“But the fruit of the Spirit is…patience.” Galatians 5:22 7:15am: “Oh yea! Mom, I need you to pack me a lunch today.” Patience. 7:59am: “Of course the slowest driver in town had to be in front of me when I was running late for work.” Patience. 9:30am: “The copier jammed on me and I got [...]

Dear David, I’m so sorry for the loss of your newborn son. I can only imagine what pain you and your beautiful bride must be enduring right now. I have heard that you are being attended to well and that you are finally eating again. I must admit I am glad to hear of that [...]

I’m actually in our backyard and in the family tent right now while I post this. I grabbed my iPhone before I left the house to stay current on weather conditions. I figure, if it rains I want to know ahead of time so I can grab my son and head in the house. (Well, [...]

I am at camp this week.  There is something very special about being at camp…well, “church camp” anyway.  I’ve been going to camp since I was very young and have always soaked up whatever I could everytime I went.  It was the week I looked forward to all year, beginning the day after it ended!  [...]

This year America has finally awakened to the excitement of the sport of soccer.  As one who has played the sport since I was a small child, I couldn’t be more pleased with America’s new passion. During this year’s World Cup in South Africa, America as a whole has been introduced to some great current soccer players [...]

Where do I start when I sit down to study the bible with someone who doesn’t know God? Try Acts 17:16-34 When the Apostle Paul was in Athens, he proclaimed the gospel beginning with God and creation.  It is my opinion that this proclamation lesson might be one of the most useful to Christians today [...]

I declare April as… Sit-ups & Push-ups Month! “Oh yeah Lee, who do you think you are?” Well, I’m a man who seriously needs to lose a gut and gain some kind of strength. And yeah, I know, you think I should add “this and that” to these two excersizes if I’m really gonna get a [...]

So, I enjoy posting on Facebook as much as the next guy.  Most of the time it’s random, but sometimes I ask others for their help.  This time facebook was so helpful in a Dad-quest that I thought, “How can I not share this with the world!”  So, here’s the helpful info for you to share: Here was [...]

Baptism has been around for thousands of years. It is generally accepted that it was done in later Old Testament days. It was certainly done in the New Testament days. Christians have been baptizing ever since the beginning of the church. Baptism has never ceased to be a part of the Christian faith, even through [...]

Yeah, she knew she was a Samaritan, from a Samaritan town. She probably knew all about her heritage too, the one that showed the world when her pure Jewish blood was forever tainted with Gentile blood. And based on what she said to Jesus, in all probability she despondently accepted her caste position and just minded her own business. Too,…

Have you heard of Mikeschair?  It’s a band who has a song out entitled: Let The Waters Rise.  My wife turned me on to this song and ever since I listened to it I can’t get it out of my mind.  There are those times in life that just baffle us, when everything is so [...]

Read Luke 8:1-15:  1 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 [...]

I want to make something clear. Like the majority of Americans, I too believe there is a God. I have also taken a step of faith to believe that the Jewish/Christian bible is from God. In the bible I have found many truths about who God is, what he has done, and what he expects of me. [...]

I read an article today online that frustrated me.  The article is entitled: 10 Things Husbands Should Never Do.  Here is the list created in the article published in Women’s Day on December 9th: 10 Things Husbands Should Never Do: 1. Offer to “babysit” your own kids. 2. Imply that office work is harder than [...]

Merry Christmas Everyone! Our family is enjoying a few days of relaxation…well…true laziness.  There is nothing like Christmas Day, waking up at the crack of dawn by your obnoxious children anxious to see what gifts under the tree belong to them.  Then they are opened in record speeds.  Then we play all day long.  Oh [...]
