You’re Welcome

I remember when the slogan became popular.  I was young but even then it made an impression of home and prompted thoughts of friendliness and being welcomed.

Easter week is finally here.  It was a dark week in Jesus’ life.  It was a week filled with extremes.  Jesus entered Jerusalem at the beginning of this week to the sights and sounds of the homecoming of a victorious king.  People crowded the streets as he passed by to shout praises and to see [...]

Today is the day!  And we have a winner!  For those of you do not know what I am talking about, last week we had a little drawing.  Last week I reviewed Francis Chan’s new book and study video, Forgotten God.  To make it interesting I promised to give a copy of the book to [...]

Feed Your Faith

I went to the doctor’s office this morning to have my leg checked.  It’s just purple but Kristi thought it would be better to be safe than sorry (she’s pretty smart about these things).  At any rate, while I was waiting, I noticed one of the nurses wearing a jacket that had the hospital logo [...]
