I mentioned some historical dates last week…a couple more caught my eye. June 6th was D-Day…the 1944 Allied landings on Normandy in World War II. I was struck by the fact that 90% of the soldiers in the first wave of landing craft never lived...
2 June 2026 I’m not sure if you noticed a couple of important commemorative dates this past week…? One, perhaps we all knew was coming, June 1st is technically the first day of Winter, and the current weather conditions seem to agree wholeheartedly! The other may be...
26 May 2026 Most of us live pretty close to our calendars. Whether or not you’re still in the work force, there are schedules to keep, appointments to remember, birthdays & anniversaries to celebrate, holidays to keep in mind… timetables, to-do lists, and medicine to take...
20th May 2026 I’ve been introduced to an historian/philosopher named Mark Atwood. I know nothing about him other than what he’s written…much of which is far too intellectually deep for me to understand. BUT…what I do understand is awesome. For instance…He writes about the pre-Reformation church...
12 May 2026 As I’ve been reading & re-reading Romans both devotionally and as our Ladies Fellowship Bible Study for the year, I’m continually amazed at how Paul sees the church of Jesus Christ…that’s us! Two critical pieces are repeated throughout the New Testament letters &...

27 April 2026 It’s no secret, at least to Christians, that the Old Testament is written to point us to Jesus and the life of his people, the church, in the New Testament. You’ve likely heard me say many times over the last 20 years that...
23 April 2026 Happy Thursday y’all! Apologies for the late delivery of this week’s news…somehow Tuesday turned into Thursday and here we are! Nonetheless…I shared the following with some folks this morning & it still seems worthy of more note… Grab your Bibles & turn to Matthew 11:28-30:...
14 April 2026 I was thinking this week about CS Lewis’ words of wisdom: “There are two kinds of people in the world; those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, ‘Ok…have it your way.’” It really is that straightforward....
7 April 2026 He is (still) Risen! It’s a worthy reminder…Easter is not a day. Easter IS a season and a lifestyle! The resurrection, & the whole-creation-restoring good news that it brings is more than a single day on the yearly calendar of holidays. The church notes a...
