We all work hard to make something out of ourselves. Some of us have to work harder than others, maybe because of the side of the tracks we come from, maybe because of how many resources are availed to us from mommy and daddy. Maybe because of the country we are born in. In the USA we talkContinue reading “Terror – Honor – Prosperity”

O give thanks…
I really don’t feel like giving thanks. I have been without a call for over 4 months (that’s 120+ days).

I think of all the ways I fail my daughters and my wife, yet they still careContinue reading “Happy Daddy Day…”
Mission Possible from David Lose and workingpreacher.org
I have been looking over these texts for today and thinking about what could be said and all I keep coming back to is the article I read from David Lose from the column he writes each week at workingpreacher.org. I do not think what needs to be said about these texts can be saidContinue reading “Mission Possible from David Lose and workingpreacher.org”
see but not perceive…
Today we have the parable of the sower from Mark 4:1-20 and Jesus explanation of this to the disciples. At one point Jesus says that he teaches in parables so that those outside the circle “may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.” This is an interesting reason, wouldn’tContinue reading “see but not perceive…”
