So today is Thanksgiving Day in America. I’m glad we set aside a special day to give thanks. It easy to forget to be thankful, even though the scriptures are very clear that thanksgiving is not just something we do once a year. We’ll be celebrating thanksgiving today with Pam’s family. The extended family is [...]

Thanksgiving Day November 27, 2008 I thought instead of commenting on the scriptures this morning. I would give you the links to the scripture and give you the full scriptures today. The scriptures today are quite self-explanatory. Remember to give thanks today. Deuteronomy 8:7-18 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a [...]

This past week, I was reintroduced to the story of the Mayflower and the Pilgrims. The voyage was actually a business venture between the Pilgrims or the “Saints” and Separatists or the “Strangers.” The Saints lived their lives according to God’s Word — they were looking for freedom to practice their religion away from the [...]

After last week’s performance, our team landed right back in 13th place. Tonight was the final week of the first half. Maybe the 2nd half will be better. The great part is that every team has new life. All the won-lost records are reset, so it is a brand new season next week. Our team [...]

It seemed like everytime we turned around yesterday morning Pam and I were talking about sheep and goats — from the Lectionary readings to Pam’s Junior Church time. So I though I would take us way back, prior to 1983 to Keith Green’s classic Sheep and the Goats. I very rarely hear this song without [...]

[Audio] [Video] Today, we mark the end of the church calendar. The church calendar begins four Sundays before Christmas in a time that we know as Advent. We will begin Advent next Sunday. Advent is a time when we prepare for the Lord’s coming. There is a dual purpose in that not only do we [...]

Today did not start like a normal Saturday starts. At 2:30 AM we had a visitor to our door. This man needed a ride to Wal-Mart. His story was that his mother sick and he needed to go see her at Wal-Mart. Dale was smart and called the sheriff’s deputy who goes to our church. [...]
What Does Your Calendar Say About You?

Our children look forward to this time of year — Maybe for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Of course, that is part of the answer, but they also look forward to picking out the family calendar for the year. I do not remember when all this started about calendar and our family.
