Short and Precious
Today’s little blog is simple, my friends. I just want to remind you how precious this life is. Our time here is short, and the gifts we’ve been given are many. Live each day as if it were your last. Live each day as if tomorrow you give an account to Jesus about how you…

250
Yes, we have a pretty major event happening tomorrow, July 4th. I remember our country’s 200th birthday back in 1976. I was actually in Germany; my dad was stationed there. The base did an amazing job making sure that the service members and their families had a celebration. I can’t believe that was 50 years…

Prayers for Indy
Many years ago, a friend told me about a couple who sang country, Christian, and folk music. Joey and Rory Feek were “up and coming” when I first learned about them. I enjoyed learning about their story, their getting together, the birth of their little girl, Indiana, and then the sadness of Joey’s cancer diagnosis.…

God Doesn’t See Walls
A few months ago, in this little blog, I shared that we are in the midst of a big project at church. Well, actually, that is the big project. After extensive research and thoughtful prayer, we made the decision that we must take down the current building and rebuild it at a higher elevation. The…

I Am Where You Are

They Want What You Got
I’ve mentioned here in this little blog many times before that you just never know how your small interaction with someone can change their life. You never know when just your behavior, showing Jesus within you, will bring someone closer to Him. Yesterday I attended the funeral of a long-time parishioner. He was 92 years…

Focus On Jesus
Reading the title of today’s little blog pretty much sums up the message. This could be the shortest of the 1,340 blogs I’ve written 🙂 . When you think about it, though, those three words sum up how to live our lives: just focus on Jesus. Yesterday, one of our parishioners (let’s call her Jane…

Rain, Cards, Jesus
I woke up with a start this morning when the thunderstorm outside made itself a little more known. Oy, it was a big thunderboomer as we say. Once I had settled myself, the next thought that came to mind was, “Well, so much for riding my bike or walking outside this morning”. I can’t really…

Start Somewhere
I shared a few months ago in this little blog about the project to take down and rebuild our church. It’s an emotional project, as you can probably imagine. We are just a few meetings away from final approvals from the local officials, and I guess you could say, it’s getting real. We are at…
