My mission field is sometimes at Costco. I had the honor of driving some wonderful Saints on some errands today so missed the exercise I had planned but ended up near Costco. I always need gas. Several conversations ensued. The gas station attendant was moving slowly. I noticed a cast and got the story on…

I don’t know if everyone in Heaven will be beautiful but I am guessing yes. I can’t imagine pimples or any other condition that caused shame and embarrassment here. What was once natural in the physical world, and familiar, should be better. A new body is promised and Jesus is the first fruits. James 3:16,…

I’ve done several readings of C.S. Lewis’s, ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’. Most recently to fourth-grade students, before that my children one summer, and then my original reading as an early teen. I happened upon the end of the film today and had missed the elixir allegory. There is the creepy battle with…

The best reason for sharing your faith? “Love your neighbor as yourself” Done – there is nothing more to say today…

“Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed upon you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery”, I Tim 4:14. Are you hot? What fuels your faith?

Care, as a word, is mentioned often in scripture. “God will take care of you…Take care of the church…Because he cares for you…Members…

A dear friend just sent me a recent speech from Pope Francis. She meant for me to be encouraged as it encouraged her. Kudos for lovers of people who reach out to share encouragement. I’m wondering if I am in a bad mood because the content did quite the opposite. I read waiting for the…

What began as a typical Monday outing turned into three crazy hours of shopping. I missed the mark. I don’t know why it bothers me so much except that I view time as my friend and I don’t like it wasted. I was mailing something to my sister so success at the post office except…

When HGTV first appeared I could not have been happier. I even loved the personal “make-over” shows where the experts helped us regular people (limited fashion sense) transform into a prince or princess. One such show was on fixing up a home for resale or flipping. I have a little experience with this because of…
