Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
I've noticed that I tend to do linked posts from week to week. That's because so many of the things in my life are linked. Last week it was Youth Ministry. This week it's Youth. I wonder if these young people know how much they've come to mean to me over the years. How hard... Continue Reading →
(I noticed late last week that I had forgotten to do my weekly post on things for which I am truly thankful. I thought about rushing to get "caught up" and then decided that I'd just resume today. This is about being thankful not stressful and schedule bound) Thirty years ago I would have laughed... Continue Reading →
I need a little more time to process my thoughts on General Convention #77 but I thought I'd give a quick look at the City of Indianapolis. I should admit that I have a bias against many midwest cities right off the bat. As a child of the hill country of western Pennsylvania my image... Continue Reading →
I am truly thankful. For wonderful parents. Jack and Debby. The Captain and the Nurse. How do I even begin to describe these two people? The most common description of my father I use is that he was a mechanical engineer by training and a Navy officer by choice. His world was precise and logical... Continue Reading →
I am truly thankful. My relationship with church during my lifetime has been uneven let's say. Starting in first grade or so we went to church on a regular basis.

I am truly thankful. This is going to sound silly to a lot of people. And for a certain category of folks they will understand completely. I am thankful for hair. 54 years old and I have a God given gift of a full head of hair with no more than a light dusting of... Continue Reading →
I am truly grateful. Well I need to complete the set here. Last week was the Lady in My Life. This week it is the Little Lady in My Life. It has been an adventure since the beginning. Born 2 1/2 months premature on a cold December morning (early in the freaking A.M. Even then... Continue Reading →
I am truly thankful. For some 35 years I have had a constant companion, friend, comforter, cheerleader and partner. For many years she has been known as the Lady in My Life or my Lady Wife. I met Donna at the Olde Union Theater at Edinboro State College. Through good times and bad I have... Continue Reading →
I am truly thankful. For being 54 years old. Not that there's anything special about 54. It's just that some people don't make it this far. Folks in my high school and college graduating classes have died already. And let's be honest, I came awfully damn close myself to not getting... Continue Reading →
I'm making an adjustment to my blogging. The View From the Phlipside is going to be dedicated entirely to my radio program and other media writing (movies, books etc). I'm pulling this blog back to life for other kinds of writing. Facebook has taken over most of the day to day kinds of writing that... Continue Reading →
