You’ve probably heard that “laughter is the best medicine”. In fact I read that “laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals; endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.” Wow, the next time you see some clown rolling on the floor laughing, don’t call the men … Continue reading “Pinochle & Ice Cream”

“Wow, What An Adventure”
Faith is such an overwhelming reordering of our perception of reality. With faith we are able to look beyond the finite and look into the eternal…. looking beyond our problems to God’s blessings. With faith our joy comes alive… our hope wins the day. Listen to these lines of Jacques Fesch, a condemned murderer, who … Continue reading “Wow, What An Adventure”
“Back To My Roots”

“Brown”
Wow, I have to say my head has been spinning and my emotions are up and down. When you’ve known someone your entire life, it’s staggering when they are no longer a phone call away. Even when you know that life is winding down for this person, you just don’t think about it; if I … Continue reading “Brown”

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,
The other day I went to see the doctor and the receptionist was happy. She greeted me with a smile and a cheerful attitude. She even laughed at one of my jokes… and she was helpful, making sure I was headed in the right direction. It’s always nice to meet happy people. Christians should be … Continue reading Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,
“Sharkie—Teaching About God”
Learning comes in many ways. The Lecture is one of the common methods of teaching and hopefully learning. I remember the big lecture hall at St. Louis U…. a hundred or so energetic Organic Chemistry students staring glassy eyed at the board filled with the formula for Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon. Our teacher Dr. Igor speaking with … Continue reading “Sharkie—Teaching About God”

“A Feel Good Story”
Recently I’ve been reading a number of wonderful articles and books that would be good topics for a BLOG. Yet, I need some more time to digest them and try to distill some of the thoughts…otherwise, I should just copy the entire book into the BLOG, and then it’s not really a BLOG….. hmmmmmm. So … Continue reading “A Feel Good Story”
“Granny Is Still Teaching Us”
We are fast approaching Christmas. It’s a time of preparation…get the tree, buy the presents, decorate the home…and hopefully prepare our hearts. For many years we tried to get our shopping done prior to Advent so we could minimize the distractions during Advent…. it’s worked to some degree. As I get older I sometimes think … Continue reading “Granny Is Still Teaching Us”
