Yesterday I wrote about “an unguarded moment” in my life. That moment took place in the early Spring of 2000. I catch myself sometimes thinking a lot about times that have gone by. It’s interesting to me that my children do the same. Just the other day one of them made the comment that she [...]

Genesis 2:7 “God formed Man out of dirt from the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life. The Man came alive – a living soul!” (The Message). What a great morning it is! I got up with a cold… chills all over. The house is quiet and all I can hear are [...]
I wish I were smart on things that pertain to a lot that I don’t know. I attended a Passover Meal this week at The Church at Woodland. It was a fantastic evening! I was amazed at all the details that pertain to the Passover and how the Passover Meal tells the story of Jesus. [...]

Ouch! Eugene Peterson’s way of wording in The Message is great. The title “Knife-happy circumcisers” is from Philippians 3:2. It’s interesting to see in just about every field of work, play, and even the church people want to be seen. People want the recognition “due them”.

Strong. Steadfast. Integrity. The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23, “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (NKJV). Knowing this helps [...]
I served at a church in Albuquerque along with a guy named Mike. I learned a lot from him in those few years. One of the things I admired most about him was his servant heart. I could ask him do do anything and he was all over it! What a heart and passion he had and still has for people. He [...]
