One of my favorite times of the year is fall. I love to watch how God paints the colors of the leaves. It’s still hard to get used to the main show not starting until mid-October. The leaves have finally started changing colors. Many trees are still green. We have a maple out back that [...]

Wow! God was good to us once again. Today was our Friend Day Celebration, while we didn’t come anywhere close to 100, we did have 66 which is about 20 more than usual. Several of our students brought there friends. I invited some of my friends but they didn’t come. There was a sweet presence [...]

On Wednesday night our bowling team, pre-bowled for next week’s games. It was a different atmosphere at the bowling alley. There was another league bowling, but not a church league.

Tonight, I started out with high expectations. The first game got off to a rousing start with me bowling a 142 game which is 9 pins over my average (not too bad.) Things went downhill from there. The next game I bowled a 131 which is 2 pins below average. The last game was interesting [...]

Yes, this post is a little late. Normally, I take time as the evening is winding down on Sunday, to gather my thoughts and post something inspirational. Unfortunately the computer had other plans last night. (Actually, I think it was the power strip the computer was plugged into.) Yesterday, we restarted the Lifesong Lessons sermon [...]

The other day I got a weekly e-mail from the Department of Communications of the Wesleyan Church. It seems the youth of today aren’t much different than the youth of thousands of years ago. A tablet found in ancient Assyria, dated around 2800 B.C. says, “Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are [...]

The other day I posted on Jim Collins’ interview “What Makes a ‘Good to Great’ Church?” on Pastors.com. Collins was asked, “How does business sector greatness differ from church greatness?” He replied, “The biggest distinction is the role of money. In the business world, money works both as a fuel to achieve greatness and as [...]

I had a great outing last night in our church league and so did the rest of our team. We bowl in a handicap league and the other team gave us 143 pins. All of us bowled above our averages for the night so that we used that 143 pins to our advantage winning all [...]
