Luke 22:39-46 {Prayer} Periodically, our world calls us back to simplicity. Simpler is easier, more profitable, better use of space, they seem to say. Companies downsize. Products are marked as being made with “all natural ingredients.” People are practicing the Paleo Diet. HGTV has shows like “Hot Mess House” which are designed to help…
John 18:33-40
Luke 22:14-38 {Prayer} The artist Rembrandt tried to paint the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac. He did it twice. Twice he tried to help others see what faith looks like in that moment. The first time, Rembrandt made a grand painting. This was done early in his life. At that time Rembrandt was…
Luke 22:1-23 {Prayer} Caroline was a woman who had her place. If this was her church, it would there on the right-hand side, near the stained glass window with Luther’s Rose, and closest to the side aisle. That was where she worshiped and to her, that was her place. Caroline’s pastor learned this as…

John 5:1-17 {Prayer} Johnny Lechner is finally moving on. Actually, the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater forced Johnny Lechner to move on. You probably know someone who extended a 4-year college program into 7 or 8 years, but Johnny went beyond that. Johnny had been working on a 4-year degree for 12 years. Yes,…
John 4:46-54 {Prayer} Team Hoyt consists of a father and a son. Together, Dick and Rick Hoyt race. And they race a lot. They have completed 64 marathons, 206 triathlons, 6 Ironman triathlons and 204 10K runs. Since 1975, these two have crossed over 1,000 finish lines. They’ve even crossed the United States. …
John 2:1-11 {Prayer} For Christmas, Faith had been asking for this pendulum clock. Now, this clock comes with probably a thousand different pieces. Some of them the size of my head, some of them about the height of an eraser on the end of a regular pencil. To say that “some assembly is required”…
