Welcome to Struck!

Here you will find lots of stuff that strikes me -- from the silly to the sublime.

Some of it comes from the cloth-bound journals full of quotes I've been keeping for 20+ years. Some comes from my travels on the internet. And some from the cool people I have in my life. Here you'll find quotes on friendship and silly jokes as well as deep insights gathered from sermons and books.

Hope you will be struck by some of it, too. I'm adding new stuff all the time so be sure to subscribe to updates for a chance to be stuck every day.

Oh, and please leave comments! I thrive on feedback.

Watch your step

In June of 1995, I was halfway through a six-month cultural exchange trip to Japan and I certainly felt like an intrepid adventurer. Perhaps that is why this quote from Elizabeth Peters from her novel, "The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog" struck me:

"When one is striding bravely into the future, one cannot watch one's footing."

And, I might add, it would be ridiculous to try. . .
