    “Oh, That I Had the Wings of a Dove…”

    Hello again on this Sunday morning, 9 August 2020. I’d like to share a message of faith with all of you. I suspect most of us by now have felt it. After a discussion last night, a friend of mine said, “There is just so much BS out there.” Everywhere we look, powerful voices are Continue reading

    “Perfect”

    Good morning. Since it’s Sunday, I am sharing a message of faith first of all. I hope it speaks to everyone who reads it. My job requires me to talk.

    “Trapped by Pain”

    Good morning. As usual on Sundays, I want to share a word of faith with all who care to read it.

If you are a Christian, have you ever stepped back and looked at the ministry of Christ with a broad lens? Continue reading

    Walking Out of the Tent

    Good Sunday morning. It is a weekend where Americans consider our nation in so many ways – some positive, some not. Some 240 years ago, this country was born, and in that short time its legacy is already cemented in the annals of history. It has become the most dominant geopolitical power of the age, Continue reading

  • Obstacle or Challenge?

    A friend expressed concern yesterday for the mental health of children in all this as fall semester approaches. So I thought I would use my “learn to live with it” post from yesterday as a platform for my response. The virus and its effect on society are what we call, in my field, stressors. Stressors Continue reading
