“Even Traffic Jams Work To The Good”
Originally Posted Oct. 5, 2021 No one likes to waste time…. or to waste pain and suffering… or to waste any kind of investment. I guess that’s why it’s frustrating to wait in line, whether in a traffic jam or on line at the movies or being put on HOLD waiting for the service rep to … Continue reading “Even Traffic Jams Work To The Good”
“Virtue Rather Than Wealth”
The passage about Lazarus and the rich man is very familiar to us. (Luke 16:19-31) Over the years this parable has been “mined” by countless theologians; artists have produced literature and poetry and music referencing Lazarus and the rich man Dives. Some say it’s not a parable, but that Lazarus was an actual person. I … Continue reading “Virtue Rather Than Wealth”
You’re Not Serious ?
After someone says something that you view as “NOT SPOT ON”, have you ever been tempted to “roll your eyes, or emit a sigh, or maybe even a quiet mumble under your breath.” I have to admit that occasionally I’m guilty as charged. In fact, at times my response has even been more dramatic…. perhaps even … Continue reading You’re Not Serious ?
The Lord Blesses The Little With The Great
Some people are just bigger than life. While we admire them, it’s hard to imagine ever doing what they did. This includes great intellects and athletes, care givers…. people from every walk of life who live in an extraordinary way. I read yesterday about Green Beret Colonel Paris Davis who was awarded the Medal of Honor for … Continue reading The Lord Blesses The Little With The Great
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,

Christians should be … Continue reading Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,
“Going Full Out”
I had a good friend who was a test pilot on the F-14 fighter jet. He held a number of the speed records on the plane during its testing phase. As he explained it, he was a bit crazy at the time and had nothing that stopped him from going all out. Fortunately he was … Continue reading “Going Full Out”

“I’ve Heard God Is With You”
Originally Posted Oct. 1, 2021 As Christians we hear a lot about evangelization…. preaching the Good News”…introducing others to Christ…. “showing another beggar where the food is”. Yet there are a couple of parts to this puzzle. One is the preaching of the good news; the other is the acceptance of this wonderful offer. As … Continue reading “I’ve Heard God Is With You”
“How Do You Top This”
I guess most of us have heard that Tom Brady retired after 23 record setting years in the National Football League(NFL)….winning 6 Super Bowls and holding numerous records. In the NFL, he is generally considered the GOAT (GOAT= Greatest of All Time). Tom is 45 years old and it seems that he will never do … Continue reading “How Do You Top This”
