Always There To Explore

The 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing was celebrated on July 20th, 2019. My father worked in the space industry in Huntsville, so it was a big event for our family. I remember we pulled the dinner chairs out from the table and parked them in front of our black and white Zenith television. TheContinue reading “Always There To Explore”

A Devotion Worth Imitating

Lizzie Griffiths is 25, a teacher, and lives in England.  She has a pet—it’s a bearded lizard.  Not long after she got “George,” he developed a bump on his face.  She took him to the vet and had it removed.  It returned and she repeated the process.  It came back a third time and she learned it was cancer andContinue reading “A Devotion Worth Imitating”

Too Much Information Or Not Enough Wisdom?

If you’ve been around a while (smile), you’ll remember a time when it was fashionable for people to be told to take off their masks and get real with each other.  We were told to open up, confess, and be less inhibited.  It was for the most part sound counsel as too many people with serious problems triedContinue reading “Too Much Information Or Not Enough Wisdom?”

“There’s Not Going To Be Any More Of That”

My father-in-law was a WWII veteran.  He was drafted soon after he was married in 1942 and stationed in Germany.  He often told people that on the coldest night of his life, he was on the back on a truck in Germany when he received news that his first child was born.  What I don’t ever remember hearingContinue reading ““There’s Not Going To Be Any More Of That””

The Wonder Of Why

A group of atheists in north London have been creating some buzz lately by meeting for church—“atheist church,” as many are referring to it.  I find it extremely interesting that people who don’t want to have God still find a need to have “church.”  Is it a step-down program?  Or maybe a step-up program?  I suppose time will tell. InContinue reading “The Wonder Of Why”

The Walk Of Faith

10,000 steps—that’s what the medical community says we sedentary Americans need to do every day to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  They recognize the difficulty most of us have in finding time to get to the gym or the health club two or three times a week.  They’re telling us we don’t need to do that—we just needContinue reading “The Walk Of Faith”

The Power Of Faith

I wrote this post when Zig Ziglar passed away in 2012.  For those of you who don’t recognize the name, he was probably the top motivational speaker of the 80’s and 90’s.  Along with Dr. Robert Schuller (of Crystal Cathedral fame), Ziglar popularized the kind of thinking that Norman Vincent Peale had written about a generation earlierContinue reading “The Power Of Faith”

The Power Of Choice

It’s not about chance, but choice.  Yet isn’t it true that all too often we find ourselves acting as if we really don’t have a choice?  We are compelled by circumstances, overwhelmed by our past, or influenced by others into a certain course of thought or behavior.  We really had no choice.  The ability to choose is such a remarkable gift.  To have the power to decideContinue reading “The Power Of Choice”

The Power Of An Example

I visited my mother recently.  In the town where she lives, the city supplies the trash containers.  You probably have them or have seen them.  They are huge and tilt back on two wheels so they can be moved easily.  The lid attaches to the handle so it can’t be lost.  In my mother’s case though, the lid and handleContinue reading “The Power Of An Example”
