Not a drop or a dribble – Not a bite or a nibble I like new beginnings. I was talking to myself before I got out of bed, which was miserable. Hardly any sleep and I’m heading out on a plane tomorrow morning. I struggle with discipline when the temptations mount and the trigger is…

Instead of meeting Jesus at church, live with Him in our homes and bring Him to church.

Jesus had an earthly family including Uncle Zecharias. His uncle believed in Jesus as being more than a nephew because of his own experience with the miraculous. We know Zecharias tracked his son, John the Baptist, and probably stood on his tippy toes to follow Jesus activity. How remarkable to be so close. We look…

I admit that I am a science geek. After a 16 minute clip on expanding particles/fields/fermions/bosons, some which pile up and others that can’t stack, the brilliant Cambridge physicist admits that the mathematically consistent ‘Standard Model of Particle Physics’ is missing something. The recent model is tested but all admit that there is something beyond…

God listens. Today I’m remembering Moses and the escape from Egypt. This will be a brief telling but I think I would be terrified to see the mighty hand of God opposing an earthly leader in such a decisive display. God showed His power over many obstacles like; a stick, snake, a river turned to…

The common folk go about their daily lives experiencing the typical. None are elites or celebrities. I’ll add a bell-shaped curve to this…

The account of the Good Samaritan is how Jesus answered the ‘who is my neighbor’ question. Sometimes we are almost right, as was the lawyer in this dialogue. It is hard for me to remember the punchline in a good joke but I remember it in this terrible, good news – bad news, joke. I…

It is Christmas and grandparents cannot be in two places at one time. I love the old carols that tell of a time of excited travel to the past – grandma’s house. It is no longer the depression era where family networks are in the same neck of the woods. We are spread all over…

I am of, at least, average intelligence and am intimidated by electrical timing devices. Maybe I don’t have enough bandwidth because I would rather meditate on more complex challenges like world peace. I think of that today because a Santa fellow recently asked me what I want for Christmas and world peace popped into my…
