I still say be radical in love. Love beyond reason. If you have reason to doubt this, then read I John. Let me quote the last two verses—this is from the New King James Version…
I John 4:20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does [...]

…I know that this was a common phrase used when I was a teen to inspire us to do more for Jesus. I generally interpreted it as being more radical about proclaiming Jesus at school. Going to the mall and witnessing. Standing up for Jesus…
If you get still and truly consider what Jesus did before the crucifixion: [...]

Spring is here finally after a long winter of mending a broken leg and various flu-like ailments associated with sick children in school. I am looking forward to the warmer days. Thanks for reading the blog. Feel free to [...]

I just read that a certain actress-singer said that she was “not a woman, but a force”. It made me laugh because I don’t connect to her “force” through intellect, culture or significant traditions in my life.
There are all kinds of forces: global and local. Most of us understand the force of the bully—the people who [...]

One of my favorite plays is Thornton Wilder’s Our Town. What I love about it is that I’m reminded of how significant the small things are in life.
If any of us were to look at our life from God’s perspective we’d probably see that we’ve veered off the course that he set for us as we pursued the big [...]

(Dad in Japan around 1947)
In our part of the world it seems that people are worried about the neighbor’s opinion. I’ve mentioned my next door neighbor who didn’t take care of his dog. Well, he moved and abandoned the dog on the deck of his house. Therefore, it never mattered to this neighbor what I thought [...]
