Hello TSJ Peeps! Happy Wednesday wherever you are. My somewhat new team of symbolic characters are hoping you are playing in the pastures of life today. But they are earthy characters and understand that life in the pastures can be tough as well as in the jungles. And sometimes it is a “jungle out there.” Life …
Dear TSJ Friends, Before the boys and their new best friend (Sigmund) tell on me, I have a confession. We had an experience this morning they think is worth sharing. I burnt the toast. I mean, really burnt the toast. Solomon sees Great Wisdom in most experiences. Solomon Junior (SJ) sees excitement and Sigmund (of …
Good Morning TSJ Friends! Have you ever noticed how we like to blame someone when something is “wrong” or not going the way we like? I am sure you have heard, “It’s all his (her) fault” more than once amongst children. Sometimes adults essentially say the same when we point our finger at the boss, our …
Dear Peeps, It is hard to believe summer has arrived. And with it comes new life and some excitement of things to come, such as dreams of relaxation or at least a change of scenery. It is generally a good time to remember the beauty of nature and soak up some sun or splash in some water. …
Good Morning, TSJ “Peeps,” Since Father’s Day is Sunday, our TSJ wise old Solomon has been brought to a chair right next to me to inspire us to think straight about important things.

Greetings TSJ Friends, What two things do we humans desire a whole lot? I think it may be safety and freedom. This is true both on the physical plane and the emotional and spiritual plane! And both safety and freedom are generated by love. This is the essence of today’s Wednesday Wisdom…the kind of “wisdom” that …
Dear TSJ Peeps… What a week! Do you ever have those weeks when so many things happen that you are sure it was two weeks ago that such and such happened and it was just two days ago? Some weeks get that full, don’t they? And sometimes they seem packed because of so many passing …
Good Morning TSJ Encouragers and Sojourners, Today I feel like I have more wonder than wisdom. Yes, it is Wednesday….another week in which we have all experienced a lot of life . For me, I am left wondering what it would be like to truly be wise in such a complex world of choice and brokenness. At the …
Dear TSJ Peeps . . . Have you ever said out loud with full force (even if no one is around to hear you), “I quit. I cannot do this anymore!” I am sure most of you have. Perhaps many times under different circumstances. It usually is a sign of utter fatigue and exasperation. On …
