Poor Harry…… part deux. Alas, it wasn’t enough to have to write about Harry last week after it was reported that he was cavorting with members of the opposite sex by the pool. Then he goes and loses all of his clothes in a strip billiard game and his friends post the pictures they took. …
I am the Gate
I am. That’s what Jesus said. “I am.” Since June we have been looking at the various times that Jesus used the phrase “I am” to metaphorically describe himself. “I am the Way”, “I am the truth”, “I am the resurrection”, “I am the life”, “I am the bread of life”, “I am the light…
Remember who you are
Poor Harry. The headline said it all “British royal Prince Harry has put his grandfather's ill health to one side to go on a wild holiday.” But did it really say it all? Granted Harry’s grandfather, Prince Phillip, was in the hospital and Harry was in Las Vegas, but so what? Phillip wasn’t dying, he…
I am the Good Shepherd
“I am”. Over the past eight weeks we have been looking at the various times that Jesus describes himself using the phrase “I am”. And so we have examined Jesus words and meaning when he said “I am the way”, “I am the truth”, “I am the life”, “I am the resurrection”, “I am the…
Cheaters never win. . . well maybe sometimes
He cheated! So What? At least that seems to be the consensus. During the Olympics, South African swimmer Cameron van der Burgh, broke the world record on his way to winning Gold in the 100M breaststroke last week. However, video footage shows that van der Burgh took three “dolphin kicks” at the beginning of the…
De-evolving
Sometimes I suspect that if Darwin was alive today he would amend his theory to state that human beings are actually de-evolving. I read an article a while ago about the pitcher on a high school baseball team who was hit in the head by a line drive. Which actually might explain the rest of…
I am the Resurrection
Where is he? Where? Where is he? How many times had she asked that question over the past four days. Her only brother had come down with some mysterious virus and nobody could do anything for him. Well nobody except for their friend Jesus. How many times had he reached out his hand and the…
Vindicated
The dingo did eat the baby! Have you ever been vindicated? You know, after someone lied about you & in the end, it came out that you had been right all along.A month ago, an Australian Coroner ruled that at least one dingo was responsible for the death of baby Azaria Chamberlain in 1980. If…
I am the Life
It’s funny, I don’t have a favorite German Chancellor or a favourite African dictator but I do have a couple of favorite American Presidents. I have enjoyed reading the quiet wit of Calvin Coolidge, don’t know what he was like as a president but he said some quotable things. Although it happened when I was…
It’s All In A Name
Last week a gentlemen asked me if I knew Denny Guptill. Well before I was Denn Guptill, I was Denny Guptill but I wasn’t the Denny Guptill he was asking about. Instead he was talking about D.P.(Denny) Guptill, who was the chief of Police in Saint John, New Brunswick during the prohibition years. When I…
