One of my life scriptures is Psalm 73. The last verse is a favorite.

We have lovely conversations around our dining room table. And not a small handful of odd ones. This Monday’s breakfast was no exception.

I was talking with coach Walter K, and he was reveling in a simple idea that has made a significant difference in congregational engagement.

I read a job description for a Director of Music and was struck by the first “Core Competency” required.

My wife has taught me many things.
