Play Ball
Tomorrow is Opening Day for the 2007 season of Major League Baseball and as usual I can’t wait. Last year was fantastic simply because my favorite team, the Detroit Tigers made such a big splash. I have been watching the Tigers ever since I knew what baseball was. My dad used to takes us [...]
I just returned from my morning walk. What a beautiful day it is outside. This is a great time to be living in the Southeast, as many will attest. The azaleas, dogwoods and many other flowering trees and shrubs are all in bloom. As I walked, I couldn’t help but stop in a say hello [...]
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (NRSV)
Our Men’s group is making preparations for our first ever Men’s Spring Retreat. [...]
Why is the death of Anna Nicole Smith such a big story? Yes, she was a controversial figure, famous for living a risqué lifestyle and the widow of a billionaire. Sure, she was a Playboy playmate of the year, but is that really something that we should celebrate? And who can forget that miserable excuse [...]
Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
In 1669, an aging artist finished what would be his last great work. Known as one of Europe’s finest artists, Rembrandt finished his painting of the Prodigal Son only months before he died. The painting is a wonderful illustration of the story that has become so familiar to us. It depicts a father’s [...]
Long Week
It has been a long week, so long in fact that the Saturday Morning Post comes in this special evening edition. Too bad Norman Rockwell isn’t available to contribute some art work.
Things aren’t always what they seem
In an earlier post I wrote about a man to whom I gave my old Ford pick-up so [...]
Psalm 46 tells us to be still and know that God is God, but when you are swampped with work, how can one find stillness? Personally, since last Saturday it has been go go go. There hasn’t been much time to be still. Even when there seems to be stillness, my mind has been racing [...]
Today’s Verse
Acts 4:18-20 So they called them and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge; for we cannot keep from speaking [...]
An excellent post by Chris on his blog made me think about friendships and the way in which we identify our best friends. His post reminds me of an exercise I used one time with a men’s group I belong to. We were talking about who our best friends are, and as usual, most of [...]
In a previous post, I have written about how much I enjoy the music of worship. Our Organist/Music Director is a wonderful talent who has an unmistakable passion for sharing his musical gifts with God’s people. All one needs to do is simply listen and look as he leads the congregation or choir [...]
