These 3 C’s have been given to me in abundance over the past few days. I am humbled and grateful.  Life is full of surprises and the latest one, on the heels of retirement from pastoring, was a real lulu. I have an appointment with a surgeon tomorrow afternoon and under the care of hisContinue reading “Caring, Compassion & Concern”

A year ago, I wrote a blog entitled, Resolution VS Revolution. It started a chain of events in my life that changed just about everything. Go back and read it if you have time. The jist of that missive was this: stop listing new year’s resolutions (I’ve never really done those anyway) and resolve toContinue reading “I Am Resolved”

The Democrat party has fallen on its own sword with glee and satisfaction. In their blindness to reality, they have declared that all is well in America. They have called upon their current leader who has completely failed at his job to promote his protoge to follow in his footsteps and continue the policies thatContinue reading “A Political Musing”

For thousands of years, this truth has stood in all the cultures of the world: no one deserves anything they do not work for. It is still true, but many in America have lost sight of the value of it. For several generations in our country, politicians, in an effort to foster their own flawedContinue reading “The High Cost of Ignorance”

Today was absolutely phenomenal. I woke around 4 AM and immediately thought about the high school and college students we would honor during worship @ TCALF. For the past 25+ years, I’ve presented a lot of bibles, encouraged students to stay in the word, and challenged them to walk with God and live a dynamicContinue reading “Walking a New Path”

A lot of people I know are OC–Obsessive Compulsive. Some of us are, or used to be, OCD. If you have ever suffered from OCD, you know life can sometimes be pretty miserable. It goes a lot further than “a place for everything and everything in its place.” I remember a time when I couldn’tContinue reading “The OC”

One day Jesus was walking through Capernaum and a great crowd gathered, as was usual.  Jesus set about healing those who were sick and the religious crowd got all flustered.  They accused him of blasphemy, because as he healed those who were ailing, and they believed in him, he forgave their sins. Duh! Their accusationContinue reading “The Great Physician”

I don’t do this very often, but I’m going to print an important  article here from a source I trust implicitly. The source is Hillsdale College. The publication is Imprimis. If you don’t already have a subscription–get one; it’s free. If you don’t already support them, do so if you can. The author of thisContinue reading “Understanding Islam in our culture”

This morning, as I was reading for my ifit journal, I started, like many of you, in the book of Deuteronomy. Moses recounted the past 40 years of wandering by Israel because they rebelled against God and didn’t take the land filled with milk and honey. Thousands died, thousands more suffered, and finally Israel wasContinue reading “The Heart of the Matter”

Matthew West’s song, Do Something, opens with the words, I woke up this morning. Thankfully, I did–just in a hospital bed. My last blog was 48 days ago at the end of a 30 day intense workout schedule. I’ve been feeling great, working hard, leading fitness classes, and enjoying life. Then, a few days ago,Continue reading “ifit VS unfit”
