Using Our Time to Prepare
We recently heard a pastor speak about the meaning of this season of the year. This season between summer and fall is a time of preparation: Parents prepare their students to return to school, and older students prepare to go back to college. We see ads on television about “Back to School” sales for new […]
Jesus Really Loves Us
There is a children’s song we all know: “Jesus loves me this I know…Yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so”. These are very true words. Jesus loves us very much. He went to the cross and died, and rose again for our sins. Now […]
Summertime In The Park
Summertime in the park. There is a mix of lawn chairs, kids with glow sticks chasing each other, and the music. The band did not disappoint with an extended rendition of Eric Clapton’s “Before They Bring the Curtain Down”. This song has memories for me. I used to sit at the family kitchen table, working algebra […]
HGTV and Me
Have you ever seen a building collapse, or the opposite seen a building being built? We are fans of the show HGTV. It’s not just the beautiful décor, but the craftsmanship used to build and redo houses, that is so fascinating. Many of the houses are over a hundred years old and still standing. We […]

Do You Know What Time You Are In?
The idioms.com website quotes two comedians as the origin of the statement that many of us have heard and even quoted. “This phrase is the title of a famous comedic play in three acts that was released in 1936 by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The third part is entitled: “you can’t take it […]
Reading The Bible for All It’s Worth – Studying for Context
We are certainly enjoying our journey as we study “Reading The Bible for All It’s Worth”, by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart. This week we are studying in Chapter 3, and focusing on historical context to inform our Exegesis (what the Bible said “Then and There”). There is a process to understanding context. Let’s take […]
The Divine Commencement
This weekend, Willie and I attended the Princeton University Commencement Program. The commencement was soaked in an air of cheers and wonder. New beginnings were awaiting all of the excited students, whose anticipation was flowing not calmly-no! Rather like the raging waters of Niagara Falls. “You did it!” could be heard far and wide from […]
