March 26, 2020 “Chaos Happens” In my last statement on the Covid-19 viral outbreak, I was more hopeful calling it “a little plague.” I no longer think that is an appropriate term. Perhaps better simply to say “Pandemic.” Watching physicians and nurses don garbage bags because they have no remaining gowns as Personal Protection Equipment [...]

March 11, 2020 “Sick at Home” While sitting on my toilet today enjoying a wonderful bout of diarrhea, I was able to have a moment of clarity about the things happening in our country.  The coronavirus (Covid-19) is now rampant in the community.  Since the US is about two months behind in its testing, with [...]

“Plague”  (A Christian Reflection) March 8, 2020 Is the coronavirus (Covid-19) a plague?  One definition of “a plague” is “a contagious disease that kills many people.” (Wikipedia)  So by this definition influenza A or B could also qualify.  Last year more than 250,000 persons died across the globe of influenza and its complications.  Out of [...]

“For God So Loved the World” “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”  (The Gospel of [...]

“Corruption” A Prayer by William Barclay: “Give to your Church preachers and teachers who can make known the Lord Christ to others because they know him themselves; and give to your Church hearers, who, being freed from prejudice, will follow truth as blind men long for light.  This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.  [...]

‘Hear ye, hear ye!’ Trump’s Impeachment Trial Begins January 16, 2020 These words are designed to ring out across the entire Senate, even now ringing out across all this great land---a time of testing for us, to see what kind of metal we are made of.  This trial is a judgment upon our President, but [...]

“The Birth of a New Baby” Our first grandchild was born today, Ella Louise or “Lou” on 12/28/19 at 12:57PM. She was 8 lbs., 9.9ounces, and 20.5 inches long.  It is a stellar day.  There is nothing I can compare to this, “Lou’s birth” and for son David and Christy, mother, a safe delivery.  The [...]

“Reinvesting in the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord” Sitting in church for worship yesterday, the Lord Jesus spoke to my heart and reminded me that even if Donald Trump is removed as president, this will not solve the evils we face in our day.  With or without this President, the same powers which elected [...]

“A Christmas Meditation - Good vs Evil" With two of our three children at home and my wife willing to go to see the new Star Wars Movie, “The Rise of Skywalker” (Lucas Films-Disney), all four of use made our way tonight to see the last of the Star Wars trilogies.  It was a strangely [...]
