Right Here, Right Now
Welp, as of yesterday, Super Bowl LVII is set. The Eagles will play the Chiefs in Glendale, AZ. Such got me thinking about past Super Bowls and the teams and personalities that have competed in the game. In the early 90’s, the Buffalo Bills went to four straight championship games (1990—1993).

Cherish Every Moment
Sunday marked the beginning of a brand new year. Can you believe it is already 2023? While this past weekend was celebrated with parties, get-togethers, and time off from work, there was one newsworthy event that stood out. It is more than a mere “sports story.” It is a human story that serves as a …
Spiritual Bucket List
Creating the proverbial “bucket list” can be a lot of fun. Coming up with a list of things you would like to do one day in the not-too-distant future is also a good way to take the first step in accomplishing your goals. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are expected to be growing (1 …
23,000 Breaths

(Psalm 150:6) One of the good things about the Thanksgiving holiday is that we are “forced” to stop our busy, self-centered lives and count our blessings.

Who is to Judge

Consumed
Another monumental election season is about to come to an end. And, again, the season has consumed us! Let me give you an example: My family had to travel to St. Louis recently.

You Make the Call
Earlier this year, my family and I had the great blessing of attending a Reds baseball game in Cincinnati. The Reds are struggling, but we had lots of fun. The St. Louis Cardinals were in town and we were able to witness history as Albert Pujols became the first player ever to hit a home …
Come and See!
n John 1:43-51, we read of Philip excitedly telling Nathanael that he had met the Messiah. He said, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph” (Jn. 1:45). Nathanael remained skeptical and apparently unimpressed. He sarcastically asked, “Can anything good come …
