  • Pentecost

    Reflecting on Pentecost today, and its relation to Memorial Day, missions, and the church, I have a flood of thoughts cascading through limited cerebral real estate. My sermon text for today is from my expository series on Romans and yet, it describes what Pentecost fulfills: 7 – Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also…

  • Nor the Memorial of Them Perish

    (Esther 9:28) And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. We walk gingerly among the gravestones that dot the pathways of our…

  • The FLOW of Grace

    It has been suggested that when storms come into our lives, that we "go withthe flow." I would like to suggest that we embrace grace as a flow of God’s mercy and attention in our lives. Psalm 11:1 – "In the Lord I take refuge.  How then can you say to me: “Flee like a…

Many people simple do not succeed in the race to riches because they wear themselves out…

    In this life, there are some things that set us apart from others, our differences, and there are things that we have in common with all humanity. What sets us apart is the repulation we build through our choices and relationships. What draws us together is the reality that we have all been created by…

  • William Wallace Speech from Braveheart

    They may take our lives,     But they will never take         Our FREEDOM! What is it worth for you? Are you willing to put forth a bit more effort? A few sleepless nights? Abandonment of your comfort zone? A Risk? Be challenged.

  • Should You Consider Network Marketing?

    No one system of commerce has received as much enthusiasm on one sign and criticism on the other. I am a big supporter of the concept of network marketing for reasons I state below. However, it is important to factor in some questions when choosing to affiliate with one of the many fine network marketing…

  • Musings – But Not Necessarily Amusing

    I read Proverbs every day and often comment here on one or two related to business, wealth, or work. These today are just some that spoke to me about how we think followed by a reflection on my own thinking and start/stop/start behaviors. Proverbs 21:1 – (NIV) The king’s heart is in the hand of…
