Luke 1:67-79 {Prayer} Don’t you just hate it when someone tells you something really awesome, really great … and you can’t tell anyone about it? Jessica and I have learned over the years that we don’t tell the kids what it is that we got each other for Christmas because they can’t keep…
Matthew 25:31-46 Today is Christ the King Sunday. It is the last Sunday of the church year. It is the Sunday we honor Jesus as the king of our lives and the king of the world. This Kingship of Jesus is clearly seen in our gospel text as He says: “When the Son of…
1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 {Prayer} Here we are the weekend before Thanksgiving. Many people across our nation, including my family, we will be traveling.

Amos 5:18-24 {Prayer} Ever just have one of those days? You know the ones. One of those days where everything is going along great and then something happens.

Matthew 22:15-22 {Prayer} I want to admit right up front, I’m not much of a chess player. And even though I’m not like those professional players who win in no time flat, I have won a few games in my time. Now granted, it was usually against someone like my kids who really…
Isaiah 25:6-9 {Prayer} The age old question that comes from the mouth of pretty much every hungry kid … what’s for dinner? {Beef commercial} Did you happen to notice all the different ways in which that simple ingredient of beef was used? My family likes to watch a cooking competition show called…
Isaiah 5:1-7 {Prayer} There are times that I really appreciate a good wine. My wife prefers the sweeter variety but for me, a good Cab with a steak or a soft Merlot with some pasta is the way to go. Great wines are the product of great care. A great winemaker is…
Psalm 24:7-10 {Prayer} The theme for this LWML Sunday comes from Psalm 24:7-10 where King David proclaims, 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord…
