I can tend to think that the time to move forward with new initiatives from the Lord is when things are really going great, when the church and the culture are doing wonderfully well….”boy, let’s move into high gear and win the world for Christ”. Well, I guess there’s examples from history where this proved … Continue reading “Trust All Things To Jesus…”

Insurance Against Mayhem
You’ve probably seen the Allstate Insurance commercial where “Actor Dean Winters plays the dastardly and destructive Mayhem, wreaking havoc on people's property, prompting their need for some Allstate coverage.” Hmmmmmm. It could almost remind us of some of the antics of the devil. Today many would ask, “hey, is there really a devil; is there really a … Continue reading Insurance Against Mayhem
“Thanks …… I Needed That”
In the movies from the '40's & '50's, subtle correction was usually not present. If someone was losing a grip due to some trauma, John Wayne would slap him across the face and say, “Snap Out Of It …slap,slap,slap…..Snap Out Of It”….. and the recipient would say, “Ahhhh, thanks, I needed that.” Depending on the circumstances, the … Continue reading “Thanks …… I Needed That”
NEWSFLASH— We’re Not In Charge”

Originally Posted Sept. 2, 2021 Recently I’ve been posting a number of BLOGS from last year.

We all can have different opinions about almost everything. … Continue reading “Open The Door”
“It’s Not Easy”
I was recently watching an episode of “The Chosen” and was struck by the dialogue of Jesus with the apostle “James - the Lesser”, who is depicted as having a disability. James is asking for a healing and Jesus does not heal him. It’s pretty intense….. it was a straight forward, non flowery, even blunt … Continue reading “It’s Not Easy”
“You Are Beautiful”
Today Judy and I were asked to “share our faith story” with some young people at Koinonia Academy…. grades 7-12, about 13-18 in age. Having not spoken to a group of young people for quite awhile, I was trying to remember what would be important to them at that age. Gee, what was I focused on when … Continue reading “You Are Beautiful”
“Only In God Is My Soul At Rest
“In this is love, not that we loved God but that HE LOVED US and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.” (1Jon 4:10) This quote from the first letter of St. John is very important. If we don’t get this straight, we can find our self trying to earn our way into God’s … Continue reading “Only In God Is My Soul At Rest
“It’s Okay To Laugh”
It may be a surprise to you but sometimes I can act a bit goofy….not all the time of course ….. and "hey I’m not really goofy, I just act that way at times". My wife Judy is pretty use to it after 53 years of marriage. In fact, she generally doesn’t raise an eyebrow … Continue reading “It’s Okay To Laugh”
“Be Careful of Headlines”
Have you heard of Yellow Journalism…. “ it refers to sensationalistic or biased stories that newspapers present as objective truth. Established late 19th-century journalists coined the term to belittle the unconventional techniques of their rivals.” Hmmmmmmm, sounds very familiar; I guess today it’s called fake news. Headlines are meant to grab your attention… causing you to read the rest of … Continue reading “Be Careful of Headlines”
