I got back home this past Saturday from the better part of two weeks in Ireland. One of the features of this trip was visiting churches in the cities I stayed at. Before I tell you of this particular highlight of my trip, I must tell you that I am very, very Irish and have […]
There are two days each century in which all the numbers are the same. 1.1.11 is one of them and 2.22.22 the other. Such a day will not occur again in your lifetime. Is there anything mystical about these numbers lining up? Or magical? Or some special meaning? No, no, and no. But it would […]
The term born-again gets bad press in some circles of Christendom, probably because folks don’t understand what the basic definition is. We all are born into the family of Adam and Eve and become citizens of this natural world, separated from God as were Adam and Eve. When anyone chooses to receive Jesus Christ as […]

But isn’t that what we often do with God in prayer, whose thoughts and ways are higher than ours? Don’t we too often tell Him what to do with a particular person we’re praying […]
When I look outside-in, it’s all about me. How does the world affect me? How does what happens with this event, situation, or happening affect me? If this person acts in this or that way, is it good or bad for me? Does anyone’s death diminish me? When I look inside-out, it’s all about […]
It’s election time in the United States, a time when we choose whom we want to have authority over us in this country for the next four years. The newspapers are full of it, the TV stations won’t let us ignore it, and Facebook and Twitter post distortions and fake news about one candidate or […]
