I recently listened to a Documentary, “All About Jesus”.  The film had to do with the Resurrection of Christ.  Was it true?  Was it fabricated?  Was it to promote a self-serving ideology by the Roman Government at the time?   To answer these questions, and discuss whether Jesus truly was bodily raised from the dead was…

I can never enter the month of February without thinking about ‘love’!  Even if it weren’t for the copious greeting cards in our faces both online and in stores – all the candy directed towards Valentine’s Day – clothing on display with hearts and ‘I love you’ – ads for the ‘Sweet Day’ in the…

I don’t know what the problem has been all these years, but I am SO not a Monday person!  I feel like my brain always fell asleep over the weekend (though I was extremely busy with family, church activities, doing an occasional concert, cooking, baking and cleaning) – but I got up Monday mornings definitely…

Cantata:  a composition for one or more voices usually comprising solos, duets, recitatives, and choruses and sung to an instrumental accompaniment. Several years ago when my boys were young, my aunt and uncle invited us to enjoy their church’s Christmas Cantata.  I was to be included in the Christmas musical presentation playing carols before the…

As a scientist, John, I know that you know infinitely more than I ever will (or could) about science and God ‘matching up’.  I’ll never forget the message you gave at our church years ago in doing exactly that.  I hardly understood a word you said (scientifically), so it might come as a surprise to…

Several years ago, I used to visit terribly poor Gypsy-peasant homes in Romania.  These ‘homes’ would have been condemned in America.  The two-room houses (sometimes only one room) for a family of four to ten were beyond filthy, sparsely furnished, swarming with flies, and with odors that turned my stomach.  On the other side of…

Scripture tells us that as followers of Christ we are to be like Him, look like Him, and yes, even smell like Him.  To ‘be’ like Him, in Leviticus 11.44 we read, “For I am the Lord your God . . .  be holy, for I am holy.”  That’s a tall order for this one…

Once again, just like that, it’s August.  WHERE did a whole year go – and so terribly quickly?!  I have much to be thankful for in the past year.  God has been so good (yup! – all the time – all the time, so good – to me!).  But that is not what I want…

Every year as we celebrate the 4th of July, my heart and mind are drawn to how grateful I am for America.  I say often, “Thank you, Lord, for my having been born and bred in this huge, beyond beautiful and amazing country”.  We sing, ‘God Bless America, land that I Iove . . .” …

‘They’ say nowadays that there are almost as many weddings in the month of October as there are in June.  However, I think that in most of our minds, we still think of June as being the ‘wedding-month’.  The thing about weddings is that it really doesn’t make much difference when a ceremony takes place,…
