Lauri and I just returned from a week’s vacation in Florida. We experienced beautiful 80 degree days and had lots of fun together, but we were glad to return home. Coming home is always such a good feeling — at least it is for us. Sure, we are still a few weeks away from spring,… Read More »

On Wednesday, I canceled a preferred membership that I had with an unnamed airline. In the past, I had paid an annual fee to secure discounts on tickets, preferred seating and expedited check in, and the conveniences more than made up for the yearly cost of the membership. However, my last two flights on this… Read More »

Once, when Jesus was ministering during his earthly life, he traveled to an area close to the Sea of Galilee. By now in Jesus’ ministry, he was renown for his miracles. He had healed just about every form of sickness, disease and injury that could be imagined, and people who needed a physical intervention in… Read More »

SNOW! I don’t even like the sound of the word! All of you folks using your car as your own private Disney sound studio and doing your best Elsa impersonation singing: “Let it go, let it go! Can’t hold it back anymore. Let it go, let it go! Let the storm rage on! The cold… Read More »

I have often sought to reflect on the feelings Jesus must have been experiencing during the Last Supper. The knowledge of his coming, suffering and execution. The understanding he was soon to leave his friends behind. The realization that Judas had betrayed him. I know I will never fully understand just how Jesus felt that… Read More »

Today is Sanctity of Life Day. Sanctity means something that is considered sacred. Have you noticed that society doesn’t seem to hold much as sacred today? At one time family was sacred… church was sacred… the bible was sacred… marriage was sacred… but today for many sacred is considered old fashioned and outdated. Things that… Read More »

I was so looking forward to taking some vacation time after Christmas. Thanksgiving through Christmas is extremely busy for those in ministry, and I was looking forward to spending time with family and relaxing a bit; maybe even starting a project or two in my workshop. But… I got sick. Two negative Covid tests and… Read More »

It was time for Jesus to begin his earthly ministry. It was time to put away the carpentry tools. It was time to leave his mother and siblings behind. It was time to make the road his home. It was time to reveal the Savior and Redeemer. John the Baptist’s proclamation was the signal from… Read More »

It’s Christmas Eve. I enjoy the reflective atmosphere of Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is the anticipation of Christmas Day. It is the promise of coming hope. It’s the set-up for the celebration. It’s the last moment before the fulfilling of prophecy. On Christmas Eve the Manger was empty… the Heavenly Choir silent… the Shepherds were… Read More »
