My daily devotional message appears on the first screen, thanks to my smartphone. By now, I shouldn’t be surprised when the passage touches on something I was thinking about.
This morning, I was thinking about the terminal illness and the ultimate death of my friend’s wife, and my dear friend who committed suicide. It’s something that pops into my thoughts most of every day.
Today the verse was Ecclesiastes 3:1,7: “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die. A time to tear and a time to mend.” The passages cause me to pause; while so many Bible passages are difficult to understand, this is clear and helpful.
My friends and their families live every moment with the power of these passages in mind.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
