We all have those chores we love to hate. One of mine is vacuuming. I love a clean floor, but I dislike having to drag the cleaner out of the closet and take it to the appropriate room to get my cleaning done. What really annoys me is when I go to use the vacuum cleaner and it doesn’t work! The last time this happened, I sat down on the chair to get a better look at the cleaner and spent at least ...

In A Rut
Last Sunday afternoon, our small group went on a prayer retreat. It was chilly for this time of year in Maryland and I was recovering from bronchitis, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to spend time in prayer with this amazing group of people. We started out by praying together, then we were left on our own to pray by ourselves for an hour. I found myself sitting outside in a rocking chair ... Read More about In A Rut

You know, when mankind fell it wasn’t only mankind that felt the pain of the curse. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. ... Read More about Sunflower or Sonflower?
Jimmy
There is a young man I know that grew up in circumstances most of us can’t imagine. I met Jimmy* for the first time when I was a child at Vacation Bible School. The pastor picked him up each night to come to church. Jimmy wasn’t like the other children. His voice was loud and he couldn’t speak very well, and if he got upset it was very difficult to calm him down. It wasn’t until years later I ... Read More about Jimmy
