Jesus is NOT my co-pilot!

Ever see the bumper sticker that says, “God is my co-pilot”? I used to see it a lot more than I do now. But, the reason I bring this up is because for the last several months I have really been in a quandary as to my role versus God’s in the way my choices [...]

Below the fold

Today we (as in everyone who calls New Creations home) hit the big time. Below the fold on the front page of the Carroll County times and first on Yahoo! Local for the surrounding zip codes. WOOHOO! Now the  idea of being and doing church takes on a whole new level of excitement and responsibility. [...]

Not-so-random acts of kindness

        My Mom, Phyllis Miller, asked me to write a letter for her that she could send to her friends. She is trying to multiply a hundred dollar gift into as much money as possible to help a poor family from Haiti. Since I haven’t written for almost two months, I am [...]

On a hill far away…

Sitting on the edge of a 200 foot dropoff while clinging to a cross made of seasoned and weathered aspen makes one glad that there is a God who sees and cares. He sees me perched on a rock 10,000 feet high in the Collegiate range of the Rockies, and He sees me sitting in [...]

Harvey died last Friday

Harvey Hatten died last Friday at the ripe old age of 87. In his casket were two items that signified to those of us left behind that freedom always has a price. An American flag folded at his head and a baseball cap with the words, “The Greatest Generation-World War II” , by his hand, reminded us [...]

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem

A band of brothers and sisters

   Living in the world without someone by your side is dangerous, if not downright insane. Did you ever watch one of those National Geographic specials from Africa? Maybe the ones about the big cats, or one of the other predators like the hyena or wild dog. No matter how many of the hungry beasts there are, they [...]

Are you naked?

GOT YA! Didn’t I! What a question. What a thought. Scary thought, huh? Nakedness is not something most of us, myself included, think about very often. So what do I mean when I ask you, and myself, “Are you naked?” Let’s hear what one of my favorite authors, John Eldredge, has to say about it: [...]
