A Gift and a Smile
 
Linda took me up on my Gift For You post earlier in the week, and also made the same offer on her blog.  Graciously, she included me on her list of those receiving a gift, and wasted no time in making good on her offer.  The box [...]

Seminary Days

I’m mainly speaking to parents of college age children here but others may find this post of interest.  I have a question for parents out there.  Have you ever attended a class with your children?  I mean a real class in which you received accreditation towards a degree or other certificate.  If you have, what [...]

Church Politics

Yesterday after making my pitch for Al Gore, I got to wondering where he would stand on faith issues.  This has been a hot topic for several candidates and many have been asked to address matters of their faith.  According to and article from The Christian Post, all of the candidates for president say they [...]

I’ll See Your Obama and Raise You One Gore

Political posts are a rarity for me, but I just noticed that I made two mentions of Al Gore in one blog post earlier today.  The man must be getting some positive press if even I can work him into the conversation.  Truth be told, now that he has his Nobel Prize in hand, I [...]

How many licks does it take?
 
For a science project, my little girl’s second grade class chose a unique lab to demonstrate the effects of erosion.  They decided to find out just how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.  This was a fun [...]

Another Web Gem

        
 
 
So I was wondering just what other childhood memories I could relive through searching Google Images and found another gem.  This is a picture of our old house in Northville, the town where I grew up (not the one close to the crick; we moved).  My room was upstairs and looked out over [...]

A Gift for You

Jorge posted something so interesting on his blog that I simply could not pass it up.  In the genre of blog memes, this has got to be the best so far.
 
Be one of the first five to leave a comment on this post and I will send you a gift by year’s end.  In order [...]

The “Crick”

You never know what you will find when you surf Google Images.  I ran across this picture a few nights ago while searching for a picture of a creek.  What’s so special about it you may ask?  Well, it is a picture someone posted of the creek where I used to play as a boy.  This [...]

What Kind of Love?

 

 
What kind of love holds you,
Even when you resist;
What kind of love embraces,
When you refuse to be kissed?
 
What kind of love guards you,
When you walk away from light;
What kind of love leads you,
When your faith takes flight?
 
What kind of love comforts you,
When you’re sad or feel alone;
What kind of love stays with you,
When all your [...]

Your Faith has Saved You

Normally I would post a sermon after I preach it, that way I could post it as I preached it.  Today, however, we won’t be home until much later inthe day, so here is a copy of sermon as it rolled off the printer. 
 

Luke 17:11-19  On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between [...]
