No, I didn’t make a mistake in my title. Yes, I know most people are going around saying “happy new year.” Everyone seems to be making their new year’s resolutions once again pharmacom for the year 2020. It seems like a good and logical thing to do. Maybe you plan to lose weight or exercise more. Possibly your resolution involves becoming more spiritually-minded and studying the Bible every day, perhaps even reading it through this year. All of those things are good to think about and try to implement in your life, but who said you would have a whole year? Didn’t Jesus Himself say, “Therefore do not be anxious about…

Welcome to 2020. New Year’s Day seems to be a day for reflecting and planning. Resolutions are often written or calendars are finalized. But instead of working on year-long goals, I want to challenge each of us today with some simple things you can do every single day to make your day better. And the best part? None of them takes more than a few moments of your time. Read God’s Word. Whether it is trying to read through the entire Bible in a year or diving more deeply into studying a particular passage, nothing can help you have a better day than hearing what God wants for your life.Pray…

Because we are so driven by time, we really can’t help but reflect on the past year, especially when we are about to turn the calendar. 2020 – Does this even seem possible? Another decade has been completed and we press on to the next. Time is moving on and as the years go by it seems to be speeding up for those of us who are playing the back nine. While it is a regularly accepted practice to make New Year’s resolutions, my question for you today is more about the process by which you come to your decision. Maybe you have no plan to make any resolutions. Maybe…

When I was a child, I thought that there was a great deal of time between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. I’m not sure why I thought that, but it took me a while to figure out that the actual time is only one week. (You may be reading these words a little past the midway point in that week.) As I think back on my misconception about that amount of time, I wonder if all of us are, in some ways, guilty of “mis-measuring” time. I’m wondering if that is true with regard to something much more important than the amount of time between December 25th and January 1st.   According…

If I understand correctly, this will be the final post written by one of the “Legacy Ladies” for 2019. With that in mind, I want to share a brief thought for you to consider as you finish your 2019. A month or two ago, we sang the hymn “None of Self and All of Thee.” Later that morning in Bible class the discussion led to where my brain had already gone: if I am honest with myself, what verse of that song best represents where I am spiritually? I would love to claim verse 4 which aligns with the title of the song. I don’t think I’m stuck at verse…

A couple in Australia recently got a Christmas surprise that they probably do not want to get again. They came home and noticed that some birds on their outdoor balcony were acting very strangely. In fact, the birds were acting so bizarre that one of the people decided to get some footage of the birds. As the video was being shot, they figured out why the birds were acting so weird. The other person was near the Christmas tree and saw something that was not exactly supposed to be there. In among the lights and ornaments, there was a 10-foot python! Amazingly, they left the winstrol australia snake alone and…

It was on a Monday afternoon when we received word that one of our hard-working deacons had been in a terrible car crash and was gone. He was a young man, a godly man, a family man, a generous man, a compassionate man, and this list could go on forever. He was a husband and a father, but above all, he was a Christian man. He was the deacon in charge of benevolence at our congregation, and he took his job seriously. He tried to help as many people as he could and often, out of his own pocket, he would give above and beyond what the church was able to…

The most important question that any person can ask himself or herself can actually be worded in a number of ways. Among those ways are: Am I truly a Christian? Am I saved? Am I certain that I will spend eternity in heaven? Absolutely nothing is more important than for each individual to be able to give a positive response to life’s most important question(s). However, some events in my life have caused me to wonder if there is another question that, while not the most important question, sure has become important to me.  Maybe it will give you some “food for thought” as well. The question has nothing to do…
