For several reasons, I’ve move to a new office space. After two years of occupying a small office in downtown Excelsior, I moved to a home office this past summer. Since a photo will spare you from reading a thousand of my words, here’s a shot of the new digs. Clearly I’ve settled in! There is [...] The mission of Public Safety Ministries Inc. is “Promoting Spiritual Fitness in the Public Safety Professions”. The fundamental tactic used, simply stated is “Just Showin Up”. It is becoming more and more frequent for me to get a call from someone and the message contains the comment “No need to call right back, I was [...] I always get excited with the first snow of the year. I love winter, I love the Christmas holiday season, dog-sledding and everything that comes with it. Today was our first snow of the year, and unlike the previous post from Fairbanks, this snow will probably be gone by tomorrow. Which is OK with me [...] As I write this morning, the time and place that I am in is “A CBS Sunday AM”. For many years now, I’m not quite sure when it started, my favorite TV ritual has been watching the CBS news show “Sunday Morning”. I like to write and keep journals, logs, notebooks or whatever you want to call [...] We had a lot of rain around here yesterday, but today was beautiful. My drive to Camp Ripley started with clouds, but as I headed north it was blue sky, colorful trees and bright sunshine. When I got home I was greeted with an e-mail from my son Pete. A nice surprise from my oldest kid [...] I’m up early this morning getting ready to drive to Camp Ripley. I’m scheduled to give a short lunch presentation to the annual Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association Leadership Academy. I’ll be talking about the continuing efforts of the Governor’s “Beyond the Yellow Ribbon” military reintegration project that I’ve been a part of for almost [...] Well, it’s almost 6:30 AM and Pastor Dave should be here in a few minutes to give me a lift to the airport. This morning I fly out to Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary for my twice a year visit for my participation in the TEEM (Theological Education for Emerging Ministries) program. I took my summer courses [...] NOTE!! This is a follow-up post to the previous post below. No sooner did I publish my last post, when I got a call from Griff, my blogging techie coach. Just Like Duane, he new where to look for the problem, discovered it wasn’t me but another tech issue and came up with the solution. [...] Yes, summer is over and it’s time to get back to the world of the internet and technology and everything else that goes with keeping this website active. As summer started to approach the maintenance of the website had become more of a burden than the blessing that it had been. I was [...] My son Pete is home from Alaska (Actually, his home is Alaska, he is visiting his old home, our home) for a long weekend and he mentioned it has been awhile since I’ve written a post. I knew it had been awhile, and I’d been meaning to write something but hadn’t got around to [...] This morning I was up before dawn (which isn’t so early these days) driving up to Big Lake to make a dog food pick up. People always ask about feeding the dogs, how much you buy, how much does it cost…… I quit keeping track of how much my sled dog activities cost [...] |
