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…”

Doubting who?

Today is low Sunday in the church, or the lowest attended Sunday in worship… Why? I heard an excellent message this morning in worship that touched on this. Pastor Amy Danchik this morning said people come to worship on Christmas and Easter because they know they are going to hear the good news of Jesus and howContinue reading “Doubting who?”

Jesus was a puppet…

Are you a puppet? Of course we do not want to think that we are a puppet, we have free will, and decide our own future, our own actions. We are not controlled by anyone or anything! I am my own person and that is that! No one tell me what to do or howContinue reading “Jesus was a puppet…”

together in unity…

Psalm 133 tells us “How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!” How true that is! Aren’t things more pleasant when everyone is getting along? Ever been to a family gathering where everyone knew there was a huge pink elephant in the room no one was willing to mention? Everyone tip toedContinue reading “together in unity…”

Labor not in vain…

Have you ever done something and had it completely fall apart around you? Started a project that just crumbled around you as you tried to carry it out? Had a wonderful idea that once you started to put it in motion you realized that it was not going to succeed? What is success? We eachContinue reading “Labor not in vain…”

Seized by fear…

Mark tells us the woman came to the tomb this morning and were prepared to find the body and to finish the prep that was not done because of the Sabbath. But they did not find Him… The tomb was empty except for the man in dazzling white to proclaim that Jesus was not here. AsContinue reading “Seized by fear…”

What’s so good…

Today is Good Friday. This is the day we remember Jesus was hung on the cross and crucified. He was made to suffer through the most horrifying death imaginable after being beaten almost to death… And I ask again what’s so good about this day? The Gospel reading for today is John 18:1 – 19:42. ItContinue reading “What’s so good…”

Whose feet…

This is Maundy Thursday, the day we celebrate Jesus commemorating the Last Supper, giving us communion, the Holy Eucharist. This was the Passover Feast that Jesus ate with His disciples, except in the gospel reading for today… John 13:1-17,31-35 starts with “Now before the festival of the Passover,” So the Passover is yet to happen,Continue reading “Whose feet…”

What do you need?

I’m sure we have all heard this question before. And I’m sure we have all heard that there is a difference between what we want and what we need. Sometimes there is an overlap, but sometimes what we want and what we need can be polar opposites. And if you are one who follows theContinue reading “What do you need?”

‘What do you want me to do for you?’

What would you say if Jesus said to you,  ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ Hold on just a minute I’ve got that list here with me, let me pull it up, it is in my dropbox and I’ll be able to tell you… Can you think about what it is you wouldContinue reading “‘What do you want me to do for you?’”
