As a writer it’s easy to be misunderstood because of the very thing we love: words. The lack of facial expression, voice inflection, and physical contact is lost when only words are on a page, yet sometimes a writer is able to convey a story, transporting a reader into the heart of it, something written […]
We need to start a “Loveolution.” Actually, we need to carry out what was already started years ago…like, thousands of years ago, where EL. OH. VEE. EE. was the headline news, not the other crap on TV, but news worthy in that it was spoken and acted out, person to person, in real life, God […]
God’s been having me write out some scriptures for myself to study and really chew on, if you will. For me, writing it down, or typing it, helps get it into my heart more and more. He’s really put it on my heart to be an intentional pupil of His Word, like basically […]
You know, I was never a fan of funerals and potato salad or dying people or dead ones or death or pretty much anything that had to do with end of life. As a kid, from grade 3 and then throughout junior high and high school, a friend, classmate, relative, or pet, died, each year. […]
Sorry I’ve been absent for quite some time. I’ve been working on this: And by, “I’ve been working on this”, I mean, I’m totally and completely technically and artistically challenged when it comes to graphic design, so I don’t mean that I designed the awesome circle of B’s representing Bevy above.

I was talking with a friend recently, the kind that, even though we don’t get to do daily life together as we had in the past, we just pick up where we left off. I hope you have those kinds of friendships, too, where the love runs deep and there isn’t performance pressure. Anyway, we […]
Just before the sun breaks the horizon in the east, the most breathtaking thing happens a few miles west of our house…the Rocky Mountains turn shades of pink. All shades, even ranging to salmon. It is amazing, to say the least. And then, as the sun rises, all the colors fade and what is left […]
For several years now I’ve not been able to put into words my feelings or thoughts on Christmas, and why, for a time, I’ve found myself even cranky about it. I think I’ve figured it out. There are certain dates that stand out in my calendar year. Dates to remember. Obviously we all have birthdays. […]
I wanted to share some scriptures that I’m going to be meditating on this week, or for however long. I could type a million words here, but there is nothing on this earth more refreshing to me, whether I want to hear it or not, than God’s Word. My sweet friend a few years back […]
