Lives Too Busy to Live

Is this a statement that you have made, or at least thought to yourself?  Each day is filled with such a long “ToDo” list that you sigh because it has taken over?  Or you fill your day with the wants of others so that you run all day long?  Have you ever wondered why no [...]

McJesus

Not knowing what to write about I cruised the internet for a while hoping for an inspiration.  I happened apon a quiz that showed you two versions of a corperate mascot and asked you to identify the right one.  The differences were slight such as on which side does Ronald McDonald wear the famed “M”.  [...]

If You Would Only Listen

One of the great frustrations of being a parent is to stand by and watch your children struggle through their own messes.  I think we do our children a great disservice by “rescuing” them.  They need to sort out and deal with the problems they create in their own life.  But that said its still [...]

“Found”

Today I had the opportunity to watch a movie than, in the mainstream was considered a sleeper, had a powerful message… at least to me.  The title of the movie is August Rushand while very hokie and unrealistic at times was the powerful story of love found, then lost, then found again.  Concert Celloist who [...]

“But they remained silent”

Why is it that we expect so much from our religious beliefs but give so little? 
There is a gentlemen who works in my office, (Well, work is not a great word for him…exists would be a more appropriate description) who wears this huge crucifix around his neck.  Its almost as if he expects that if [...]

New Insights ontop of Old

In my quest to health I finally figured something out today. But first let me remind myself (and you if you care) what I have learned so far in this journey.
First, this life we live isn’t it. This is not our final destination. (I learned this a long time ago but its an important foundation.) [...]

Keep me Safe, O Lord

I know that a friend is going to think that I stole this idea from him but in truth I have been struggling with this idea for a long time.  Where do adults go when they want to be safe?  As children when we get scared of the things that “go bump in the night”; [...]
