Good morning everyone, Ecclesiastes1:18– For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief. Sadly what has become "mundane" as we watch the news or read the newspaper is the constant tragedies that go on all around the globe. Some of the tragedies for us as Americans can seem so crazy that […]
It is so much easier to see a problem from the outside than the inside. It is so easy to pick out the flaws in others, but it is so difficult to do the same with our own flaws. I think that’s also true when it comes to our nation. As Americans, it is so […]
Good morning everyone, James 4:7-8-Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. What I believe we forget to "deal with" many times as we go on […]
I hope you had a very merry Christmas! As I am sure many middle-class American parents can attest to, I watched my children open their gifts on Christmas morning. They had been waiting for weeks for this day to arrive. Now that it is finally here, they excitedly opened all their gifts. And gifts did […]

Good morning everyone, Isaiah 5:20-Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! I have been reading a few articles about the death of long time North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. It has been fascinating […]
Have you noticed how the whole world seems to be addicted to love? If you want to gauge a society, you look at it’s popular culture. What do people sing about? What do they make movies about? What makes the headlines of its popular magazines? Love. And this is not unique to the U.S. It […]
Do you ever wonder whether there is a correlation between our effort and the outcome of our work? Ff course, we naturally assume there is one until an inexplicable event arises. For example, a healthy man who exercises everyday with no prior health issues drops dead of a heartattack. Or a health fanatic who only […]
Sorry for the late devotional, my computer shut down on me this morning John 13:6-8-He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" 7 Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." 8 "No," said Peter, "you shall never […]
