I came across this Facebook Memory that I had shared from my friend, Adam Politsch, back in January of 2015. Eight years later, it still resonates with me and is worth sharing with you. Read & reflect… At my work each meeting begins with a reflection. A short little inspiration/thoughtful story and one from a…

Thursday, December 9, 2021 found us at Plymouth United Church in Spring, Texas (just outside Houston) after a leisurely drive from the Dallas area that morning. We arrived in the late afternoon/early evening, sometime around 4:30 p.m., and it was our only labyrinth walk of the day. I was pleased to find that they had…

The road trip with Mikayla and Andrew from December 2021 was one of few ‘up’ moments of that year, and all the labyrinth walks (and them, of course), were a big part of why. To recap: In the previous labyrinth lesson, I shared that the labyrinth at Whites Chapel UMC in Southlake, Texas became one of…
January 1-7, 2023 The S/V Kya Anne will double her population when we welcome Scott & Teri Hansen aboard at the end of this week. With 2022 in the rearview mirror and the Bahamas in our immediate future, we fully expect exponential fun and shenanigans ahead! Sunday, January 1st (New Year’s Day) I believe God will do some…
You may remember from prior labyrinth lesson posts that the Whites Chapel UMC in Texas was one of my favorites labyrinths from the December 2021 road trip I took with Andrew & Mikayla. As with my previous labyrinth walk (Double Play), there were two sets of lessons on this labyrinth walk. Today’s labyrinth lesson came…
December 18-24, 2022 Ahhh, the week before Christmas. The holidays are so often fraught with the additional stress of holiday obligations, social gatherings and mandatory good cheer. I went into this week with a bit of trepidation. In the midst of so many changes in my life, what would THIS holiday look like for me? Sunday, December…
December 11-16, 2022 As we entered my seventh week in Fort Pierce, I was as anxious as Paul to cut loose from the dock and get moving. So I can joyfully share that this week was the week we were able to get back on the open water! ⛵️ 🎉 Sunday, December 11th: I woke extra early, and quietly…
We visited Kessler Park UMC (United Methodist Church) located 1215 Turner Avenue, Dallas, TX on Wednesday, December 8, 2021 at approximately 9:10 a.m. It was the first of two labyrinth walks that day, and both were equally beautiful (but different) and peaceful Chartres replicas. Kessler Park UMC has the most detailed labyrinth brickwork I have ever…
December 4-10, 2022 This is week six in Fort Pierce. We thought we would be gone from here by now, but we’re still waiting on a parts order to arrive. However, if there is anything I have heard repeatedly from the boaters and cruisers I’ve met, it’s to ‘throw your calendar out the window’ and…
