In the 22nd chapter of Matthew Jesus was being confronted by the authorities of the day.  In an attempt to trip Him up, they asked Jesus to identify the greatest commandment.  Jesus replied: ​

Driving at Night

12/9/2020

 
Picture
One of the first things I was taught when learning to drive was that it was essential to be more cautious when driving at night.  If you’ve counted enough birthdays you may remember when “quad headlights” became the standard on new cars – four headlights instead of the typical two.  Of course, the idea was to have more light in order to drive more safely at night.

Is it That Time of Year?

11/3/2020

 
Picture
​Here we are, back at the threshold of “that time of the year”.  If you think about it, the clarion-call of the world really begins the climb to its crescendo.  The world wants you - actually, it NEEDS you - to focus and worry about so much that is temporary and trivial.

More Than a Symbol

9/29/2020

 
Picture
​Yesterday I was driving in an area of the community where a creek ran through, under the road.  The banks were filled with trees, the ground covered with green growth.  It was a slow traffic moment and I’m glad of that.  For a short time it was an opportunity to look down the little stream.  That’s when I saw the eagle.  He was probably fishing.  During the few moments I was able to watch he worked from one over-hanging limb to another, always looking down into the water.

Stuff to Think About …

9/21/2020

 
Picture
​OK … OK … not just “think about” but also feel.  

For as long as I can remember I’ve always realized that winter here in the United States meant it was summer in Brazil or Argentina.  Over the years I simply never bothered to apply that to the other seasons of the year; fall here is spring there, and so on.  Big deal, right? ​

It’s very easy to see or hear a TV or radio message about good exercise.  Other advertisements encourage us to pay attention to weight management.  If you have an interest in joining a gym for enhanced exercise or an interest in beginning a program for weight loss or weight management the choices are many

..And So We Are

8/11/2020

 
Picture
​There’s an old hymn, written in 1864.  You’ve heard it any number of times, I’m sure.  “For the Beauty of the Earth” is a graceful reminder of the grandeur that surrounds us in creation.  It also draws attention to the joy which flows from the most profound element of creation; love itself.

Give Me a Hint

7/14/2020

​Now there’s a thought that could be either a plea or a challenge.  If tomorrow is my birthday and I know that wrapped gift sitting there is for me – it could be a challenge.  With the right hint, I could choose from a group of possibilities – all good possibilities.

​There are hard lessons in life.  Of course, we’ve all heard the phrase “blessing in disguise.”  Think about it.  How many times have you had a challenging experience of some kind, which lead to something very positive?

What's the Chance???

6/16/2020

 
Picture
If you watch a local TV morning news report while you begin your day, you will hear a weather forecast.  It is nearly certain the forecaster will refer to chance or probability in some fashion or another.  “The rain will hold off this morning, but most of the area has a chance for scattered showers – maybe even a thunderstorm – sometime in the late afternoon.”

Time Flies...

6/2/2020

 
Picture
If you’ve already experienced over four decades of birthdays, it may have started to feel as though time flies faster and faster.  If you’re looking at things from the view of a young child or a teenager, it might seem that waiting for the next birthday or for getting a driver’s license takes almost forever.  You can’t fight time, right.

​I like flowers.  I don’t know much about them, but I like them.  Except for the most well-known (like a rose), it would be unusual for me to even know the name, but I like them.

Overwhelmed...Take Heart

4/29/2020

 
Picture
​Life can follow challenging paths.  It can lead to frustration and anger.  It can bring sadness; even grief and loss may be included.  All of this can generate fear.  The path can unfold even more: exhaustion, drained feelings, and the experience of all energy – emotional and physical – having been spent.

The Focus

Picture
​It’s pretty easy to think of many things which plague us, some of the time or all the time—the Coronavirus springs to mind. There’s a whole host of things of one kind or another that get into our days.  We can get wrapped up in a litany of problems and challenges.
