When I was in school, I hardly ever studied. I made B’s and C’s, and my excuse was playing a sport each season. I was never pushed by my parents, rarely by teachers, and never by myself to do any better than I did. It is only one of my many regrets, and I’m thankful… Continue reading Wordly or Worldly?
Control
Coronavirus…..God is in control. Worship His name! Stock market crash……God is in control. Praise His name! Job loss……God is in control. Exalt Him on high! Illness…….God is in control. Hallelujah! Storms……God is in control. Magnify Him! Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb,and naked I will… Continue reading Control
Searching
We’ve been privileged to see the group Chicago in concert a couple of times. Their ballads and horn section make them one of the best groups of all time, in my opinion. One song, I’ve Been Searching So Long, came to my mind this morning. Written in 1974, the lyrics hit home with most people.… Continue reading Searching
Psalm 8
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants,you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that… Continue reading Psalm 8
Bought and Paid For
So many of us often choose the wrong thing. The wrong thing to do, say, think, or even eat. We did this when we were young. We see our kids doing the same thing. We do it when we’re older. We do it all the time. Instead of treating our bodies like the temple they… Continue reading Bought and Paid For

If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And… Continue reading Convinced
He Knows
As a human it’s hard to grasp how God became flesh, how Jesus became a man. Did He still know everything? How much pain did He feel? Did He ever use His powers for more than healing? The Bible doesn’t explain a lot except to say He was human like we are. He knows what… Continue reading He Knows
The Hymns
If you asked my three siblings, I think they would agree with me in feeling like we were made to ‘go to church’ every time the doors were opened when we were growing up. Maybe all kids feel this way. When we’re young, we don’t appreciate the sacrifices of our parents or the memories being… Continue reading The Hymns
One More
There have been a lot of songs written about ‘one more.’ One more day, one more hour, one more night, one more river to cross. If only we could have ‘one more’… But what would we really do with the ‘one more?’ Would we change anything? Jesus resurrected only 3 people while He was here… Continue reading One More
