Keep in mind, that was during the days of a very limited radio, telephone or a next day newspaper. In Luke 24 we learn how two men, going to a village seven miles away, (Emmaus) from Jerusalem, on that very day, were discussing the events that had taken place relating to the resurrection. How swiftlyContinue reading “NEWS-WORTHY”

GOD USES UNUSUAL PEOPLE
He has such a personality, and his ability to communicate is beyond the normal; wow!” You meet another who you are convinced: “What a “nice” individual! However, I doubt that he or she will get far in life.” Try reading Exodus 3:13, 14 “But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I, that I should goContinue reading “GOD USES UNUSUAL PEOPLE”
ADDING/SCATTERING
A large portion of my growing up days was in a house attached to a Lighthouse. It made for interesting times. Perhaps the most exciting of times, when a hurricane would “invade” the Island! To describe all of the times would be unnecessary, because there was much that was alike, but not always. The winds,Continue reading “ADDING/SCATTERING”
TOO PROUD TO ASK
Over the years a preacher is approached with all types of questions, sometimes they are legitimate, and other times they come from pre-conceived ideas. When they originate I try to determine the apparent legitimacy; or is it for the purpose of arguing. I hate debating, and thus I find myself in a defensive mode, evenContinue reading “TOO PROUD TO ASK”
HARVESTING
Lying on the table in the surgical room, an assistant to the surgical doctor introduced herself. I do not recall all that was said, I was half out of it from medication. However, I do remember these words: “I am the harvester. It describes my responsibilities. My job is to harvest some veins for Dr.Continue reading “HARVESTING”
THE STONES CRY OUT
Undoubtedly you have read of some of the findings of archeologists, things they “dig up” from the most unexpected places. I visited and viewed the Dead Sea scrolls, and came away knowing little more than when I arrived. Admittedly, I was not totally ignorant of what to expect prior to that visit, yet, I realizedContinue reading “THE STONES CRY OUT”
WORTHWHILE PONDERING
A dear friend from my past had multiple sayings that he utilized conveniently. Among the many was: “My minds made up! Don’t confuse me with the facts.” I loved it because in working together it became his method of re-evaluating a situation, seeking input that would justify pursuing another direction, and then resting in theContinue reading “WORTHWHILE PONDERING”
BARNABAS
A situation develops of a disagreement in opinion, and sometimes it gets a little explosive. People who are intent that it is of significance; others are ready to say “let it go”. Then, there are those who feel that in time it will show itself to be either good or bad, just let it sitContinue reading “BARNABAS”
CANDLEHOLDERS
As I made the decision to use the redwood, it was with the idea that this particular wood comes from trees that stand majestically above most other trees. You may have your own “redwood” doctor, but mine are Dr.’s Florendo, Jilly and King. When it came to nursing care, there was Scott and Barbara. CertainlyContinue reading “CANDLEHOLDERS”
A TALL HEADSTONE
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:8 Had you grown up where I did, one prominent headstone in the graveyard of St. Anne’s Church, Southampton, Bermuda would have caught your eye, just as it did mine. That churchyard, likeContinue reading “A TALL HEADSTONE”
