  • Finishing an unending race

    Rev. Drew Kirtley, First Christian Church - Disciples of Christ|Sep 6, 2024

    Summertime is all about swimming at our house. When we have time, anyway. This summer it was finally time to introduce Kennedy to the idea of taking off the floaties and learning to swim. Her big sister has been doing it for a few years, so she had a little extra motivation. The good news is that she pretty much got it! I wouldn’t feel 100% confident of her abilities in the deep end, but she can doggy paddle her way to the edge of the pool in a bind. Another thing we tried to get the hang of i...

  • The greatest of these is?

    Steve Hamm, College Hill Church of Christ|Sep 6, 2024

    In I Corinthians 13:13, the chapter on love ends with Paul saying, “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” We might ask ourselves, “Why is love so important in the kingdom of God?” Why does Paul make such a big deal out of it? Well, there is so much teaching in the New Testament scriptures as to why it is important. First of all, think about why God sent his son in the first place, it is because He loved the world so much (John 3:16). God continues to teach us many times to love our brother...

  • Impatience

    Arden Chaffee|Sep 6, 2024

    We live in an instant gratification society resulting in impatience. While it is a curse, there is also a good side. When we rush through life, we miss out on the experiences that come from taking our time. Aging isn’t just for Whiskey anymore. Experts agree, we should live in the moment, allowing us an appreciation for the journey and the small victories that come along the way. There are so many of us that don’t have the ability to wait. It is no wonder in a world where it is possible to get t...

  • Loving someone no matter what

    Andy and Renie Bowman|Sep 6, 2024

    “No Matter What” is the title of a popular song released in recent years. The lyrics talk about, “No matter whether we really try to please Him, or if we choose to throw a monstrous bomb into our life and the lives of those around us, He just loves us – no matter what.” Our God just loves us – no matter what. Even though He constantly watches us disappointing Him – over and over again. He has a bird’s eye view of any stealing, lying, cheating and everything else we choose to do. He sees us when...

  • Blessed

    Dal Houston|Sep 6, 2024

    I don’t often write about religion; however, I had the most unusual experience last weekend that I am still trying to process. Last weekend my wife was doing some shopping in a department store, and while she was checking out I sat down on an ottoman type seat near the door. As I sat there all of a sudden I felt the lightest of touch on my shoulder. At first, I assumed it was my wife letting me know she was ready to leave, but as I turned around I found it was an older Hispanic man who had q...

  • Two burnt pieces of toast

    Doug Little|Sep 6, 2024

    Two burnt pieces of toast – one black and one blacker. I haven’t had the opportunity this week to eat breakfast with mom much. So, this morning I went down to eat breakfast with her. That used to be an almost everyday occurrence, but life and jobs sometimes get in the way of what you would rather do. Mom is now 85 and age and health issues have slowed her greatly. By her own admission she can’t remember anything anymore and usually walks with a walker most of the time, and that isn’t my mom of old. I remember a mom that would work all day at...

  • A mysterious fantasy world, part 7

    Roger Hardaway|Sep 6, 2024

  • The cooler weather is nice

    Jim Scribner|Sep 6, 2024

    It is strange that low 90s are a welcome change, but I'll take them. I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. I really didn't do anything. I was going to go to the Fairview or Kiowa car shows, but Jack was busy both days. I don't know if anybody noticed, but the more retired you get, the more things there are to do. I may not get to put in the Fair Street Lake. Wednesday afternoon there was a city machine sitting by the leak. Time will tell if they just set it there to fix the leak or...
