Your church will never top the service ours had this Sunday.

I attend what many would consider and old-school church. We don’t have a band making as much noise as they can to get anybody’s adrenalin pumping. This Sunday we sang hymns from a hymnal with an organ and a piano. Okay, our pipe organ is quite possibly the best one in the whole world, but… Continue reading Your church will never top the service ours had this Sunday.

The Day In-between

The room must have felt small. Crammed with His followers, men who left everything to follow the Messiah. All their life they were taught the Messiah would reign. A new, strong Israel would be established. But, Sabbath made them pause. They could do no work, couldn’t travel back to their lake…home. The thoughts of what… Continue reading The Day In-between

Sunday was just one of those days for me

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34 Sunday was just one of those days for me. It actually started last week and came to a head on Sunday. The good news is that I’m back to work. The bad news I… Continue reading Sunday was just one of those days for me

My workday began at 6:00 with a light jacket. By 8:00 the jacket came off. The shirt sleeves were rolled up shortly… Continue reading The migration of the Monarchs is on…the butterfly of course.

A PROPER BURIAL

“Are you sure He’s dead?” “A soldier pierced His side. He never flinched. The spirit has left Him. Yes, He’s dead.” “What do we do now? We can’t leave Him there. Tomorrow’s Sabbath.” Joseph looked around. His glance landed on the tomb he just had completed. “I’ll see if Pilate will give me permission to… Continue reading A PROPER BURIAL

The summertime price for living in Texas

August in Texas is a challenge for most of us. This summer hasn’t been as bad as previous ones, but we’re beginning to feel at home now. 97 degrees is the average high temperature for this time of year. I’m grateful for every day we’ve stayed below 90 thus far. We’ve been near or at… Continue reading The summertime price for living in Texas
