It’s been over ten years since I started writing daily reflections and emailing those . What started out as a short list of personal contacts grew over the years. What hasn’t changed is a commitment to learn from life, from nature, from friends and strangers. Quite a few people have expressed appreciation for the sharing of these reflections. I hope you will be one of those who finds something worth reading in the things I write. Writing was an early interest that grew out of the love for reading that I inherited from my parents.
I grew up as the fifth of six kids on a dairy/row crop farm in southern Kentucky. Now living in St. Joseph, Missouri, with my wife of twenty years, Randa, I have six children, three step-children (one deceased) and seventeen grandkids. Randa and I enjoy singing, worship, traveling and remodeling. We both work for Highland Community College, the oldest college in Kansas: Randa teaches Spanish and I take care of institutional research duties. I try to share from all of those interests.
