WHO’S DRIVING THE BUS? Suddenly, it seems like the world as we have known it is unrecognizable. I don’t know about you, but in spite of a lifetime of faith, prayer, and hope, recently I keep thinking,  “Who’s Driving the Bus?” I do believe with all my heart that it is God’s Son, Jesus Christ,Continue reading “May 5, 2020”

“TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? YOU ALONE HAVE THE WORDS OF LIFE.” I pay attention, as I think you do, to language.  I am curious about word choice and its impact, whether intended or unintended.  Some words we find ourselves using these days in the course of conversation: “Stay At Home Order” (sounds like somethingContinue reading “May 4, 2020”

“Be still and know that I am God” -Psalm 46:10 Breathe. Amidst this unknown time, it is important to remember to breathe and be still.  Take a moment to look away from the news and to stop thinking about all that we have lost during this time. Some have lost events that they looked forward to forContinue reading “May 2, 2020”

My daughter has a good friend who lives in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.  On Tuesday he sent a video of his drive interrupted by camels running beside his car.  Maybe you have heard the phrase “hump day.”  In our country that is Wednesday.  For Jason that is Tuesday.  In the UAE, Sunday is aContinue reading “May 1, 2020”

What’s New? So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. -Paul (II Corinthians 5:17-18) Hardly a day has gone by in this Covid-19Continue reading “April 30, 2020”

It’s the Little Things As we slow down as we’re hunkered down, it’s the little things that come into focus. Maybe it’s the new growth on that tree right outside the front door that you always barely noticed or the beautiful birds, butterflies and squirrels playing effortlessly in your backyard. Now that we have time,Continue reading “April 28, 2020”

Meh! And God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night.” And it was so.                                                                                                -Genesis 1:14-15     Long ago, Joni Mitchell sang in her popular tune, Big Yellow Taxi: Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘tilContinue reading “April 27, 2020”

During this pandemic many people have talked about how bad this disease is and the effects it has on us. But are there not good things about this virus? Like how many people are getting outside to get exercise. In my neighborhood not many people used to walk around. Now I see people walking aroundContinue reading “April 25, 2020”

Missing Our Church We are fortunate that our technology enables us share communal worship virtually.  How limited our worship would be if we didn’t have access to the internet!  Still, being virtually together is a poor substitute for the closeness we feel there, one of the main impulses drawing us there each Sunday morning.  Continue reading “April 24, 2020”
