Tuesday evening Monieca and I were watching a documentary on the Amish and the 2006 tragedy in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania where a gunman entered a one room Amish school and shot ten beautiful girls, killing five of them. It was not easy to watch and I have to admit I got a little choked up.… Read More »
A Woman And A Phone Call
Most Sundays Monieca and I eat lunch after church with our son and his wife. We’re taking advantage of this period in life when we all live in the same city and attend the same church since it’s not likely to always be this way. For instance our daughter was always part of these lunches… Read More »
Who’s Praying For You?
I was doing what I like to do most Saturday mornings at home…sitting at the kitchen counter drinking coffee while reading…when the telephone rang. It wasn’t bad news. In fact the call was a blessing. It was a lady who leads the prayer ministry in one of our Sunday School classes and she wanted to… Read More »
An Image From The Past
I don’t know what made me think about it, but images from my senior class trip to New York City recently filled my mind. There were the normal tourist sites like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Radio Music City Hall and the Rockettes, a seven course dinner at Mama Leones, a Broadway… Read More »
This One Thing Will Help You
If you knew that doing just one thing would likely have a dramatic and positive impact on your walk with Jesus Christ, would you do it? Especially if you knew that it would not be that difficult to do? I get it…we hear so many trick questions we’re hesitant to quickly answer a question like… Read More »
Those Silly Cats
For Valentine’s Day, Monieca and I ate dinner at Outback…the prime rib was really good. When we got home, our two outdoor cats (we live in the country) reminded me of an important lesson in life. Now I know you might think that’s silly, but let me explain. One of my fondest memories is from… Read More »
I’m Still Smiling
The teenagers at the small church I where I was serving as Pastor were getting together on a Friday night and I was supposed to do some teaching on Christian dating standards. I was going to share with them some of the principles others had taught me when I was in high school. God had… Read More »
A Baby And A Dying Man
The digital photo frame on the night stand beside our bed holds hundreds of photographs. Tonight I glanced at it as several pictures of our grandson, Liam, appeared. Taken the night he was born, they brought back a lot of memories. Among those memories was the moment Monieca and I received the phone call from… Read More »
I Love To Tell The Story
I couldn’t help it…I got emotional and choked up while the congregation was singing a hymn during the Sunday evening service at my home church when I was a college student. Richard, one of my spiritual mentors, was being ordained to the preaching ministry and we were singing “I Love to Tell the Story.” The… Read More »
Her Name is Crystal
Her name is Crystal and I promised to pray for her. In a minute you’ll understand why. I’ve been on a study retreat this week and for dinner I stopped at a T.G.I.Friday’s. The meal was good and I had just started reading a book about the disciples when Crystal approached my table. She was… Read More »
