361 – I resolve to…finish #faithbites #faithjourney finish Yesterday, we started the resolve series here at #faithbites with a resolution to work on anger. Today, we continue with looking at finishing what you start. For you Disney fans, you may remember the dog in Up. He was easily distracted by SQUIRREL. I am that dog. I find things that are […]
345 – Making the Most of What We Have #faithbites #faithjourney making Today was prep day for the colonoscopy. No solid foods, nothing red/purple/orange, nothing good to eat or drink at all.

As the only male leader in our group, I had the ‘fun’ of constantly taking the little boys to the bathroom. Let me tell you, they have […]
#162of365 #FaithBites #FaithJourney Do you hear the words coming out of my mouth? Language is a powerful thing. It lets us convey our thoughts, feelings, dreams, desires, believes, wishes, and more. It helps connect us to the past and to the future. It is immensely powerful when used well and when not understood, it can lead to miscommunications that can […]
#157of365 #FaithBites #FaithJourney The Audience On Friday I was at a medical education conference. The theme of the conference was preparing clinicians, residents, and faculty to be better teachers. This is right up my alley. During the keynote presentation, a Physician talked about systems care. During the talk, he used terminology that was way over my head. Many acronyms, compounds […]
#155of 365 #FaithBites #FaithJourney What did you learn? From point A to point B. That seems to be what life is like most days. We go from home to work or home to school and vice versa. We go on a vacation then back home. We travel for work then back home. We go to church then back home. You […]
