Good Morning, TSJ Peeps . . . Greetings from our new headquarters. There is great hope and promise here. I have an awareness of its rightness. Still “rightness” does not always mean easy! Teachers and parents know this truth everyday as they live the “rightness” of their dream and purpose while facing road blocks and challenges! So …
Happy New Year, TSJ Peeps! The holidays have come and gone. Former routines are being resumed as much as possible. The delights of family gatherings have mostly been cleaned up. And we face a new calendar year with all kinds of mixed emotions – from ho-hum it is just another year – to wondering what exciting things …
Hello Faithful TSJ Readers, Life is on the move! I imagine most of you are appreciating what is behind you (harried pace of holidays) and anticipating what is before you (a new year and its unknowns and potentials). There are many things I want to share with you who have faithfully journeyed with us here …

Happy Wednesday to all TSJ Friends! Today. . . or perhaps just for this moment . . . I am enough. I have enough. God is more than enough. And that is true for you too! These words have come to my mind dozens of times this week and brought a sense of peace and purpose …
Happy December to all TSJ Peeps! Today I am reflective. So beware! My heart is hanging exposed on the tree (symbolically of course!) as I remember Decembers past. This month marks the memory of Tom’s strong exclamation of “Oh!“ as he entered heavenly joy and peace. Gone was his pain and ended was his earthly suffering due to …
Dear TSJ Friends, Happy Thanksgiving! Solomon is thankful today! Grocery stores are bustling with people and overflowing with colorful produce. Holiday season is upon us! And it is one very busy time for most people. There is celebration in the air. Food, family, friends and frolic are on the agenda for a few days. Every year I …
Happy Wednesday to TSJ Peeps! What is the first thing that enters your mind when you read that question? In case you missed the question, it is: “Are you doing what I am doing?” Your response may be something like this, “I don’t know. What are you doing?” Or it may be, “Hmm, I wonder why she …
