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.

This opportunity provides much hope and optimism as we seek to take steps to return to our “normal” weekly assemblies in the future. Let us remember additional …
How Can We Be United?
Philippians 2:1-4 says, “Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in …
Tests First, Lessons Later
We often get the tests first and the lessons come later. We learn the most about ourselves when challenging times show up. While we do not find comfort in being challenged, we can often discover growth! Since Friday, March 13th, all of us have been “shuttered” due to COVID-19. We all have heard more and …
Seek First To Understand, Then Be Understood
Stephen Covey was an American educator, author, businessman, and keynote speaker. His most famous book is entitled, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” This book highlights seven ways one can be more effective in life, work, or their profession as they seek to hone their craft. Habit #5 is: Seek first to understand, then …
Can I Count On You?
During the early 1990’s, one of my favorite songs on the radio was called, “Can I Count On You?” The song is based on a young boy and girl who begin dating, marry, and go through life together. The music video of the song takes you through different stages of life that challenges them: job …
