In the Year…2020
Hmmm… I would like to think that means perfect vision. Clear vision, 3-D vision. However, the eye seems to continually need help, naturally speaking of course. Biblically we have ‘eyes of understanding’ or spiritual eyes that are often blinded by the ‘god of this world’ through deception. It truly takes the spiritual eye to stay the course of our journey as Christians.…
Do The Math!
How often do we underestimate our life? Especially when a season is at a fast pace or extremely tedious and mundane. Often we fail to pause long enough to think through the decisions, emotions, attitudes and consequences that test us. Then we do something really toxic…we compare and complain. The Hymn writer penned…”Count your Blessings”. Number them, one by one, you…
Ask Not…?
Peculiar start to this letter to say the least. I was thinking back to a statement I heard as a little 7 year old boy. President John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural speech, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Why I recall that statement made 58 years ago is more than a stroll down “memory lane”. The Holy Spirit is…
Upon Further Review…
You guessed it! It’s finally here! Football season. Ah yes. Go Pack, Go! So is Praise Fellowship Church’s 35th year celebration. A milestone to say the least. Our Fall Schedule begins this Sunday @ 9 am. Sunday school classes for all ages… (Small bible study classes provide interaction). Worship @ 10:15! We will Praise the Lord! As the football season unfolds, we will…
Happy Fourth of July…Hello Summer!
June 21st marked the first day of summer and sure enough…it is here! Whoa, temps near 90 and humidity the same. Someone, hand me a towel. I am NOT complaining; this is Wisconsin. Pastor Cathy and I are enjoying the series, Renewing Our Minds and are working diligently daily to do so. The statement, Miracles come in cans…has me smiling as well as pondering the thought.…
Wait!
Not my favorite word. Yet very crucial in possessing that which is valuable in life. You’ve heard it said, “good things come to those who wait.” Counter it with, “he who hesitates…”… Somewhat of a conundrum wouldn’t you say? Of course it is, unless life has taught and we have learned its lessons. My greatest ally in waiting for something I desperately want…
It’s all in your head!
I’ve been told that………..it’s often someone telling me a fact or perception is not true but imagined, usually with my best interests at heart. However, the mind has an incredible capacity to “see”… imagine, dream, or remember……..All are in your mind. The Bible tells us to renew our mind and not let it conform us…
Value…..
We make most decisions based on “worth.” Every marketing campaign stresses the “value” of the product or service offered. Should I buy, or retain a service, is based on value. This morning we attended a school chapel service in which our grandchildren participated. The Good Friday/Easter story being featured stirred the thoughts and emotions of our…
Hooked on a Feeling…?
I woke up the other morning with that song playing in my head! How’s that for “spiritual”? I would have rather had “hallelujah”! B.J. Thomas made the song popular back in the “day”. I know, I know… it probably wasn’t your “day”. Nonetheless, I had to pursue the question, why the song? It didn’t take long to find the answer. I heard myself use that word “feel” or…
New Year’s Greetings!
As a child, a year’s passing took an eternity…not so anymore. We all seem to relate to that observation. Whether the desire to linger over a moment longer comes with age…or we are living at a faster pace is fact, we are nudged into the faster lane by life itself. What I enjoy most about the New in New Year is the “re-set” or “re-boot” it affords us. Challenges met with…
