Dear Family and Friends, The good news first. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 is no longer a global health emergency. The bad news is the US surgeon general declared another public health epidemic – in the same week! About half of the adults in our country say they’ve experienced loneliness. The statistics cited

Dear Family and Friends, “My Lord and my God!” John 20:28 NIV These were the words of Thomas, the apostle we often refer to as Doubting Thomas, once he believed. Can you imagine living an eternity with that nickname? Which, if we’re being honest, causes many of us to look down on Thomas. We’re all

Dear Family and Friends, Does Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Maverick, Have Gun Will Travel, and The Rifleman bring back old memories?

Dear Family and Friends, Today we continue to prepare our hearts for Easter by reviewing a few more passages from the week leading up to that glorious Sunday. The Last Supper was done, they were not yet in the Garden, and Jesus was preparing His disciples for what was to come when he said: “This

Dear Family and Friends, One of the hardest decisions I made when I first started pastoring at church had to do with the Saturday evening meals. The decision was hard, not in the sense of knowing what to do. It was hard because the decision would disappoint a lot of folks. At the time, our Saturday evening service

Dear Family and Friends, On one of our trips to Japan, we had an encounter I’ll never forget. We were riding on a bus when a blind woman and her friend got on. Unfortunately for them, all the seats were taken. Not to be deterred, the friend carefully maneuvered the woman into one of those
