Another sun-day,
No, really, this is the last
Round in Lincoln-land

Three pars on front nine
Quit while the getting is good
Finish cold and sad

Thanks to Tim and Mark
And who can forget the Ran?
Last match play for now

removing the veil

I recently read this chapter from Tozer and had this thought: I’m privileged with the new convenant, but often find myself wandering around in the outer courts, satisfied with the postiional presence of God and my doctrinal devotion to Him…but famishing for want of the Shekinah.

Snowmen in summer
A sunny day for driving
Match play for a buck

blessedness of possessing nothing

I recently read this chapter from Tozer’s, The Pursuit of God, and then had his thought: Like the first man, I have traded the Creator for the created, running headlong after the sinful, the suffocating, the soon-to-be-stale, all the while convinced that my heart has not been captured by everything that is other to God.

Two for tee today
Both swimming in the fairways
Inconsistently

The sun warms warmly
And melts all snowmen away
Until next season

One last round with her
On a cold day in Boulder
Two dads trail behind

health care reform

Whether opponent or proponent, the worst of either kind is an uninformed agent. While I am not well-versed in the details of health-care reform, I do see reason for concern given the apparent path we’re on. The Atlantic Online recently published an article by David Goldhill that identifies three components in need of reform–health, health care, and health insurance–three different ideas that our government likes to talk about with little, if any, differentiation. (For those of you who are more left-leaning than myself, you may be interested to know that this author is a Democrat.)

Here’s a teaser…
After the needless death of his father, the author, a business executive, began a personal exploration of a health-care industry that for years has delivered poor service and irregular quality at astonishingly high cost. It is a system, he argues, that is not worth preserving in anything like its current form. And the health-care reform now being contemplated will not fix it. Here’s a radical solution to an agonizing problem.

You can read the article here, if you have time for a 10,000 word essay.

A quick nine with Dad
A week’s start but a day’s end
No matter the play

The last chance with Brad
Moved the weights to kill the slice
Twelve off the first tee

Gaining ground slowly
Until all eighteen were done
Two-putts saved the day
