If you think about our lives, we spend a great deal of our time making decisions. From the moment we wake until we go to sleep we are constantly making decisions about things. Some decisions we are conscious about while for others we simply make a decision without much thought. Some decisions come easy whileContinue reading “Decision Time”

Caller I.D.
Every day I receive quite a lot of telephone calls on my cell phone. After being alerted by the ringtone, I can then look at the phones caller I.D. to see who is calling. If I am friends with the person then the person’s name will appear. However, if it just displays a telephone numberContinue reading “Caller I.D.”
A Facebook Faith
There probably isn’t a day which goes by, that when I look at Facebook, that I see someone asking me to repost a picture of Jesus. Usually there is a time warning such as in the next 10 minutes. In addition, I should post it if I am not ashamed of Jesus. And sometimes taggedContinue reading “A Facebook Faith”
Beautiful Feet
There are 206 bones in the human body. The human foot has 26. I imagine that God knew we needed the extra support. Our feet do a lot of walking over the course of our lives. The average moderately active person takes around 7,500 steps a day. If you maintain that daily average and liveContinue reading “Beautiful Feet”
Love is Greater Than Hate
This past week the Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka, Kansas came to Richmond, Virginia and staged one of its protests both at the Capital and on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University. The church is known for its use of inflammatory hate speech, especially against LGBTQ people, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, atheists, Muslims, Jews, Romani people andContinue reading “Love is Greater Than Hate”
Wintry Mix
I have always been a snow lover as long as I can remember. I love to watch it fall, the silence of its falling, and the blanket of white that covers the ground. The beauty of a new snow seems to calm us down although it can send us into a panic before it arrives,Continue reading “Wintry Mix”
Spring Forward
For a few weeks now I have noticed the days becoming longer. The long nights of winter are beginning to give way to the light of spring. On March 9 we will move our clocks forward one hour. We enter daylight savings time. Daylight savings time in the US started as an energy conservation trickContinue reading “Spring Forward”
Dust on the Pews
How many of us have ever dusted a rug? I’m not talking about running the vacuum over it, but instead hanging the rug outside and beating the dust out of it. People who frequently learn about rug cleaning and maintenance have probably encountered the term “rug beating.” This cleaning technique was implemented in past decades,Continue reading “Dust on the Pews”
Identity Theft
The phrase identity theft was not part of the English language until 1964, oddly the year I was born. Since that time, the definition of identity theft has been defined as the theft of personally identifying information, generally including a person’s name, date of birth, social security number, driver’s license number, bank account or creditContinue reading “Identity Theft”
Waves of Grace
The amazing thing to me about the ocean is that the waves never cease to come in. I have never arrived at the beach, whether summer or winter, and found there were no waves. Sometimes the waves are bigger than other times, but nevertheless, they continue to roll in. In the beginning of the GospelContinue reading “Waves of Grace”
