Here comes the dreamer.

In early years, I dreamed of high school graduation, college graduation, living in South America, having a family, developing a school, a Christian camp, and planting a church. At a later stage of life, I dreamed of creating an entity to recruit missionary teams for great cities in the Latin world while building an outstanding group of trustees. I can only thank God for the way he honored and supported these God dreams.

Other dreams failed. In some cases, I failed to carry my end of the load. Perhaps at times others failed to do their share of the lifting. It remains beyond my limited understanding why some dreams died.

God knows our dreams. He sees their benefit and their weakness. He knows when the timing is right and when it is not. I must trust him.

I am in the process of signing onto Social Security and Medicare. My energy is not at the level of my youth. My body shows deterioration from age and my million-mile airline status.

Are there yet God dreams to chase while looking toward the Sunset?

My affirmation is a loud yes.

From birth to death, I am God-wired. God dreams are in my DNA. With each passing decade, dreams adjust to a new phase of life and to a changing world. People always need to know God. As the future unfolds, it presents fresh avenues to communicate the story.

My body is not as energized as in earlier times, yet as my soul runs toward the finish line it carries a dream.

I want to give glory to God by writing. It is not a new gift. I became aware of this God-gift at an early age. I used it throughout life. However, it is only now that the timing is right to lean hard into this gift from God. It is as if all of the trails of life are crossing at this point.

For the first time the totality of my God walk with family, the church, academic training, work experience, life scars, and accrued wisdom, provides value to share through the written word.

I invite you to continue to read and think with me as I post new articles and new books on this site. To reflect on God, his love and expectations for us, and our desire to love him back, is worthy of our time together. It is a quest worthy of our lives.

To reflect on the eternal God is to mine precious gold and an endless source of diamonds. His treasure is without limit.

Share with me your God dreams. I would love to hear from you. Stay tuned.
