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,

“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”

Listen To The Heartbeat Of God
As we enter the Lenten season there are so many great readings from scripture, the saints, from current day writers and theologians. I’m finding every article I read wonderful and helpful. It’s like walking thru a delicious buffet filled with all my favorite foods; I’d like to take some of everything, but it’s too much. … Continue reading Listen To The Heartbeat Of God
“The Tale Of The Fruit Flies”
Originally Posted Sept. 28, 2021 I guess it’s part of aging, but some distant memories are becoming sharper in my mind.

“Should We Keep This Quiet?”
I’m often puzzled by the Lord’s instruction to those he had healed. In essence he would tell them, “keep this quiet and don’t tell anyone”…. and they went out and told everyone…… hmmmmmm. Perhaps this is the most disobeyed command we see in the gospels. In Mark chapter one, he healed a leper and then “ sternly charged … Continue reading “Should We Keep This Quiet?”
“We Can Still Do Well”
The Book of Genesis begins with such amazement and hope…creation, the garden of Eden, walking with God …… yet it quickly goes down the tubes. We first have Adam and Eve succumbing to the temptation of Satan and the resulting punishments (e.g. death enters the world) that make their way even to the year 2023. … Continue reading “We Can Still Do Well”
Good Intentions…. To Actions
Well I’m back from my week long journey to Florida and it’s time to restart the BLOG. Here we go. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I recently read that St. Bernard of Clairvaux first coined the phrase…. gee, I thought my mother came up with it. It signifies the difference between what someone intends to do and … Continue reading Good Intentions…. To Actions
“Trust All Things To Jesus…”
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
