The end of Summer days.  The start of the school year days.  For some (many?) it will be the not-so-far-away gray and wet days.  Even on the hard days, the sad days, the in-between days … I believe we want to live lives that reflect the heart of Jesus.  I know I want to.  How about you? It seems to […]

What would you say is the most recognized opening crawl in film history?   Gotta be “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away …”  Right? I know this may sound like one of Pastor Lincoln’s engaging opening questions on any given Sunday.  Afterall he’s (much) more likely to quote from Star Wars than I am.   Truthfully, my […]

I have worn glasses since I was 5 years old. I am far sighted so without my glasses I can see things far away ok but I can’t see anything up close and I definitely cannot read without them. If you wear prescription glasses, you know you have to go to the doctor regularly and get your […]

This week I happened upon this statement in reflection upon Satan’s tempting of Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4.1-11):  The evil one offers Jesus everything God the Father offers Him, but on a different timetable and with different requirements.  Jesus remains sinless and validates His readiness to begin making Himself known as the Messiah.1 I believe we all […]

Which is more dangerous, do you think?  The new stop sign on a street you travel regularly?  Or the stop sign removed along one of your typical routes? I have got one of each on my usual routes through my neighborhood.  In my mind they are both new happenings, though both changes occurred a few years ago.  Still, I have to think about them […]

One of the things I love most about living in the Pacific Northwest is that we enjoy four distinct seasons.  Unlike most, Summer is not my favorite.  I am more partial not to the sunny months but to the under 70 degree days with more clouds than sun.  Yes, blue skies with a few fluffy cumulous clouds are […]

I experienced a “use it or lose it” situation recently.  I’ve heard this phrase in reference to muscle tone or muscle memory, about athletic skills, or musical talents.  Or even what we have learned and thought we’d never forget.  Like the street address of your best friend in fourth grade. Or the state capitals or the definition of […]
