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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Twelve steps of a relapse
Twelve Steps of a Relapse 1. I decided I could handle any emotional problems if other people would just quit trying to run my life. 2. I firmly believe that there is no greater power than myself and anyone who says differently is insane. 3. I made a decision to remove my will [...]
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
I believe in God the Father Amighty.” That’s what the Latin text above says. I do believe. Do you? How about the rest of the Apostle’s Creed. Do you believe that also? In case you forgot, here it is. Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae, et in Iesum Christum, Filium Eius unicum, [...]
