Resurrection Buns
It is interesting how each of us have different memories which turn into traditions or anti- traditions. I grew up the oldest and hated Easter egg hunts because I always had to hunt in a separate room from my siblings. On the flip side, I love many of the traditions of Easter and was once…
Staff Words
Every day during this pandemic the staff are taking turns writing a thought or word of encouragement. I was on tap for today When the foundations crumble, what can the righteous do? Ps. 11:3 At the beginning of this year I had not really heard of the corona virus, Wuhan or Dr. Fauci. I never…
Baseball 2020!
What horrible luck – Spectrum finally ends the stalemate so everyone can finally watch the Dodgers and there is no baseball season! The thing about this whole covid-19 thing is that every day is like a whole new ballgame. And I started thinking right off the bat, the whole baseball lingo really describes this current season of life.Warning…
On Hold
So the other day I called my phone company to add a personal hotspot to one of the lines on my plan. I was on hold for over 2 hours so eventually the soothing music was not so soothing and I was worried that I would be cut off and have to start over. It…
Boring is a bad word
Are you bored? Is sheltering at home driving you crazy? Have you binged watched until you want to puke? Have you cleaned and purged every corner of your living space? I have heard that word more in the last few weeks than I have in quite awhile so I felt compelled to share my views.…
24 is Pure Gold!
Today, Clay, you are 24 years old. Kobe’s number! How is this possible?! You are the same age your dad was when I married him. He seemed older than you feel to me. Perspective is interesting isn’t it?! I wonder at what I can say to you today that would be even be close to…
30 is the Next decade!
XXX is a turkey in bowling. It is the number of days in most months. It is the age that Jesus started his public ministry. Abraham Lincoln said that a man should not make any serious decisions until he is 30. Well, Connor, it is too late for that philosophy, since you have already chosen…
Running to Win
Today, I watched my son run a race; actually he and 8 friends ran a marathon (26.2 miles). I am proud of them all for finishing! I personally hate to run. I cannot imagine doing that for 4-6 minutes, let alone 4-6 hours! I often wish I had that kind of drive and commitment, but…
Upside Down
It is interesting to me how backward, upside down and topsy turvy the Christian faith is. Think about it. Jesus won by losing. He taught that to be great, be a servant; to be first, go last; and to be promoted, humble oneself. It gets even more radical when Jesus says to bless those who…
Mohler Christmas 2019
By the time you read this it will be a Happy New Year card! I don’t know about you but it feels like I just wrote a review of 2018 and sent out Christmas Cards. Where did the year go?! 2019 is nearly history. It was a good and busy year. Some things are fairly…
