Our hearts
« Previous EntriesJesus 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 [...]
Father of the bride
Wow! What a privilege to be able to give your daughter away in marriage to a special man who loves her with all his heart. Two Saturdays ago-the 21st of February-Meaghan Marie Miller became Meaghan Marie Lambert. She and John Lambert of Decatur, Alabama became husband and wife. John and Meaghan have dated each other [...]
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 [...]
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift. 2 Cor.9:15
This time of year is my favorite for many reasons. I have so many memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas with family and friends. Growing up as a child in the 60′s and travelling to West Virginia and Kentucky, sometimes in snow and ice on two-lane roads before the advent of interstates. Dim pictures in my [...]
Congratulations to President-elect Obama!
To those of you who know me, and my heart, you know I was not an Obama supporter. That being said, here is why I want to congratulate my next President. He ran the smartest campaign in my lifetime. I did not say I agreed with the way he ran the campaign- I said it [...]
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 [...]
Nine days later and a dollar shorter
I was originally going to write this post on the 5th or 6th after returning from Colorado and Wild at Heart Boot Camp. Obviously, that plan was abandoned. Not that I didn’t want to write, or that I didn’t have something to say, but because life got in the way. Maybe a better way [...]
Give me an undivided heart, LORD
I’ll never forget the day I found out that my heart was not whole. It was early in the morning. I was sitting on a park bench. The sun was rising in the eastern sky of central Pennsylvania. The only thing that marred the view was two rows of concertina-topped fences patrolled by armed guards. I was [...]
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 [...]
