FINAL EXAMS

HOW DID YOUR WEEK STACK UP?
I love these old dudes from the Muppets Show. They would sit in their private balcony and review whatever was being presented at the time. Of course, their reviews were always negative and left me thinking “Is this as good … Continue reading
CAN WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
It would seem that once we’ve achieved a lifetime of successes and failures, we would have enough knowledge to help others through some of theirs. We might consider our endless wisdom to be useful to someone. Well, actually life isn’t … Continue reading
SUFFICIENT GRACE
The following is a story of how we hang on to things that we learn as and how they carry over to adulthood. I was about nine or ten, I guess. We had just moved to the lowest level of … Continue reading
ONE WEEK CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING
Last Friday we meditated over the crucified Son of God as His arms stretched painfully upon a cross. His human life was being sucked from Him with the burden of our sins weighing heavily on His back. His final breath … Continue reading
PEARLS OF TRUTH

OH TO BE A BEATNIK AGAIN . . .
I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s – when you were either a square, cool, a greaser or a beatnik. I’m sure every generation has their own labels, but to be a beatnik in the 50’s might’ve been akin … Continue reading
WHAT IS GOD’S WILL FOR MY LIFE?

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A BROKEN HEART?
Have you ever felt that your heart would break, because of the sadness within it? Have you ever experienced a feeling of emptiness within that same heart? There are times when I think we all go through this struggle. There’s … Continue reading
TIME FOR A TIME OUT?
Having spent the last three years in and out of isolation, most of us are not crazy about timeouts. If you’ve been recovering from a long illness, you don’t want to hear that you should relax and take it easy … Continue reading

FIRST RESPONSE OR LAST RESORT?
Worry seems to be part of our human nature. It’s interesting to me that animals don’t seem to carry that trait, and what a blessing for them. I mean, they have to find a warm place to sleep when it … Continue reading
