Nicodemus like many sometimes get a bad rap… He comes to Jesus under the cover of darkness to ask his questions, because he could not risk asking them in the light of day. He had the thought that Jesus was who he said he was, who the people said he was, but his position asContinue reading “Nicodemus…”

Freed to serve…
So why are we here? Many of us probably wondered this from time to time. Why are we here? Are we suppose to do something? Does somebody have a plan for us? I am wired that I want to know what I need to do and get it done. So I want to know whatContinue reading “Freed to serve…”
Wandering?
“One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD,” Moses told the people. They had been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. 40 years of wandering because they did not trust in the Lord. They built a golden calf and worshipped it, and theyContinue reading “Wandering?”
Come and See
“Come and see,” Jesus said to the disciples of John who came after him. Come and see. A physical invitation and yet so much more.

For some winter is still a reality. It is cold and damp and snowy maybe, so to think about Spring cleaning is not for now. I mean we still have 2 weeks until Spring, and then it may not be worm enough to do cleaning. But today is Ash Wednesday. To day is the beginningContinue reading “Lent – Time for Some Cleaning!”
Carl – a Story from an email…
Carl was a quiet man. He didn’t talk much. He would always greet you with a big smile and a firm handshake. Even after living in our neighborhood for over 50 years, no one could really say they knew him very well. Before his retirement, he took the bus to work each morning. The lone sight ofContinue reading “Carl – a Story from an email…”
