    "But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. John 16:32 Ever heard of a fair-weather parking lot? We've heard of fair-weather friends You spend lots of time together…Then hard times come: your health, family problems, difficulties happen -  and they’re nowhere to be found. We know about fair-weather fans. I can remember umpteen years ago when the Houston Rockets… Read More

    Courtesy Madllen They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! " "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Blessed is the King of Israel!" John 12:13 In the message on Palm Sunday, my pastor said something I’d not thought of before: The same people who shouted “Hosanna to the King of Israel” were shouting “Crucify him” a few days later.

    Shame on you – I can hear you shaking your head. “I’ve never done that!” you say. And look! You didn't even bother to rewrap it - you just stuck a couple bows on it! Get real - We've all done it.   Someone gives us a perfectly wonderful gift –   EXCEPT We already have two of them. We have no use for one. And the secret reason: it’s ugly! I can honestly say… Read More

    I love listening to mockingbirds! They perfectly mimic the songs of every bird in their area – a kaleidoscope of melodies. Every chirp and warble is unique. The blue jay doesn’t have a clue what the robin’s saying. The dove’s song is like Greek to the sparrow. Made me wonder: is our “Christianese” a bunch of gibberish to nonbelievers? Are we speaking Greek? When I wrote my Bible study, Storms of Life, I wanted to… Read More
