Last Sunday at Mass the communion hymn, ” In Every Age O Lord” , touched a longing deep in my heart. It’s based on Psalm 90 which reads, “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.”(Ps. 90:2) At times, I can find myself overwhelmed … Continue reading “Thou Art God”

“Repentance & Forgiveness—A Spiritual Chain Reaction”
A chain reaction is described as “a self-sustaining chemical or nuclear reaction yielding energy or products that cause further reactions of the same kind.” A chain reaction keeps going and going and going. In the process, it gives off tremendous energy. A nuclear reaction may be the most known example….could be good (nuclear energy), or … Continue reading “Repentance & Forgiveness—A Spiritual Chain Reaction”

Life can be hard, at times very hard. But you know what, “It’s gonna be okay”. With the Lord at our side, it’s gonna be okay….all will be well with our souls” Wipe those tears away because our Lord will have the last word… and that word will be joy and peace and happiness and … Continue reading “It’s Gonna Be Okay”
Waiting Can Be Tough
I can’t think of anything that is not affected by timing. It’s often not predictable or obvious, but still so important. Years ago a friend was helping to build a house… he had paused for a moment to catch his breath and stepped away just as a beam came crashing down right where he had … Continue reading Waiting Can Be Tough
“It Is You O Lord, You Are The Only One”
I recently sent a note to a friend and BIG Miami Heat fan, congratulating him on how his team had put up a very good fight against the Denver Nuggets who are up 3-1 in the NBA finals. Well, he just got back to me quoting Yogi Berra, “Dave, it ain’t over till it’s over”. Hmmmm, Bill … Continue reading “It Is You O Lord, You Are The Only One”
“Delight In The Lord’s Deliverance”
“When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, … Continue reading “Delight In The Lord’s Deliverance”
“When The Going Gets Tough…”
“No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.” (1Cor. 10:13) Hmmmmm, easier said than done. I have a friend who is … Continue reading “When The Going Gets Tough…”
“Stand In The Door”
The second to last command to paratroopers getting ready to exit the airplane is “stand in the door”… they’ve already heard “stand up… hook up…check equipment. They are ready to go… all the preparation is completed… they are just waiting for the final command. It is much like our walk with the Lord. Before the … Continue reading “Stand In The Door”
“Having A Big Mouth Is Not Always Bad”
For a TV Show that was only on for one year, the “Honeymooners” was a classic. Most people from my generations remember Ralph Kramden as the loveable buffoon who constantly shot himself in the foot. When his latest scheme would come crashing down, he would often shout in desperation, “YOU KNOW WHAT NORTON, I’VE GOT … Continue reading “Having A Big Mouth Is Not Always Bad”
“Crossing The Bridge”
Transitions are often difficult. They come in different shapes and sizes all our life…. sometimes they seem to come every week or month… other times they come every few years, or as our stage in lifechanges. Crossing the bridge to the next moment is often not easy. I remember being at Camp Chaminade, a two week … Continue reading “Crossing The Bridge”
