Daily reflections, pairing one of my poems with a photo.
Reflections are where these moments are gathered — words shaped into poems, meditations, and stories that trace the ongoing path of My Reunion Tour.
These writings are not essays or articles. They are invitations. They are windows into my own journey of noticing God’s presence in the midst of daily life. Some came as poems scribbled on “Tour Days,” others as prose prayers or honest confessions. All are meant to point beyond me, toward the One who walks with us.
Reflections are not polished speeches. They are living testimony. They remind us that God meets us not just on mountaintops, but in valleys, in detours, even in the quiet of an ordinary day. As the psalmist sang: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).
You are invited to linger here, to read slowly, to listen for echoes of your own story in these words. And perhaps, to be stirred to write your own reflections with God.
Happy birthday, Daddy
Up in Heaven high above
This year, we feel far apart
Yet surrounded by your...
So many options,
Opportunities we have to serve,
Often unnoticed until
We are well past our curve.
Before we are great again
We have much more work to do
A deep look in the mirror
Hard truths faced...
Along the path of life
There are many questions.
Often fewer answers apparent
Too open to many...
Some things never change.
An insatiable desire for more
Never enough, now we await
Items delivered...
Wave after wave
Pounds upon the tender heart
Relentless, unceasing
As we grow further apart.

Most folks are dying to know.
How will we be remembered?
When our...
So much of human suffering
Stems from what we believe
We begin life lightly
Without ideas...
Friends bring us perspective
Blind spots we cannot see alone.
Helping us understand afresh

We have images of retirement
Where leisure is endless
Every day is Saturday
Alarms are non-existent.
When forces of darkness
Tries to encircle our hearts
With stunning brutality
There is another Way.

They speak into our lives with
Words we trust concretely.
They lead us back to ourselves
Because...
