For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them (Ephesians 2:1-10; NASB). There is a story about a guy who falls into a hole that he cannot climb out of. He cries out to a doctor and a priest, who go on their way after doing little to help. Finally, a friend shows up and, on hearing the guy’s cry for help, jumps in t...
Jesus was with his disciples in Matthew, Chapter 16, and was teaching them about the seriousness of following him. He explained to them in Matthew 16:24 by telling them, “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.’” Many have tried to reveal what this verse means, and we may not fully understand what denying ourselves and taking up our own cross really means. If we’ll continue to read on in this text of scripture, we find Jesus explaining more of the meaning o...

Daylight Savings Time, love it or leave it? Only two states do not observe DST – Hawaii and Arizona – but is it here to stay? Florida introduced a bill that would have made the “Spring Forward” permanent, but it failed to pass. DST was intended to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer. Shifting an hour of daylight from the morning when people are typically asleep just seemed to make sense. The practice was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 while acting as U.S....
A grizzled old man observed with trained eyes and alert ears as the novice young man did his best to hold his own at a table filled with experienced, skillful gamblers and crooked card sharks. Needless to say, things were going from bad to worse. At the end of the long night, the elderly gentleman quietly followed the dejected fellow who now walked with much lighter pockets. He watched as the angry and humbled wannabe used his room key and then slammed his door closed behind him. Noting the...
It seems the older I get, the more I find myself thinking about change. Specifically, there are some things we see when we are young and assume will always be around and popular. It may be the music, television shows, actors, cars, type of architecture, friends, or our leaders, that we just somehow take for granted will always be around. As I get older, the more I recognize there are very few things that stay the same, and that all things change. The really hard part comes when one wakes up one...
I am very conservative in my thinking. I’m not just talking about my political thoughts. I’m talking about socially. I’m talking about spiritually. I’m talking about everything that goes on in this earthly world; my thought process is very conservative. So when people are very liberal in their thoughts and processes, I typically disagree. Not to the point that I call them names and insinuate they are morons or idiots or anything like that. I just disagree and most of the time I go on down the road. However, this week, I found something that I j...
Few people would deny that politics is an important part of American culture. As contentious as political campaigns often get, it is a fact of life that politics is how we elect our leaders in the United States. Politics is messy sometimes and divisive sometimes, but necessary always – if we are to have governmental officials chosen by the people. Unfortunately, sometimes those who get elected to office abuse the positions of trust the voters have given them. We almost always have at least o...
That's the box I want to mark on the presidential election. I have listened to all the bashing, pipe dreams, unfulfillable promises and lies I can stand. I was disgusted the last election and picked out what I thought was the lesser of two evils. No more! This time I refuse to lower myself to their level. I know most everyone has a favorite, and for whatever reason you support them, I salute you. Myself, I am not going to vote for either of them as my protest of both parties’ stupidity. W...
