His Words Are Enough
They really are, you know. Those days when you feel a little down, and you don’t know why. Those days when you feel melancholy and just out of sorts, the word of the Lord is all we need. I guess today is one of those days. The weather is gloomy, trust me, we’ll take the…

The Firsts
Grief can be a very difficult thing. It’s a very personal process. Everyone grieves in their own way, and to say what one should be feeling, well, we can’t do that. We all know there are stages of grief, and sometimes those stages seem unbearable. I do believe, though, that we must go through them…

Be Intentional
For Lent, I committed to reading more of my Bible. I’ve been intentional about it, sitting down and even moving things out of the way on my desk, so that my Bible is the focus. Many years ago, I was listening to a podcast, which was a Bible study of sorts. Anyway, at one point,…

Subtle Pep Talk
This morning, I noticed that the rest of the community was very quiet. Of course, it was dark outside; it usually is when we get up during the week. But this morning, even the neighbors who are usually up when we are weren’t. Homes were still dark, and as I sat out on the lanai,…

Put Me In Coach
So right about now, I’m guessing you have the chorus from the John Fogerty song from about 40 years ago running through your head. No, that wasn’t my intent, but ever since I thought about the message for today’s little blog post, I must admit, it’s been running through mine. I’ve shared here before that…

The Gift of a Brother
Today is a day to celebrate. Well, every day is a day to celebrate in my opinion 🙂 . Today, though, we celebrate my brother’s birthday. I am the baby of the family and have two older brothers. So, as you can probably guess, growing up, I was what we used to refer to as…

A Ride and a Message
This morning I rode my bike around our community. I’m usually out on the road by about 5:15 before the work traffic hits the streets. So, as you can imagine, it’s still dark, and that’s ok. It’s about six miles around our community. It’s a big circle, and much of the ride is “inside the…

What We Make It
Yesterday we marked the start of Lent, the time leading up to the crucifixion, and more importantly, the resurrection of Jesus. This time is what me make it. Well, that’s kind of flip, some might think. Actually, though, it truly is what we make it. We can choose to treat this time like every other…

Not a Part-Time Job
I guess when you read the title of today’s little blog, you might be thinking I’m coming here to talk about work. Well, I am, sort of. I heard something this morning on my walk, while listening to a podcast, and boy, it struck me. The host said, “Jesus did not offer us a part-time…
