It Broke My Heart
I was blessed in the last few days to watch two of my children participate in programs honoring our Veterans. At each, there was a section of time dedicated to recognizing veterans according to the time in which they served. This was the first year I can remember when there were no representatives for World War 2. It broke my heart. I appreciate and honor all of our military service people in America, but the veterans of World War 2 hold a special place in my heart. I guess it’s because all 4 of my own grandparents had such special stories of how they served, both in the military and…

Are We Violating Hebrews 13:2 on Social Media?
Hospitality is, unquestionably, a Biblical subject. When we read the Old Testament narrative, we should be struck by how God’s people were to be welcoming and showing care for people. That concept did not change with the coming of the New Testament, however. The New Testament Church is required to be hospitable. It is interesting to me that the book of Hebrews contains one of the strongest statements about this subject in the entire New Testament. This epistle was written to Christians who had come out of that Old Testament law and, thus, would have known the emphasis on hospitality that was present there. Now, the writer is urging them…

Kingdom Veterans
This past week my family has been involved in several Veterans Day celebrations. We have attended concerts and memorials and observances, all in honor of the brave men and women who have served in our country’s military. Attending these events is always such a blessing. They are replete with moments of appreciation, tears, and hearts being moved by the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and who still serve to guard the freedoms we enjoy. At some point in each of these gatherings, all veterans past and present are typically asked to stand and be recognized. In order to qualify for this moment, you have to have served…

The Wrong Question
In some ways, this is a “follow-up” to a recent post by Adam Faughn and a podcast he and Leah Faughn did together. He wrote and they talked about what I consider to be some very good thoughts about the criteria that should be used by parents as they consider youth programs of various congregations. In another way, this post reflects a long-held belief of mine. It is my opinion that too many parents ask the wrong question when their children come home from some activity. Before you think I’m getting too “preachy” or am coming across as “holier than thou,” please let me dispel that notion – quickly. When our children were…

God Heard the Prayers
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! I’m not sure everyone would agree with that, but for me, it is a wonderful time of the year. I have always loved Thanksgiving and that day is only two weeks away! There is just something about gathering together as a family and enjoying time with each other, good food, and lots of laughter that is so appealing to me. I especially like it because you are not under the pressure of buying gifts for everyone!! As a child, we would always gather at my paternal grandparents’ house which just happened to be right next door to our house. There would be aunts and uncles, cousins, and…

What are You Talking About?
The midterms are over. As I write these words, it is election day, but as they are being published, midterm election day is behind us. College basketball has started (thank goodness!). College football, the NFL, the NBA, and the NHL are all well underway in their seasons. Halloween is behind us, but Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming right up. On top of that, I’m sure there are new movies and new albums and new books being released that I just don’t know about. There is so much to talk about. There is so much that drives our larger conversations. We put in our two cents on Facebook. We share articles…

If You Want to Cause a Problem
They wanted to be great. They wanted to make a name for themselves. They wanted to see what they could accomplish. So they decided to stick together. They started building. But then everything stopped. There in the plain of Shinar there was a disruption. Even better, let’s call it confusion. After all, that’s what “Babel” means. God interrupted the construction of their project. He crafted the easiest and most reliable way to cause a problem. He made it impossible for them to communicate. Before God brought confusion it says the whole earth was of one language and one speech (Gen. 11:1). It is interesting that Moses distinguishes here between language…

A Poem to Remember the Next Time You Visit a Nursing Home
Recently, Ron and Don Williams presented some material the congregation where I serve as an elder. They provided some valuable information for people who are dealing with some diseases that most of us dread; specifically, cancer and various forms of dementia. The information was helpful for those who suffer from one of those diseases and for their caregivers. During one of his presentations, Don read the poem I am reproducing below. According to the information he provided, the poem was written by an elderly woman in a nursing home in Ireland and was found among her things when she died. With Don’s permission, I am sharing the poem with you. I am praying that,…
