We are not drunk! Interesting way to start a conversation but that’s basically how today’s scripture begins. And if you are going to start a conversation by telling people that you aren’t drunk it’s safe to assume that at least some of the folks you are talking to thought you were drunk. So let’s put…
I Resolve
It’s the New Year and a great time for reflecting and being thankful for where we are in life and what we have. Just the other day I read a story about a woman in South Carolina who beat and stabbed her common law husband with a ceramic squirrel. Yes, a ceramic squirrel. It seems…
Walking as He Walked
How many people here walk? We all walk, sometimes we walk short distances, sometimes we walk long distance but for the most part we all walk. It really isn’t rocket surgery. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other. And in case you have problems with that I googled…
Good bye Winter
So, by my figuring, spring must be just around the corner. No really, we’ve had more winter, this winter, then we had last winter and winter has only been here for a week. So by the time we had this much winter last winter, winter was almost over and spring was almost here. You still…
Christmas: a Line in Time Defining Life

When the crew from a local tugboat company noticed early Sunday morning that the vessel seemed to be adrift, they boarded it to bring it back to the wharf, only to discover 33-year-old Samuel Kenneth McDonough onboard. According…
Christmas, A Line in Time for Mary and Joseph
A Line in Time Mary and Joseph It was almost as if someone had dragged a stick though the sand drawing a line that said this was then and this is now. There has never been an event in the history of man that has so defined human history as the birth of Jesus. That…
The cost of a Beautiful Day.
I was on my way back from my trip to Peru last week and we had a three hour layover in Dallas on November 22, 50 years since the assassination of John Kennedy. And it was cold. Not cool….. cold. When we flew in it was 3 degrees Celsius and raining, it was warmer in…
