For your summer reading I am going to share a few quotes and remind you of a children’s story. Jesus said, “You will know the truth and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:32). I think as Christians we would agree that Jesus spoke the truth and came to set us free. Truth is… Read More »
Is the struggle hopeless?
Most of us have read “To Kill A Mockingbird.” If you’ve read the book then you might recall when Scout talks to her father about the case. She asks him if ‘we’ are going to win and he tells her no. She then asks, “Then why…” and he says something like, “Just because we’re going… Read More »
No Fences

Candy, Chips or Coffee?
This year March 1st not only begins a month it begins our season of Lent with Ash Wednesday. Although I grew up in the church, I did not grow up practicing Lenten devotional practices or even going to Ash Wednesday services, they weren’t part of my church’s tradition.

Silence is Not an Option
Back in 2006 Bill Lamb, a Louisville TV station manager, stood up to the major TV Network that he worked for and told them he would refuse to air a TV special they had put together. When asked about his decision he said, “I have my own moral compass and this was easy.” He put… Read More »
Does Life Keep Score?
As football season begins I am reminded of Vince Lombardi, a legendary football coach who famously said, “Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.” But shortly before his death he said, “I wish I’d never said the [darned] thing.
