It was 1979. The phone rang. “Hello.” There was a pause and then the song, Reunited by Peaches and Herb, began to play. I stood there stunned. Willing myself to hang up but frozen and unable to move. Reunited, and it feels so good Reunited, ’cause we understood There’s one perfect fit And, sugar, this one… [Read More]

Quietude: April 23 2017
Let me ask you something… We’ve just come away from this season of Lent, Holy Week, the Crucifixion, Sad Saturday, and Resurrection morning. Let’s really think about this. The final months of the Son of Man’s life was spent teaching the people about the Kingdom of God. Holy Week began with palms waving and people… [Read More]
The Language of Love
I’d venture to say that Gary Chapman’s book, The Five Love Languages, is familiar to most of you. If it isn’t and you want to understand your relationships better? READ IT! As most of you know I’ve been spending a lot of time in the red words of the Bible! The Gospels! The red words are… [Read More]
Quietude: Resurrection Sonday 2017
Today, there are many who are still looking. Still searching. Still seeking. Still yearning. For an empty place to be filled.

Quietude: April 9 2017
A man of sorrows. And we did not care. Those are the words in Isaiah 53 that bring me great pause. Why is it we think of Jesus as our beautiful One? The Word tells us He was “nothing much to look at.” Easy on the eyes? No, not our Jesus. Then, why? Why does God… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: ENOUGH
Last night was one of those nights! 9 p.m. and I dropped in to the Twitter five minute friday party only to find our party had been crashed with twitter trash. I’ll spare the details. I didn’t stay because my eyelids were in rebellion to any form of light – so I deep dove under… [Read More]
