Dreams Die, Christ Lives

Dreams of Lost Friends

Last night I dreamt (dreamed sp?)  about a person from my past. It was strange for me for many reasons. One is that this person had a large hand in shaping who I am today, as a follower of Christ. The other is that, all though I don’t know the state of her relationship with our Savior since we haven’t spoken in almost 15 years. Back then I was regularly let down and disappointed by this person. In this dream we were just talking with other friends, friends who I haven’t seen or heard from in a long time, about their walk with our Lord. This dream was prompted by a loss.

New Life in Minneapolis

Starting a New Life in Minneapolis

As some of you know, I have accepted a position for a company in Minneapolis MN. Aside from the normal challenges of work, I also have committed to being on site for two years starting in August. This puts a lot of things into perspective as we start he process of moving a family across the country. There are things we really don’t need, or want to carry into this new part of our lives. Expenses for things that we don’t use. Bad habits in our financial, social, or home lives, that we continued to carry with us from young adult-hood and even adolescence. We have an opportunity to change the roles that we … Click to Continue
