Welcome to the Life Has Meaning home page.

In the About section you will learn a little about me, my career paths, my 57 year (and counting) marriage, and my belief in how our Lord can guide our lives for His good will. From this in the section  Observing Our World you can read observations of an elder Christian looking at directions modern life has taken and about our Lord’s redeeming love in Jesus Christ.  My thoughts are expanded a bit in the couple of Books I’ve written. It is not easy trying to navigate through this broken and confused world but despair is never the final word. The Lord God who created us loves each one of us more than we can understand. That Redeeming Love wants to give us  life that has meaning both now and eternally.  The Links tab provides ongoing resources to strengthen and guide our relationships in daily life walking with our Living Lord.  May God bless you richly in your continuing journey.
