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 …
What Do Pink Elephants Look Like?
How can we deal with the topics of division that surround us in our country and in our community? We all have dealt with times of disagreement, tiredness, aggravation, and simply being “worn” of how we view our treatment from others or from a situation. We may not want to talk or find it difficult …
5280 Feet
“We’re afraid if we give an inch, someone is going to take a mile. Jesus said if they ask for a mile, give them two.” ~Wes McAdams As a student, I relied heavily on charts & tables for measurements and conversions. As time has moved on, one that has always stuck with me is, “How …
What’s Your Message!?
As you know, I love ink pens. While I have my regular set of “go-to’s” of pens I use on a daily basis, I’m always on the “look out” for another pen to add to my repertoire. A commercial caught my eye this weekend that was advertising custom-made pens where a group or organization can …
Preparation (Getting To Know Jesus)
A few months ago, I began working with a cousin of mine in the area of genealogy. I have always enjoyed studying history, but I have never spent a lot of time documenting my family’s history. My cousin’s grandfather was a brother to my grandfather. As we began our journey last spring, we have worked …
Comfort
While we anticipate the rise of the sun each day so we can begin our list of chores, assignments, and complete our plans, we also deal with challenges. On some level, we all battle frustration, “aloneness,” hurt, and problems. Many times, we may feel it is “us” versus the “world” with no support from anyone. …
