3One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3When he saw … Continue reading Ask The Blind Man

The Walking Dead
No, not the tv show. (What’s up with the infatuation with zombies??) The other walking dead. Actually they’re not really “dead” as the world sees dead. Paul wrote to the church in Rome: 3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore … Continue reading The Walking Dead
The Master’s Touch
Some people are like canvas, their lives taking shape as God paints His vision upon them. Some are like clay on the potters wheel, being molded by His loving hands into a vessel He can use for His Glory. Some are like wood, being carved into a glorious shape that He can use for His … Continue reading The Master’s Touch
ROCK
“There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. 1 Samuel 2:2 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He. Deut. 32:4 He said: “The … Continue reading ROCK
Either way
There's a lot of craziness going on in the world today. And what makes it worse - or seem worse - is when you or a loved one faces some trial or issue that you didn't see coming. Like COVID. As I get older, I tend to think a lot more about people than I … Continue reading Either way
No Man (or Woman) is an Island
Regardless of what Simon and Garfunkel sang, I am NOT a rock, and I am NOT an island, nor is anyone else in this world. The only thing that's truth in those lyrics is "A rock feels no pain; and an island never cries." But praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus, we are … Continue reading No Man (or Woman) is an Island
Fitting In
Billy Graham told the story about a man walking who came upon the site of a newly constructed cathedral. The stone mason was busy at a work bench shaping the last piece, the piece that went on the very top of the spire. The man inquired about what the mason was doing. “Well,” he replied, … Continue reading Fitting In
Comorbidity
Comorbidity. It’s a word that sounds… uncomfortable! It’s one of the words with which we have become more familiar in the pandemic, along with ‘social distancing’ and ‘quarantine’ and ‘corona virus.’ Comorbidity, basically, is the term used for preexisting conditions, ones that increase the chance of death in combination with another disease. We have been … Continue reading Comorbidity
What’s Next?
Consider the following: The Democrats and their Deep State and media allies were willing to illegally spy on Donald Trump. The Democrats used false information to charge the president with treason for colluding with Russia. Later they added a phone call they didn't like to enforce their charges. The Democrats perverted and corrupted the most … Continue reading What’s Next?
The Grey-Haired Brigade
(I did not write this, but I wish I had!) They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, blue hairs, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire, others are from the Greatest Generation already retired. We walk a little slower these days and … Continue reading The Grey-Haired Brigade
