You know Lord, I was thinking about you this morning, as well as about us as your human creation. When you created man, what care and thought you put into him. He was to be the crowning touch of your creation. Not only that, but you gave him the part of you, above all other... Continue Reading →
Biblical Perspective
Our Sunday school lesson for tomorrow is about the patriarch Abraham who is known as the father of faith. A quote from the introduction of the lesson reads: " We love to read about Abraham and his faith; it inspires, challenges, and beckons us to follow his example deeper into the will of God." I...

God Is Good
Just a quick thought for the day, one that I know in my heart, and have to remind myself. In mornings when I wake up and the outlook seems gray, I will strive to remember, even when the world seems otherwise, and yes, you may need to remind me as well, "God is good!" Yes,... Continue Reading →
Half Full or Half Empty
Do I count my blessings or what I wish I had? Do I see the cup half full or half empty? This question is worthy to ask about our personal lives, religious life, our country, and our finances. If we live our lives constantly pining for the things we do not have, we will always... Continue Reading →
The Way of Holiness
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

There is no intention of disrespect in my heart to any social class in this writing. These are simply observations of a day of traveling. So, here goes. My wife... Continue Reading →
The Security of Blame
The other morning my tractor would not start. Okay, so it would turn over, but not quite fast enough to start. So, if the battery was not so old or the alternator would charge it better, then possibly it would have not been depleted so far by leaving the key on. Now, this tractor may... Continue Reading →
The Image
The image was tall, it was huge, standing over the people gathered below, the sun glinting off the bronze metal. There was a general hushed murmur of the crowd as they squinted their eyes from the reflection, to behold the magnificent figure standing before them. The immense statue towered over them it's austere, solemn face,... Continue Reading →
Who Knows?
The bespectacled man was sitting there next to the building. His reddish beard, and green shirt making it difficult to determine at a passing glance, if he was rich, poor, or homeless. His talent, may have been self-taught, who knows. His posture gave the impression he was sitting on the ground. It was his perfect... Continue Reading →
