Have you ever felt lethargic? “Lethargy is described as fatigued, feeling sluggish, weary, having no energy.” For the past week or two I’ve been “under the weather” with a nagging cold or flu … feeling crummy or even lethargic; the “bug” eventually kept me home. I found it hard to pray, hard to “hear the … Continue reading Don’t Give In To Lethargy

“No Pain, No Gain”
Originally Posted Aug. 3, 2021 “No pain, no gain”. We’ve all heard that phrase over the years…from parents, siblings, teachers, coaches, sergeants, bosses, etc. That message is usually delivered to us when we’re in pain…. “tough it out, Mr. Big Baby”. I think the message is pretty clear… we need to push through discomfort and even pain … Continue reading “No Pain, No Gain”
MacBook Down, Need A Sub
I’m pretty proud of myself. My MacBook is on the blink… power cord problem.. so I’m composing a BLOG on my phone. I’m not sure it will work, but I’m giving it a try. I’m so focused on the nuts and bolts that I can barely think of the story. Hmmmmm. It reminds me of … Continue reading MacBook Down, Need A Sub
Wake Up !!!

The early readings focus on being ready…ready that Christ’s next coming, whether at the time of our death or his 2nd coming to the earth, doesn’t catch us asleep…. … Continue reading Wake Up !!!
“ Don’t Kill The Messenger”
Originally Posted Aug. 2, 2021 I think most of us have heard the phrase. “ a prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.” Jesus said it himself in Matthew’s gospel. (Mt.13:54-58) Why is that ? Is it because familiarity breeds contempt… “hey, I know you, you’re one of us… … Continue reading “ Don’t Kill The Messenger”
“Don’t Be Surprised”
Originally Posted July 30, 2021 It seems that I’m often getting surprised. It’s usually not a huge surprise…nothing earth shattering, but enough to knock me off balance a bit. Maybe an appointment gets cancelled or I’m asked to do something that I wasn’t planning and my schedule and plans get knocked out of whack. “David, … Continue reading “Don’t Be Surprised”
“O Sing To Him, Sing His Praise …”
Originally Posted July 29, 2021 I was reading from Psalm 105 today and was touched by its power and beauty. “Give thanks to the Lord, tell his name ….

Any Good News ?
Originally Posted July 28, 2021 Is there any good news today? It does seem that all we hear about is bad news. Even sports is contaminated with a “haze of politics and anger”. I used to love watching my favorite team, rooting for them, always hopeful for better years to come. Bad news does tend to … Continue reading Any Good News ?
Black Friday– Another Opportunity To Give Thanks
Well it’s Thanksgiving night and I have to say I had a wonderful Thanksgiving …. great meal, enriching fellowship with a lot of laughs, modified slightly by some mediocre football viewing. You may be wondering did I overdo anything. Yes I must confess that I ate too much. I’m serious, I ate too much. The food was … Continue reading Black Friday– Another Opportunity To Give Thanks
