It has been less than two full days since my daughter Lori suffered a fractured skull and slight brain bleed. She has been in pain and sedated to the extent that conversation has been limited. Last evening I received a call from her Intensive Care room asking if I could read our daily Bible Reading that takes us through the Bible in one year. About ten years ago we started this tradition of reading through the Bible each year. It w

Suddenly we are confronted with an accident and we stand helpless in the flesh, but confident in the hand of the Lord to lead and guide us. Sunday morning my daughter Lori and I had locked the doors where we hold our services and were about to leave for our cars. At the last second Lori decided to double check that the doors were locked while I waited holding

Sometimes I made glaring mistakes. I remember one such incident when my dad quipped, " Honestly, Son, sometimes I wonder why you were ever born!"  I just grinned and sassily replied, " Well Dad, accidents happen!"  He was quick to chastise my remark and assure me that I had certainly been no accident. I deeply regrette

For He Himself has said,  I will never leave you nor forsake you.” What is really important in your life?   There are people who live in massive and opulent homes that cost millions of dollars. It would be easy to think that they have reached the pinnacle of satisfaction, but that is usually not the case. These people are most likely to be miserable. On the other extreme are those who live in humble dwellings that are in low income neighborhoods. Some who resid

All You have made will praise You, O LORD; Your saints will extol You. They will tell of the glory of Your kingdom and speak of Your might, so that all men may know of Your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.” The older I get (and I am getting up there), the more disturbed I am about senseless killing. This is not only true of attacks on other people, but also on the killing animals just for the sport of it. In my hunting days I did shoot game, but it was for food not for spor

I was delighted and hopeful that he wanted spiritual counsel of some sort. We enjoyed a light lunch before going into my office. Suddenly, out of the clear blue, came these words: “I hate your guts!” Wow! You could have knocked me over with a feather. Prior to this outburst there did not seem to be any hint of a conflict between us, so his statement was a blow. With my mind reelin

One summer our Boy Scout troop had a week-long camp and our scoutmaster taught us the fundamentals of building and maintaining a good fire. We always needed dry wood in order to keep the fire burning. Recently I have thought about those lessons while building fires in our small wood stove. When I first ignite the fire there is plenty of paper and kindling allowing the flames to ignite. I

Those of us who possess the least seem to be the least concerned. Why is that? According to today’s Scripture, it has to do with where our heart is. Over the years I have heard excuses from people who fail to
