Thankful for Jesus
This week, we will gather with friends, family, and loved ones to “give thanks” for our blessings, reflect on the past, and remember those who are no longer with us. As we gather, may we continue to be thankful for Jesus Christ. May we be mindful of the sacrifice He made for us, remember our …
The Empty Swing
Last Sunday afternoon, I walked for about forty minutes at home. It was a nice, brisk fall afternoon. I finished up walking as the darkness was moving in on our part of the world. As the wind blew, I could see out of the corner of my eye a swing in a tree we put …
The Old Clothesline
My daddy was a man of many talents. He thawed frozen water pipes under the house during the winter, repaired bicycles, house fans, was a great cook and even overhauled a car engine in our driveway. When I was old enough, my job was to always hold the flashlight, carry the toolbox, or just talk …
A Challenge Is An Opportunity
All facets of life have been modified or adapted to meet safety guidelines and to be cautious in relation to the Coronavirus. We know these changes have brought challenges. However, we know each time a challenge is present, an opportunity is evident. Churches across the world and churches in our region have had to develop …
In God We Trust
Much has been made of legislation in Kentucky requiring public schools to post the phrase, “In God We Trust.” Some schools have totally embraced this law by very clearly and boldly making these words visible while other schools have done all they can to barely meet the requirement of displaying these four words. I am …
Why Should We Answer Questions About Our Faith?
Recently, I had two co-workers initiate several conversations about “religion” and Christians. These conversations seemed to happen frequently and were abrasive at first. I attempted to listen and absorb their comments as they would make comments about “church.” As the comments continued over the course of several days, I decided it would be best to …
Missing Our Loved Ones
Not an hour fades from the clock that does not find us thinking about, missing, or longing to be with our friends, neighbors, family members, or spouse that has already passed away. We know the void we have is a result of the deep love we shared. We are confident in the expectation of comfort …
6 Months Later – Thank You to Our Elders
Approximately 6 months ago, daily life for everyone changed due to the Coronavirus. While some “day to day” activities have returned to some normalcy, most have not. Worship service times and church gatherings were altered. From day one of realizing the need to keep our congregation safe physically and growing spiritually, our Elders made many, …
Doing The Best We Can
Several years ago, I took a young man swimming at our local YMCA just about every Saturday morning as part of his community-based instruction program. One of the lifeguards (Joe) befriended us and would talk with us frequently when we arrived at the pool. We would have lots of talks and cover a lot of …
Life Is Too Short And Life Is Too Long
You may have heard me mention Amy’s dad from time to time in lessons or conversations. I love being around him for many reasons, but I really like being around him due to his ability to speak “one liner after one liner” in most situations. One of my favorites is “Life Is Too Short and …
