Praying for Earth, home

In the name of love, i think the way i do. Photo: Glacier National Park on a trail or shoreline (can’t remember which).

Artemis II is returning to Earth after sending humans farther from Earth than ever before in history.

Artemis II traveled around the Moon and lost contact (it was planned for) with NASA for a brief period.

Extraordinary accomplishment in human history.

And as i type this (4:30pm April 7, 2026) we are three hours and 30 minutes from our President’s Iranian-peace-deal deadline.

May God (and the cosmos, like it even cares) have Mercy on humanity.

Still cleaning up and hoping, home

Still cleaning up and hoping.

Work falls to the fifth of five priorities.

Why?

Because we work for two reasons:

  1. Sustenance
  2. Contribution (if we’re lucky, and present)

So…

Sustenance has been baked in, by design, for the past four decades.

Contribution, never ends.

Adventure awaits.

Teach hope, home

mountains and lake
Same place, slightly different look. This look is always on a spectrum: from modestly-dramatic to super-dramatic.

Teach hope at home…

Help others hope that they can discern their priorities.

Note: Priorities are a nebulous, under-rated, under-focused on, and remarkably neglected concept.

Show with your life’s example that getting this right leads to personal vibrancy.

Help others take one more defining step…

Prioritize the priorities.

Harvest hope, home

old motel room
Spent 50 days and nights here in 2020. Now it’s Pursuit employee housing. Formerly known as West Glacier Motel. During Covid-19 (2020), Glacier’s entire 500,000-acre East side was closed to visitors.

Hope spawned from the goal (hope) of taking our son, 12, to Glacier for the first time in 2012.

Why?

Imprint something opposite from ‘all he knows…’.

He grew up every summer spending a week on Sanibel Island. Even before he turned one year old.

Palm trees and sunshine.

Flat.

Hot.

Sea-level.

The first year carried the hope he’d want to return a second time.

Why?

Simply to experience the paradox of Florida beaches…

Mountains.

Compounded hope, home

Dawn. Driving (West) up to Logan Pass to summit Mt Oberlin.

The more i hope, the more i want to hope.

Simultaneously, the more i want to harvest hope’s lifetime compounded results.
