Flu and COVID vaxxed. I firmly believe that I would not be here today if not for the COVID vaccines. Grateful.

This does not happen often, but late night in the office, because Sundays seem to happen every week and I do not want to be the planning bottleneck.

Headed home after a few full days: attended the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) Kapit Bisig (Arm in Arm) Conference in Toronto, guest preached at First UMC, Ann Arbor, and delivered Henry Loud Lecture at the U of Michigan Wesley Foundation. Until next time MI!

I'm was only in Toronto for a few days, but, I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the people, and the vibes. Can't wait to come back again and explore a little more.

Someone recently asked me, "How do you get everything done?" and my response was, "I don't [and never will]." It's taken a while for me to believe my worth doesn't come from what I do, but from who I am. Result = My to-do list no longer stresses me out. #enneagram3/4

I've now been in Pasadena long enough that three coffee houses know my name and drink order. I have also run into people I know, or, after finding out that I am the Pastor of the Pasadena Presbyterian Church, can name a shared Presbyterian friend.

I've been preaching consistently for 30+ years, which means that I have had the audacity to step into the pulpit around 1,500 times to preach The Word of God. While I still have much to learn about the craft, what I do know is I trust Spirit more now than ever before.

While waiting to board a Southwest flight, a customer in line was complaining loudly to herself that this "assigned seating is ridiculous" and she's "never flying with them again." To chose airlines based on routes and prices is one things, but if it's assigned seating . . . 😬
