Last month, Dan Lewis, anchor at KOMO TV in Seattle, announced that he would be retiring from the anchor desk in about a month’s time. Unfortunately, that day has come today. Dan Lewis KOMO has literally been the anchor at KOMO in Seattle my entire life. I grew up watching the news, learning and listening to him and Kathi Goertzen KOMO, as well as Steve Pool and Eric … Continue reading Thank You to Dan Lewis

I will allow her to introduce herself more below, but would like to add that I thought it would be a great post on this blog if she shared thoughts about her … Continue reading LVC and Love- A guest post by Tamara Siburg
To all mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day! Today, I give thanks especially for my mom, my mother-in-law, and my grandmothers. I have been blessed especially because of my mom, but because of all of these wonderful women. They continue to be my cheerleaders- loving and supporting me, and when needed, challenging me. They always know though (and most importantly I believe) how to love … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
A couple days ago I wrote some more about transitions. Out of that conversation and a request for input on what to write my next post about, my friend and soon to be pastor, Rebecca Sullivan asked me to “continue thinking about transitions and finding community.” So out of that request comes what follows. I think it also hearkens back to other community pondering posts … Continue reading Transitions and Community
My friend Carrie Gubsch asked me to write a post about transitions today because her husband Tyler and her are about to embark on a number of them. I decided to oblige, so in thinking about the last few transitions I have gone through, I have come up with a few points which have either helped me or would have been helpful to know in … Continue reading Transitions, Transitions, Transitions
I love a good conversation, don’t you? By this I mean a conversation which doesn’t have only one objective, and rather one in which you have freed yourself up to share what’s going on and to ask questions of another(s) in the conversation and see where those questions lead. Time really isn’t an issue, in fact in a good conversation you might even lose track … Continue reading The Beauty of Conversation
As the rain falls and pours outside, it’s hard not to be a little nostalgic for the Pacific Northwest. Even as it rains, and its unseasonably cold here, its hard not to be grateful for today and the opportunities it brings. Last week I was reminded what gratitude can look like in different ways. First, as I mentioned previously, it was my wife Allison’s birthday. … Continue reading Gratitude and Gifts
I don’t usually write family related posts on my blog, so it is very rare that they come two posts, right after one another. But I think you will enjoy or at least appreciate today’s post. Today, it is my amazing and wonderful wife Allison‘s birthday. In the spirit and theme of this blog, here is a quick look at how I see Allison as … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Allison- A leader, neighbor lover, and church and ministry doer
If you read my blog often, then you probably are aware that this past week was Holy Week. On the blog I shared some thoughts as we journeyed from Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday, to Good Friday, Holy Saturday and then Easter Sunday.
