I don’t know about you, but it seems that death follows me everywhere.   I have participated in four funerals / memorial services this past month.  The church I attend has a lot of older folks and it seems that someone is always dying.  Many of our families have experienced death this past year.  There seemsContinue reading “Is death coming for you? “

Have you ever read something and you have to stop and scratch your head to try to figure out what the author is trying to communicate?  That happens to me a lot.  Especially when I read the scriptures.  For instance, 1Chronicles 4:10 states: Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you wouldContinue reading “Just what is this saying?”

Well, it is December, and we all know what that means.  Every year it’s the same thing.  All the “gottas”. I gotta decorate the house. I gotta plan the meals for the holidays.  I gotta invite all my family and friends over.  I gotta send out Christmas greeting cards.  I gotta go shopping for aContinue reading “Busyness of the Season”

Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was an English woman who had written 66 detective novels and 14 short stories.  She is quoted as having said: “I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”Continue reading “Nothing is Impossible?”
