Today is a great day to remember that storms never last. Yes, I know…when we’re in the midst of a storm, it can feel as if we’re going to get blown away. Even so, storms have a limited shelf life. Sometimes, many of us are going through storms together, all at one time. Sometimes, the storm is just […]

Have you ever considered that maybe the most difficult task that life hands us is to make friends with ourselves? I am reminded of that old Pogo cartoon that some of the environmental movements are using as a slogan nowadays, “We have seen the enemy and they are us!” I have often felt that our worst […]

Today is sacred! Sacred means blessed and holy. This day is blessed and holy because it’s the only one we have; and, now is all that has been given to us. I know that I harp on this subject quite a bit, living in the precious present and all, but have you considered how much time, energy and […]

We’re having a wonderful one because we are not powerless; and, we’ve decided it will be this way. When we change the way that we look at things, the things we look at change. Our thoughts and our words make a significant difference in how we experience life. Of all God’s creatures, we seem to be […]

Today is a day that the Lord has made. The possibilities are endless. So, forty days after Easter, the Christian calendar observes the Ascension. The Ascension is an eyewitness account of Christ going up into heaven. “…he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into […]

Lent is done! Easter is two days in the rearview! So, maybe we’re thinking something along the lines of what’s next? Well, I am glad you asked! I think that today is a great day to give some thought to that dreaded concept, change. Change is different and different is not the same. And, usually we hate different! Creatures of habit we […]

Welcome to Good Friday! We call it good because it’s good for us, us being all of humanity. But, that dark Friday back in the day was a really bad day for Jesus. It probably wouldn’t take much for us to feel a bit weepy today as we give some thought and prayer to Jesus’ passion. If we think on […]
