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. …
Condescend To Men Of Low Estate
In his book entitled, Balance: A Tried and Tested Formula for Church Growth, Ira North, in chapter seven, points us to the importance of helping the poor, the downtrodden, and the “lowly.” Brother North quotes Romans 12:16 (KJV) which says Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things but condescend to …
244, and Counting!
I love The United States Of America! We celebrated our country’s 244th birthday this past weekend. I am so thankful for all the freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this nation. We continue to enjoy these freedoms due to our wonderful armed services made up of dedicated men and women. I have always been a …
