“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?” (Matthew 7:9). In His Sermon on the Mount, the child in Jesus’ example asked his father for bread, which is something that is right, good and necessary. And we would expect a loving father to give what is right, good and necessary to his child. But I have a very important question to ask you right now: “When is getting a stone better than getting bread?” The answer of course is – when it is our Savior who is giving us the stone. Why? Because it […]

President Jimmy Carter designated the first Sunday of September after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day in 1978. Honoring the role of these senior family members on this day, some schools invite grandparents to a special event or involve students in story-telling activities related to their grandparents. The wealth of comments about the extreme value of grandparents is amazing. But, when doing the research for this article, the most remarkable source came from the grandparents themselves! Of course, there is only space to share and quickly comment with you about a few of their potent responses. Some may make you […]

“Perhaps the most powerful weapon we have, in having significance in our life and an impact on the world, is the love we have for each other.”- Rob Hoskins Discussing race, cultural diversity, and equality can be a harrowing ordeal because of all the differing perspectives and opinions on these topics. Especially on the heels of yet another racially charged attack, this time in Charlottesville, VA. Yet, regardless of the challenges to navigate, these are necessary conversations to have if we desire to see wrongs righted, hurts healed and a Church that reflects the heart of God. Don’t be colorblind […]

  9-1-1 What’s your emergency?  When crisis strikes, we instinctively pick up the phone and call first responders, counting on them to drop everything and run to our aid.  Police officers, firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians take charge when others may panic, defusing violence, putting out fires, rendering first aid and transporting the injured. When calm is restored and patients are in recovery, first responders are on to the next call, often with little or no thanks or fanfare.  It’s what they do every day. These selfless heroes deserve our appreciation, and Thank You First Responder, a nonprofit organization, has […]
