‘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,…

They say to write what you know about.  Well, this is a subject that I really know about!  When I was in high school, I injured my right knee.  The pain was so bad I thought I wasn’t going to be able to bear it.  But in time, it repaired fairly well.  Not well.  Just…

I wonder sometimes about those who are so preoccupied with day to day life, their future, their kids, their jobs, friendships and just where it is they belong in their journey of life.  I have met those, though, who are really not concerned about their future.  I mean their ultimate future.  I also wonder if…

A famous comedienne once said, “I’ve been rich, and I’ve been poor.  I like being rich better”.  For me it’s, “I’ve been healthy, and I’ve not been healthy.  I like being healthy more!”  We can always make some really unwise financial and/or health decisions – but, it’s not always up to us what each day…

When I was a child growing up in Maine, our church was diagonally across from our house, sitting on a hilltop.  Every Sunday morning, the church’s bell would begin to peal calling us to Sunday School – and then to the morning service.  It wasn’t a refined bell – absolutely nothing you would hear in…

Our hearts and minds seem to be always turned to ‘thankfulness’ during this month.  Not that it’s the only time that we are thankful, but with such a wonderful family holiday, the ‘spirit of thanksgiving’ pervades.  We love sitting around a sumptuously spread table with all our traditional and favorite foods of the day.  I’m…

I had returned from Romania to Massachusetts just a few days before and happened to be home all by myself one October evening.  Sitting at my kitchen table, I had my Bible open and was meditating on John 15.15 – “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his…

There is a well-known female speaker whom I love.  Usually, I am completely disinterested in Christian Women Speakers.  It seems all too often that the depth of their subject matter is desperately shallow – and when I am wanting some ‘meat to eat’, they give me frou-frou instead.  I stopped going to Women’s Conferences a…
