Did you know that God Winks? He really does, I promise! He may not wink at you in the exact same manner that He winks at me, but God Winks. It happened recently at an athletic meeting when Dr. Dub shared that one of the four themes of the university strategic plan uses the word …
Winterize Me
Winterize…what an interesting term and one that may be unknown to you (kind of like Forest Bathing or protinus—I’ll explain that one at later time!); especially if you live in a location without freezing temperatures. However, if you invest even a trivial amount of time sitting around a dining table or a campfire with Campers …
Unclaimed Baggage
Has an airline ever “lost” your luggage? As many miles as I have traversed over the years, I’m truly astonished that although my luggage has chosen to arrive on different flights, ergo, with different arrival times, the airlines eventually reconnected me with my precious possessions. A few of these disconnections between passenger and luggage are …
Self-Forgetfulness
At some point in my educational journey, I was instructed that it was inappropriate to use the word when attempting to offer a definition of that word; however, that rule doesn’t seem to apply today. When investigating a definition of what it means to engage in Self-Forgetfulness, the online dictionary offers “having or showing no …

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of stepping into a large wad of gum on the sidewalk that has been sufficiently warmed by the sun, you have a wealth of experience with today’s topic: Stickiness. Or perhaps, your sticky situations have come as a result of a dining experience including pancakes (even being conservative, the …
Take Out the Trash
How often are you required to Take Out the Trash in your household? Living in a household of one, I’ve often wondered if it is truly necessary for our city to run pick up twice in one week, especially with these new giant green cans large enough to hide a body! However, upon spending a …
Once and For All
How many times have you used the word consecration in a sentence? Truly doubtful that I ever have, but it is a word that grabbed my attention this week as I read through Mark Batterson’s Not Safe. So, I responded in a typical fashion and searched my files to uncover whether or not it has …
Watch Me!
Spend a few minutes soaking up the sun beside a pool of children and I guarantee you will hear frequently the phrase Watch Me! I’m sure there is an existing study that can precisely predict how many times it will be said during a swimming adventure; but my guesstimate is that it is a fairly …
Return Policy
What’s the Return Policy? Believe me, with today’s access to purchasing online, I’m scrolling down to the bottom of the page and locating the fine print that explains what happens if I am unsatisfied with my purchase. Because without having the ability to try on those cloudswift running shoes to see if they are true …
