We Christians are kind of a goofy bunch of people. I was thinking about it the other day and where, other than church, do you get together with a bunch of other people and sing in unison? Maybe during the National Anthem or the 7th inning stretch? You might sing[…]
Epiphany – it means a striking appearrance
Christmas is over. Well, if you go to any shopping center you’ll be convinced that its over! I was at Target today and saw both Valentines and St. Patricks Day items! A week ago the Christmas section was full and bustling and now it has 75% off signs all over![…]
Winter Wonderland
I’m sitting at my favorite coffee shop enjoying a cup of coffee and appreciating the invention of central heat. A minute ago, Bing Crosby was singing Winter Wonderland, which I had to laugh at. Here in Louisville, I’m looking out at snow and about 1/2 an inch of solid ice[…]
Conspire Fully!
Grace, Peace and the warmest of blessings to you on this very cold Wednesday morning! I hope you can find a great cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate to enjoy, wherever you are! I downloaded an album the other day that, to be honest, I didn’t quite know if[…]
Watching for Hope,
Happy Thanksgiving! On the 25th, we will once again take time to have our annual meal of thanks. Turkey, Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Beans, Cranberry sauce, gravy, pies and a whole lot of other foods that we will consume and then head to the couch for football and turkey induced[…]

Taking a risk
This past week has been a blur! I’ve been coming and going and running and trying to sleep when I get a chance. I’m usually busy, but this this week has been on overdrive. Even today, Thursday, my favorite day of the week, I’m finding my schedule overloaded. I’m currently[…]
the end of Acts???
The last 6 weeks have been a whirlwind! I didn’t even realize that they had passed so quickly until my boys brought home their first report cards! Wow! Life in general the last 6 weeks has flown by, yet if you’ve been following this blog, the last 6 weeks have[…]
Acts – the community that prays together
This is a difficult blog to write this morning. At about 1:15 this morning, my wife’s grandfather – Woodrow Cheshire – went home to be in glory with our God. Papa was truly a “one-of-a-kind” person. He was a farmer and for a time the Mayor of Pompano Beach in[…]
