Hello everyone – It has been quite some time since I last wrote anything in this blog. I hope you are all doing well. My goal is to once again get into the routine of writing regular weekly posts. A number of things have prevented me from doing this the last few months. First, IContinue reading “The Calm Before the Storm”

Ancient Alien Theorists Suggest…
I watch very little television. When I say I watch very little television, I mean very little. I really don’t care for sit-coms or dramas. And don ‘t even talk to me about game shows or daytime television. Blech! My viewing is mostly limited to sports, news and documentaries. Having said that, there is oneContinue reading “Ancient Alien Theorists Suggest…”
Apocalypse Meow (Advent One)
I don’t know what it is about Christmas trees, but cats just can’t leave them alone. Or decorated. Or standing. We used to have a cat that would climb up into the middle of our Christmas tree until all you could see were her glowing eyes. The only evidence that she left of her presenceContinue reading “Apocalypse Meow (Advent One)”
Joyful Noise
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth… Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. (Psalm 100 – appointed for Christ the King) As one of my spiritual disciplines, I haveContinue reading “Joyful Noise”
Reality Check
One minute you’re hereNext minute you’re gone Bruce Springsteen Grace and peace. I hope everyone is well. Some posts are easier to write than others. This one is particularly difficult, because I have run out of words. Well, that’s not entirely true. I just don’t know what to say these days. I could talk aboutContinue reading “Reality Check”
Feet of Clay
I knew the day would come eventually. This past Saturday my wife woke me with the news that Sean Connery was dead. As a male growing up in the 1960’s, Connery was a huge presence in my childhood. For years I idolized him. It all started in 1964 when my sister Karen took me toContinue reading “Feet of Clay”
Living in a Thin Time
I’ve never admitted this to anyone, but I have a problem with ghosts. To begin with, I don’t like to be startled. Knowing this, my wife likes nothing better than to jump out of some hiding place and scare me. It’s no wonder that I’m always on full alert. Ghosts are by nature a startlingContinue reading “Living in a Thin Time”
Independence Day
34Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. 35The slave does not have a permanent place in the household; the son has a place there forever. 36So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:31-36 My favorite word in the English language is ‘independence.’ Continue reading “Independence Day”
The Treasures of Darkness
Thus says the Lord…I form light and create darkness. Isaiah 45:7 What do you dread? Snakes? Heights? Public speaking? Election season? Personally, I’m dreading Halloween. Not because of the pandemic, not because of the little spooks, but because this year the end of Daylight Savings Time coincides with Halloween. The end of Daylight Savings used toContinue reading “The Treasures of Darkness”
Perspective
I hope and pray that you are all well. Yesterday was World Communion Sunday. I’m thankful that my wife Jody and I were fortunate enough to be able to celebrate this special day in church when so many are still unable to worship together. World Communion Sunday was established in 1933 by an American ministerContinue reading “Perspective”
