we are strong, capable, able, and unafraid. But the truth is that pseudo-confidence could be shattered by…

No Offense How we so easily offend and are offended

Posted on September 13th, 2023 :: 5:15 pm by Greg

I need to start by saying I am sorry. I am sorry that I have hurt you. I am sorry for careless words or actions which left you feeling hurt, overlooked, demeaned, ridiculed, devalued, disregarded, or even just misunderstood. Yes, you. I’ve noticed in a few recent interactions—first and third person—how easily we offend and…

Indentifying With Mary Rather than Martha, whom we all know got it wrong.

Posted on August 4th, 2019 :: 3:06 pm by Greg

I identify with Martha. That might seem odd, in that I am a man, but I think I do. I’m not talking about any sort of gender identity crisis, mind you. Rather, as I was taking care of many details around my home today (which I find myself doing quite often) I was reminded of…

Volatile, Historic Times and the Spider Who Doesn’t Care

Posted on June 29th, 2015 :: 3:52 pmSeptember 8th, 2017 :: 7:54 am by Greg

Righteous indignation on each side; blustery public diatribes backed by legal or biblical authority; verbal wars among foes and friends and family which take no idealogical prisoners—this seems to be the state of current events. But this tiny spider doesn’t seem to know, or care. She’s not angry, or justified, or changing the color of…

Underneath The inside is what matters

Posted on June 24th, 2015 :: 12:01 pmSeptember 8th, 2017 :: 10:06 am by Greg

Beyond our bodies, we’re all the same. Lately I have had an interesting experience when seeing photos of people, current or historical. Somehow in my mind, I am seeing (thinking of?) the person beneath the exterior. Wondering at what unknown depths there are to that particular individual; wondering how we might be similar. Not that…

New Beginnings

Posted on January 8th, 2015 :: 3:08 pm by Greg

Do you notice that sometimes there are themes around you? I do. Every once in a while, many things around me (or even in me) will work in apparent concert toward some consistent message, idea, or theme. Lately, I am being pretty often reminded that life is full of new beginnings. And also that it…

Untended Strawberries

Posted on June 10th, 2014 :: 3:15 pm by Greg

It turns out, nearly every year we plan, work, plant, tend, and harvest a garden of edible treasures, there is inevitably some deeper truth mined from the soil and its produce. We’ve just begun this summer’s work, and already our strawberries have reminded me of a truth I often forget. See, we didn’t actually do…

[RePost] D-Day: When Things Mattered

Posted on June 6th, 2014 :: 12:36 pm by Greg

Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day. June 6th, 1944. The Allied invasion at Normandy, France, was a key point in World War II, and certainly worth commemorating. Below is an article I wrote a couple years ago, following our family’s own commemorating of the events of that day. It seemed a good way to…

A Crowd of Someones

Special

Posted on May 27th, 2014 :: 4:14 pmAugust 14th, 2024 :: 8:04 am by Greg

This morning, as I passed a line of cars heading the other direction, waiting for their light to turn green, I began to notice the faces of their drivers. Most were nearly expressionless. Some seemed to have more than driving on their minds, faces betraying the distraction. Other faces were relaxed, even smiling. As the…
