I had to stop for gas when I got to town today. As I pulled up next to the gas pump, I noticed a lady beginning to fill her car on the other side of the set of pumps I was about to use. As I got out of the car, I could not see [...]

It is Monday – two days after the world was to end. I am still here and if you are reading this – so are you. I mentioned this at the beginning of my sermon yesterday and a little girl, about 7 years old, shouted out from the second row, “Nobody knows when the world [...]

Have you ever received a phone call that just made your day? Maybe it was unexpected and it was a good surprise or maybe the things the person said really gave you a boost. Yesterday, I had one of those calls. If you have read my ramblings here for very long, you know that I [...]
God Made THIS Day!

Psalm 118:4 says, “This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Think about that for just a minute. This day – today – right now, God made this day. It is typical for us to think of God creating the world and all that is in [...]

Some of you may know and some may not (and most may not care ) but not only did I major in Bible in my undergraduate studies but I also majored in English. One of the remnants of that experience I still carry today is a love of poetry. . . . . Alright, [...]
Thoughts On Tim Sanders’ Book – Today We Are Rich

Several years ago, I had the opportunity to hear Tim Sanders speak. He grew up in Clovis, New Mexico, but he made a name for himself in the midst of the dot.com era working for a time as an executive with Yahoo! I was pulled in by his charisma and passion for communication and then [...]

With all the things going on in the world today, people are looking for answers. They are looking for direction and guidance. Things weren’t so different 2000 years ago. Jesus’ disciples were looking for guidance too. In John 14, Jesus was trying to reassure his followers by telling them that he was paving the way [...]
Skiing Without a Clue

Last week, our family spent two days skiing at Wolf Creek Pass. It was a great time! We had good snow and good weather. The lines were not long at the lifts and no one got hurt – a few bruises, but nothing serious. Our time together as a family was wonderful! We had never [...]
I’ve Got This

What are you worried about today? You may be concerned about safety. After last week’s horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan that would be understandable. Or maybe you are worried about the economy. Retirement is out there somewhere but will there be enough or will I have to work until I die? There are any [...]
The Legacy of Relationships

Last week we finished our class on Wednesday nights over the book and study series by Max Lucado entitled, Out Live Your Life. Over the past 6 weeks, I have done a lot of pondering about what I am leaving behind. When I am gone, will people say, “I am glad he was here.”? [...]
