Seeing Through a Glass Darkly
I shared some thoughts with you last week on the Obama farewell and next week I’ll discuss the Trump phenomenon which begins on Friday, January 20.
But today, I’d like to leave the larger world for a moment to share some personal thoughts. Two weeks ago, I made a change in life that many of you can relate to, but I’d never before experienced. I would describe that life alteration as “seeing through a glass darkly.”

The Obama Farewell–My Thoughts and Prayers
I wrote my very first blog eight years ago when Barack Obama was seeking the office of the presidency. Since then, some four hundred subsequent articles have come and gone with 23 of them devoted to our 44th president.

So what is my view of the world in 2017?

I usually spend significant time in December praying over the coming year. Long ago I noticed a pattern of “seven years” in my work and ministry. I view those periods as chapters in God’s plan for my life.
Last year I turned sixty-three, so nine chapters are finished and a new one begins. If God allows me seven more years, how does He want me to use it? What are my heavenly assignments? How can I be a part of what God is doing on earth?
Let’s take a 30,000 mile view on a number of topics. What’s your perspective?
Here’s mine. Read More
