Have you ever sat down and thought about the ripples that we make every single time that we make a choice? It can be down-right scary! I laugh out loud because it seems from time to time that if I really do not want to do a thing, then it seems it’s that pesky Jesus telling […]

So, I had this weird thought earlier this morning, that there is no greater loss than losing God! Yes, I know! God is always present! God never leaves us nor forsakes us! But, we can move! It is we who can get lost; and, we do…lots of times! It appears we often misplace God and forget all aboutThe […]

I think that today could be a good day to have a chat about chains. Chains come in all shapes, sizes and lengths and the material used to make them is endless. I began to think about tire chains, logging chains, chain mail (as in armor), motorcycle chains, even chain letters! And, I concluded that from a […]

So, I am thinking that today is a good day to remember that we have our true identity in God! And, yes indeed I am aware that this is a difficult concept to wrap our heads around. For me, it is almost easier to describe what it means if I go into it backwards. In other words, […]

So, I woke up with an old hymn playing in my head today…again! I suspect it is familiar to you. The verse goes, “I have decided to follow Jesus. I have decided to follow Jesus.

So, I think today could be a good day to have a chat about two-by-four messages. I will explain. There is an old saying that from time to time we become so distracted, stubborn and hardheaded that God has to hit us between the eyes with a two-by-four to get our attention. A two-by-four message can […]

Today may be a great day to consider that life really is very simple…when we remember that we can only do one thing at a time. But, that’s the rub, isn’t it? It’s easier said than done. So, we wake up in the mornings and realize we have twenty-five things on our to-do list. It is humanly […]

So, our Young at Heart group went out to eat yesterday and Bain Sharrar was present. And, yesterday was also the seventy-fifth anniversary of the D-Day invasion. Bain was there…at Omaha Beach! Flooded with memories, he began to tell the tales from a firsthand, eyewitness account of this massive invasion that eventually ended with an Allied […]

I think today could be a good day to think about yielding…in a good way. We now have a plethora or a boat load, if you prefer it described this way, of these so-called traffic calming devices called roundabouts. And, they are treacherous indeed! I have discovered that if one has not mastered the fine art of yielding, […]

So, quite a few years ago, a church member in a parish that I was serving gave me an interesting tie for my birthday. That tie was covered with numerous fish all swimming in one direction…except for this one little lowly fish who was different! This little fish was swimming the wrong way. What was so thought-provoking about this […]
