What is it that will satisfy you? Or maybe a better question is will we ever be satisfied? In the gospel text sent to me today, Philip says to Jesus, “Show us the Father and we will be satisfied.” Now is that really all it will take? We all know people (and probably most ofContinue reading “Will you be satisfied?”

Look on the heart…
How many of you have ever seen someone and automatically judged who they were and what they thought. Whether or not they were a Christian, simply by their outward appearance? We know we are not suppose to do this, but we all do it. Everyone of us is guilty of this. Our reading for todayContinue reading “Look on the heart…”
Whose accord?
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday… We hear Psalm 23 and the section from John 10 that Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd… We know about shepherds, even those of us who have never been around shepherds, or possibly seen a flock of sheep. We hear a lot about shepherds in the Bible and JesusContinue reading “Whose accord?”
rest awhile…
Do you feel like you have not done enough for the Lord? Like no matter what you do it is not enough? Do you feel empty and a need to be serving more? Are you tired of waiting to go and do, and just want to get out there and love and serve people forContinue reading “rest awhile…”
Are you ready to go to jail.
Today’s reading is from Acts 4:1-4. In it Peter and John are arrested because they are talking about Jesus to the people around them. They are so moved by Jesus and who He is and what He has done for them that they can not be quiet about it. And so the religious leaders haveContinue reading “Are you ready to go to jail.”

Snake handling…
Have you ever been bitten by a poisonous snake? Were you worried about dying? Mark 16:18 says bitten by poisonous snake and drinking poison will not harm you. If you do do this then others can lay hands on you and you will be cured. Interesting. Now I have never seen this, yet I haveContinue reading “Snake handling…”
Mr. Fix It…
Do you know someone who can fix anything? If it breaks you call them and they come and fix it. Like an uncle who would fix everything from plumbing to bats/gloves to bikes and garbage disposals… A friend told me a story about a man who was the fix it person. The family would putContinue reading “Mr. Fix It…”
Praise the Lord!
We all have reasons to not praise the Lord. We do not have to think to hard or to long to come up with reasons to just get mad and angry at everything. It is not hard for us to find reasons to sink into deep depression… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4-iLnDi21k&feature=youtube_gdata_player This is a video for Francesca Battistelli’sContinue reading “Praise the Lord!”
What love…
What love is this that we should be called children? Now tonight if you ask my eldest 2 daughters if they feel blessed tonight to be my children, they would probably say no. We had a run in over burning a comb in a candle. They wanted to see what would happen to the plasticContinue reading “What love…”
