Read from Book. Now let’s be honest today; how many people here had actually heard of “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins” let alone read it before this morning? I had actually read this book as a child and apparently it stayed with me because the day that I decided to preach this series it…
The Cat in the Hat
The Cat in the HatThe Cat. . .in. . .the. . .Hat. The Cat in the Hat is probably the best known of any of Dr. Seuss’s books, with the possible exception of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but really most people are more familiar with the Grinches’s Christmas special or movie then they are…
Healthy Vision
This is week six of our health check series and for me it represents the most frightening topic that I've spoken about since the New Year, and that is optical health.

The Other Gifts of Christmas
When I say Christmas, what do you think? The birth of Christ, Joy to the world, peace on earth and good will to men? Poppycock, when I say Christmas you think: presents, gifts, goodies.

The Gift Received, Christmas Eve
Well tomorrow is the big day. I guess it's too late to ask if you are ready. Do you have all your gifts bought and wrapped, the tree decorated, the baking done? Hey don't give me dirty looks, I'm just asking. More than at any other time of the year people are thinkin about gifts.…
