NOW! Reflection.
You made it. You survived the onslaught of 2008 AD. The things you held dearest at the onset of the year are likely nothing more than a faded memory today. I think you should stop and count yourself as blessed for making it this far in your life. Have you forgotten that God promises us [...]
NOW! Spoiled.
Each Christmas I come to a point where I’ve just had enough. I often get accused of being scrooge or grinch or something along those derogatory lines. I’m not one for embracing the glitz and glamor of the sparkling lights, the never ending Christmas songs that overtake the radio stations, or the insane cycle of [...]
A Can of Worms.
Vince Lombardi said, “The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price”. I think that is important for us as Christians to think about. Greg Arnold, NOW! Pass It On. [...]
Christmas Memories
Midnight mass, the nativity and Arlita Schneider singing “Oh Holy Night” from the church balcony.
These are among my most powerful memories of Christmases past. I can close my eyes and recall with vivid detail this trio of images experienced during my childhood.
I’ll bet you too have Christmas memories or moments that have helped shape your [...]
NOW! Immersion.
I was watching an amazing documentary the other night about world class surfers who have walked away from taming the normal wave, to challenging 70 foot waves off the north coast of Maui in a place called Pe’ahi Jaws. I’ve been to Maui and driven down to the area of Pe’ahi, but the big wave [...]
My Grown-Up Christmas Prayer
On the way to work today I was listening to some Christmas music. I know in the song Amy Grant was sending a Christmas list to Santa, but it sure did sound like a prayer to me. The lyrics say “My grown-up Christmas list. Not for myself, But for a world in need.” Don’t we [...]
NOW! Presence.
Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you doing it with? Do you go places? Do you hide at home? What does your day look like? All of these questions relate back to the idea of your presence. I’m convinced that the ailments we are seeing [...]

NOW! Pass It On.
Generally, I will try to write about observations, notions, debatable items, and just a general sense of “urging” as the Spirit so leads. There are times when I struggle to find the words, and there are times when the flood gates open up and I have to break up the writings into 4 or 5 [...]
Cut From the Budget
It’s a stiff punch to the gut that knocks you to your knees.
Have you ever had the experience of having your employer say: “I’m afraid we’re going to have to let you go”.
I’ve been there, done that.
Twice.
I was painfully reminded of those job losses this week. My company (a television station) made three “budget cuts”. [...]
